Video: 18 month old boy can point out all the countries on a map The video was posted on YouTube by Aanav's mother, Dr Bijal Jayakar, a rheumatologist in Cleveland, Ohio. She claims she and her dentist husband Dr Abheer, started talking about their home city of Delhi, India before teaching other world capitals to their young son who simply retained the information. I said, 'Delhi is the capital of India' and he remembered. So I did China and France. The common ones. We started off with easy capitals and in six weeks, he knew 53 of them," she said. Now, as the footage confirms, the young prodigy can point correctly to any one of the countries his mother names on a large, coloured map of the world. After several correctly identified countries, Aanav loses attention and turns over onto the black and white world map on the reverse, proving that his memory is not prompted solely by the colours of the countries.
