What are some interesting cold knowledge in Turkmenistan, the hometown of BMW?

Turkmenistan's most famous product is natural gas. Turkmenistan has proven natural gas reserves of 50 trillion cubic meters, ranking fourth in the world. A considerable part of the natural gas used in many domestic cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Urumqi comes from Turkmenistan.

What makes Turkmenistan most proud of, of course, is BMW Sweat. The scientific name of BMW Sweat is Akhalje Golden Horse. At the center of the national emblem of Turkmenistan is the Akhalje Golden Horse, which they are proud of.

The Arhalje Golden Horse is tall, with short hair and streamlined body shape. If a white horse runs, after a few minutes, the subcutaneous capillaries will become congested and the skin will turn pink, which is the origin of the name "sweat BMW".

Turkmenistan's development achievements are often included in the Guinness World Records. To give a few examples: Turkmenistan is bordered by Iran, and the two countries have cultural similarities. Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, means "capital of love" in Persian. In October 1948, Ashgabat had a massive earthquake of magnitude 7.3, which razed the city to the ground. Now the rebuilt Ashgabat is very beautiful and spectacular. Because Turkmenistan is rich in marble, the exterior walls of many buildings in the capital have been decorated with marble, which has set a world record. Ashgabat is also known as the "White City".

In 2018, Turkmenistan created the largest number of indoor cyclists, with a total of 3246 people training at the same time in a gymnasium; In 2019, Turkmenistan put into operation the world's largest plant that uses natural gas to produce gasoline and diesel; Earlier, the newly completed Ashgabat International Airport was included in the Guinness World Record as the "airport with the largest number of fountains".

Another record that has been maintained by Turkmenistan is the world's largest carpet. In the 1940s, carpet craftsmen woven the giant carpet that set the world record at that time. This carpet, called "Soul of Turkmenistan", covers an area of 193 square meters. A few years ago, Turkmenistan's craftsmen set a new record for the world's largest carpet with an area of 750 square meters.

Finally, let me tell you something interesting. The residents of Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, usually refer to the location by the number of legs. But leg refers to horse leg. At the intersection of the main traffic arteries or large parks in the capital, there are usually group sculptures of BMW. If it is a horse, it is four legs; Three horses have 12 legs. What I remember most is 48 legs, which means a group of sculptures composed of 12 horses. Therefore, when taking a taxi, talking to the driver about "several legs" is simpler and clearer than reporting place names.
