We learned about Baku. It is in Azerbaijan. It means “violent winds”. Mom has never heard of Azerbaijan before because she learned about all the countries it was in the Soviet Union. 82% of the population is muslim! The one city used to supply over half of the world’s oil. Hitler tried to invade it but failed.
We read weird poem about acorns.
The early Mongols had maybe 4,000 killed by lightning each year. “Mong” in “Mongol” means “brave”.
