Hope you liked the Kyrgyzstan episode, so you know the deal before we go into that little intro song thing

I got to kind of fix up the small things that I made mistakes on in the episode surprisingly

Surprisingly, I don't think there were a lot

I got a lot of feedback from the kyrkgz subscribers until like yeah, who's overall pretty good

But there were still a few for one

I said the Epic of Manas was the longest epic poem in all the world if we're just counting the number of lines and verses

Then kind of technically - is the longest one it has about half a million

But if we're talking about overall word length then the Sanskrit

Mahabharata from India and the Epic of King Gesar are from Tibet are longer even though they each only have about

200,000 lines and verses and so you know you decide also I believe this image that I use for cutter coal is not actually cut

a call its choppin otta

Which is a resort on ecq lake?

They're both on the same lake, but you know is just different picture and yes

I am fully aware that in the friend zone the animation included a flag of Switzerland to symbolize medical aid

It's funny because I literally had this discussion with Ken the day before we uploaded. I'm like Ken you used a Swiss flag

You know we're gonna get a lot of comments on this and we did so for the 19 thousand four hundred and eighty fifth time

Ken you're fired, I just can't go on without Ken alright, Ken you're rehired alright

so that just about does it let's go into the intro slide shall we without further ado a

Cutest and Kazakhstan party animal little brother you can't help, but just love the guy

He's got some great dance moves so anyway the flag the flag of Kyrgyzstan is a red banner with a Yellow Sun

Containing 40 uniformly spaced rays crossed by two sets of three lines yes

I am fully aware that it looks like the Xbox logo, okay like

9422 of you guys already wrote that to me prior to making this video the three cross lines are actually supposed to symbolize the upper

cross rods or Duke of the sealing center of a yurt the traditional nomadic housing structure of kyrgyzstan this and return

symbolizes the origin of life unity and home the Sun stands for peace and prosperity

Whereas the 40 Rays are said to represent the original 40 tribes of?

Kyrgyzstan, which were all united under the national hero - and the red stands for

Bravery and valor sorry no animation this week hey. I don't make the rules of flags

I just report it now keep in mind this flag was actually adopted in 1992 after independence

And it was actually kind of like their first real

Sovereign state flag prior to this care Gaston was pretty much under every version of the Russian Empire and the Soviet empire after the Soviets

They were the Kyrgyz SSR which they use this flag and for seven months after independence

They used the same flag

But just without the hammer and sickle as they were trying to figure out a new flag for their country, but yeah

This was kind of like the real first Kilgus flag alright moving on now the national emblem

Which is interesting because it has a lot of blue in it the emblem contains a blue disc flanked with wheat and cotton sheaves on?

The side with the tian shan mountains in front of a Rising Sun in the background

With EC kul lake at the bottom in front of everything is a Falcom or auction mark with wings spreading symbolizing freedom

generosity and vigilance on the top and bottom you find the words written in Cyrillic Kyrgyz Republic caste or

Kilgus Republic now keep in mind this emblem was actually just adopted in

2016 prior to that they had another emblem that was almost completely identical except the colors were just a little off shaded oh

Yeah, and during Soviet times

They used this Wow like yeah wow yeah Soviet symbolism has always kind of pushed the limits of detail quantity and quality so yeah

That's pretty much it for the kicker, Stan. There's only one thing left to do you know what time it is
