11 Eternal Flames That Won't Be Snuffed

Eternal flames are often intentionally ignited for symbolic significance. But there are also plenty of natural blazes burning around the world, some of which have been flaming for 6000 years! Here’s a hot list of 11 eternal flames that just won’t quit! 1. Chestnut Ridge Park, New York It’s a bit of a mystery how this eternal flame keeps alight behind a pretty waterfall in Shale Creek Preserve. Native Americans set it aflame thousands of moons ago, but how it sustains is anyone's guess. 2. Smoking Mountain, Ethiopia One of the driest and hottest places on the planet! A rare geothermal balance keeps the magma molten, resulting in a pool of glowing liquid fire! 3. Eternal Fire of Baba Gurgur, Iraq This extensive oil field has been blazing for over 4000 years! Some scholars believe this was the “fiery furnace” referenced in the Bible. 4. The Gates of Hell, Turkmenistan This destructive inferno has been raging for 40 years now. The 200 feet hole was created in a Soviet industrial accident that exposed an underground cavern of methane gas. 5. Smoking Hills, Canada This land of fire and ice is where enormous deposits of lignite spontaneously combust. It was discovered in 1828 by Sir John Franklin. 6. Olympos Mountain, Turkey Said to be the inspiration for the Chimaera monster, it has been used as the mountain’s natural lighthouse for over 2000 years to help sailors navigate the rocky shores. Methane gas seeping up through the rocks is what fuels these fires... 7. Water and Fire Cave, Taiwan You’d think the surrounding H2O would extinguish this inferno but methane gas bubbles through cracks in the rock and even the running spring can’t quell these eternal flames. It’s been burning for at least 300 years. 8. Fire Temple of Baku, Azerbaijan This has been ablaze for centuries, often mentioned in ancient texts. Even Marco Polo made reference to this fiery phenomenon when he passed through the region in the 13th century. 9. Centralia Coal Mine, Pennsylvania This now abandoned gas reservoir sparked in 1962 and despite attempts to put out the fire, it continues to smoulder and cause faults in the ground to this day. The town was condemned in 1992. 10. Burning Mountain, Germany This seam of coal in Saarland, Germany ignited in 1688. No one really knows how it started. Steam can be seen and heat can be felt emanating from the rocks. 11. Mount Wingen, Australia This continuously blazing underground coal field makes the landscape glow like a burning mountain. It may be the world’s oldest perpetual coal fire, with some estimates claiming it’s been aflame for over 6000 years!

Around 95% of the population are Muslims. 85% of the Muslims are Shia Muslims and 15% Sunni Muslims, and the Republic of Azerbaijan has the second highest Shia population percentage after Iran. Other faiths are practised by the country's various ethnic groups. Under article 48 of its Constitution, Azerbaijan is a secular state and ensures religious freedom. In a 2006–2008 Gallup poll, only 21% of respondents from Azerbaijan stated that religion is an important part of their daily lives. Of the nation's religious minorities, Christians who estimated 280,000 (3.1%) are mostly Russian and Georgian Orthodox and Armenian Apostolic (almost all Armenians live in the break-away region of Nagorno-Karabakh). In 2003, there were 250 Roman Catholics. Other Christian denominations as of 2002 include Lutherans, Baptists and Molokans. There is also a small ethnic Azerbaijani Protestant community. There are also Jewish, Bahá'í, Hare Krishna and Jehovah's Witnesses communities, as well as adherents of the other religious communities. Some religious communities have been unofficially restricted from religious freedom. A U.S. State Department report on the matter mentions detention of members of certain Muslim and Christian groups, and many groups have difficulty registering with the SCWRA. There is the Hindu Fire Temple of Baku ("ateshgah" in Persian) with an "old" structure which, according to travellers, has been a place of visit for Hindu priests for more than a millennium in Baku. The place is often "misrepresented as a Zoroastrian fire-temple" due to frequent association of "fire temple" with the Iranian religion of Zoroastrianism.

In olden times the residence was a true paradise place among Absheron waterless saline steppes. Today Mardakan Arboretum of National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan is located on the place of the former cottage of Murtuza Mukhtarov. And on the territory of the Arboretum visitors can see a small three-room pavilion, in which a house-museum of the Russian poet Sergey Yesenin is situated.

These places, where oil runs out of the ground and natural gas breaks through with burning torches, always attracted fire worshipers from all over the world. Baku, its oil, "burning earth", has been known far beyond its borders since ancient times. In the written sources of the Middle Ages, related to Baku, it is consistently mentioned about “eternal lights”, located in its vicinity. Byzantine Paniysky Prisk wrote about them one of the first at the beginning of the V century, describing the city of the Caucasian Albania, he referred to the area where "flame rises from an underwater rock." The Arab historian al-Balazuri in 754 also reported about oil and Shirvan salt. Caravans arrived here for oil from all over the Middle East. The official religion in the states emerged in the VII century BC, such as Mannea and Media, was Zoroastrianism, the spread of which was related to spontaneously flammable oil and gas sources. That is why such monument as Ateshgah temple has survived on its territory to today. Ateshgah Fire Temple is located within 30 kilometers from Baku center, in the south-eastern suburb of Surakhani village on Absheron Peninsula. There was a sanctuary of Zoroastrian fire-worshipers, who came here to bow to sacred fire. It is assumed that this first shrine dates to the beginning of the Common Era. After the Arab had conquest Azerbaijan and Baku, and the population had adopted Islam, the fire temple was destroyed. Many Zoroastrians, who declined Islam, had to leave to India. The history of fire-worship continued there. Many years passed before trade and the Silk Road linked the fire-worshipers with this sacred shrine again. Fire worship in Surakhani resumed after the XV century, when economic and cultural relations with India were being developed. As the sources certify, the arrival of Hindu pilgrims was noted already in the XVII century, they came to bow to the sacred fire.
