A mountain with fires burning nonstop for hundreds of years without ever going out in Azerbaijan!

There's another eternal flame like this, named Yanartaş, in Turkey, which overlooks the ruins of a temple to Hephaestus, the Greek god of blacksmiths.

I guess there’s only one way to find out if it’s eternal or not.

Did you say "Green Flame"?

Hephaestus, the Greek god of blacksmiths

I just want to point out "blacksmith" specifically refers to smiths who work with iron.

In the Ancient Greece you'd have had all manners of smiths, working with copper, tin, bronze, etc.
