Wonders of Azerbaijan

Traveling to Azerbaijan is one of the most fascinating and leaving some of the best impressions of the old people, nature, traditions, customs, and of course its cuisine. Traveling in Azerbaijan you will find how different this country is, and this contrast is very close. Walking along the modern streets above modern Baku, in some miraculous way you find yourself in the old eastern city, whose walls have seen different periods of history, from the Shirvanshahs Palace to the Maiden Tower, proudly standing by the sea. For some 2 hours you get from the semi-desert, into the country of thousands of volcanoes, and two hours later into the old red agate mountains.

Odin's Homeland

During one of his trips to Baku, the famous scientist, navigator, archaeologist, oceanographer Tur Heyerdahl expressed a hypothesis about the connection of the ancient Vikings with Azerbaijan. Thor Heyerdahl, referring to the fact of the resettlement of the Vikings from Azerbaijan to Scandinavia, referred to the Scandinavian sagas, as well as the texts of the famous 13th-century Icelandic historian Snorre Sturlusson. In a text dated 1220–1240, Sturlusson talks about events that took place more than two thousand years ago, referring, apparently, to sources now lost. If you believe the text, then two generations before Christmas in the Caucasus, King Ogden lived and ruled by people who were called aces from the country of Azer. Heyerdahl, relying on the fact that Ogden, aka Odin, the supreme god of the Scandinavian pagan pantheon, found out many more facts proving the fact of the resettlement of the Vikings, in particular from Azerbaijan, and some common spiritual roots and beliefs. Also in the text of Snorre Sturlusson it is noted that when the Roman legions came to the country of Azer, Ogden could not resist them and left through the lands of the Russes to the North. In the ancient sagas, the chronicler Snorre directly indicates that the first Viking king Odin (Ogden) led his people out of the country of Azer. Odin himself was a shaman, and his magical knowledge and practice inspired respect for those around him. There are a lot of interesting things in the sagas about the initial fire worship of the Vikings. According to the chronicler Snorre, it was Odin who brought and distributed it. When he was terminally ill, he bequeathed to his body to be burned at the stake, and this form of burial, exported from the country of Azer, continued for many centuries with the Norwegians before they adopted Christianity.
