How many World Cities can I name? (PART 7: Middle East and the Caucasus)

[@barbonson_richards]

Bro names 20 cities in azerbaijan and says he could name a few more but thinks he got all the "obvious" ones

[@burreauxjets9609]

Love the series! Also definitely prefer the smaller circles for city size to better see their location

[@arrowheaded]

haven't watched yet, but praying you remember Karaj lol 2:28 YIPPEE!!!

[@HGsAlt-pt5yw]

Honestly I think it's fair to look up the spelling of some of these, especially if they are not in English considering this site usually want very specific spellings

[@michaelwisniewski6047]

Well done! Speaking if ancient cities, you should have tried Palmyra in Syria (where I once visited right after a sand storm and spoke to a lone Japanese tourist who spoke maybe 10 words of English). In Turkey I would have got some more touristy places, given I was a tourist there, like Pamukkale, Marmaris, Fethiye, Ölüdeniz, Göreme (in Kapadokya, crazy place). In Israel you might have been thinking of Qiryat Shemona in the north, I’ve not been there, but been to Qatzrin in the Golan Heights and Safed, a city known for Jewish theology. Dimona is famous for its nuclear weapons facility (took me hours to hitch a ride there) and Ein Gedi is a nice place by the Dead Sea. In Oman I recommend Al Hamra, in the mountains, and also there, a small town, Misfat al Abriyyin, whose name I’d easily forget but remember it as the Misfit of Aberdeen.

Especially Excited for the Europe and South America ones to come, Soon??

[@walterxbenjamin]

I was definitely screaming both Adana and Kayseri at the screen, but you did get both of those in time.

[@bramba0147]

I saw this and was so hyped cause i love this series and because i use this site a lot

[@GeographyNerd112]

FYI, in BIOT the capital Camp Thunder Cove isn't in database (that is the only city in BIOT)

[@Джеклейланд]

In Georgia the city Gori is the birthplace of Stalin so a semi well known place, Also I believe Lusail was built after the database for this website was finalised. Edit: Jabalya, Yazd, Hofuf, Tabuk, Hail, Abha and Najran were some of the others I noticed were absent, mostly down to my recent studies on KSA cities

[@JamesG761]

The beat in the world at naming cities?

[@jakelyonsgeo]

@@JamesG761 I doubt it haha

[@biel6160]

Great as always! Although for small countries, at least in my case, I prefer the city dot diameter to be as small as possible. Maybe it would help you too, as looking at the country shape helps me remember of more places!

[@GeoJaydi]

Insanely impressive stuff!

[@jp-gq3fn]

8:23 I had to look it up but Yemen actually has a higher population than Saudi Arabia

[@jakelyonsgeo]

@@jp-gq3fn that’s crazy, I would never have predicted that

[@darkshoxx]

Oh no, you forgot about 15 Yemen road, Yemen. The place where Chandler Bing searches for energy sources to replace fuel. 😉

[@minamagdy4126]

Just so you know, "al wusta" and "al shamal" both denote geographical position (the central and the north, respectively), so they're highly unlikely to be considered city names.

[@calvin_geo]

Absolutely love this series 🙌

[@mihonestareaccion3]

oh and to type corum you need to select the every country option

[@SKO_EN]

That makes literally no sense, eh...

[@TyllToons]

You're insane. What's your method for studying cities? Personally, I mainly just stare at Google Maps a lot. I've got an ongoing game that I keep adding to whenever I remember something or learn something new, right now I'm at 1955 cities worldwide, 515 of which in Germany. You're close to that already and so far you've only done two continents

[@deryaisik21]

you def got all the provinces there in turkey

[@jakelyonsgeo]

@@deryaisik21 I think I missed Adıyaman 😔

[@deryaisik21]

@@jakelyonsgeo ohh damn right that's a very forgettable one

[@tuudurvantamme]

impressive knowledge. I did only Europe and got little over thousand cities.

[@csstuff421]

There are those times where I'm really at the mercy of the database. There are places like Shahr-e Qods / Qods (this one's a Tehran suburb and not the one Jake typed) and Eslamabad-e Gharb that I can't input for some reason EDIT: Pro tip: The consonant of al- only changes if the next consonant is a "sun letter" - the word for sun in Arabic is "ash-shams", while moon is "al-qamar". Hence letters that aren't sun letters are "moon letters"

[@nqglis]

Got the noti and immediately clicked

The Golan Heights one is Nof Hagalil.

[@elainerose8799]

Well done 🧠 “the prison one” 💀

[@powerek]

Your beard has grown a bit, I think you should shave it 😅

[@norbertkaldy7563]

Big ones in Saudi you missed: Yanbu, Hail, Buraydah, Abha, Tabuk. Otherwise you did great! About 99.999999% of the population only know Baku if even that 😂

[@Gastogh]

Being denied by fiddly spelling feels like robbery. I wouldn't mind if you went back to check some of those and filled them in at the start of the next episode, obviously not touching stuff you forgot or didn't know.

[@Rand0mperson433]

How are u so good at Azerbaijan at all places?! It doesn’t even have street view

[@jakelyonsgeo]

@@Rand0mperson433 it’s come up a lot in the subdivision series on my discord server

[@Rand0mperson433]

@jakelyonsgeo oh yeah I forgot about that channel lol. I’m assuming most Azerbaijani subdivisions are named after their largest city?

[@jakelyonsgeo]

@ yes

[@pevpevpevahmedmohsinpevpevpev]

u missed uşak at turkey ı guess, ı dont know the second one. Hatay is a city but antakya is a district, the game didnt took hatay as a city thast weird
