Maiden Tower

International Proud to be First to Publish
New Theories about Maiden Tower
Azerbaijan International is proud to be the first publication
to write about this discovery (in any language - English, Azeri
or Russian). It is the hope of our magazine staff along with
Abbas Islamov and Ronnie Gallagher who identified this phenomenon
that further scientific and archaeological investigation will
lead to the establishment of an annual tradition of opening the
Tower as a public event and a further unraveling of the mysteries
of Baku's most distinguished landmark: the Maiden Tower.
Hopefully, these dates will become a traditional tourist attraction
in the future just as they are in many other parts of the world
where thousands of onlookers rise early and line up in front
of these monuments to get the chance to view this sunrise phenomenon.
May such commemorations remind us of the ingenuity in the construction
of the Maiden Tower and Early Man's deep respect and awe for
the wonders of Nature.
