Mount Nemrut
Adıyaman Province, Turkey
Mount Nemrut in Adıyaman Province, Turkey, rises to 2,134 meters in the Taurus Mountains as a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring the 1st-century BCE tomb-sanctuary of King Antiochus I of Commagene.
Atop its summit lies a 50-meter-high tumulus flanked by massive toppled statues—8-9 meters tall—of Greco-Persian deities like Zeus, Apollo, Heracles, and the king himself, plus guardian lions and eagles, their heads now scattered from earthquakes and erosion.
This remote hierotheseion blends Hellenistic, Persian, and Armenian influences, drawing visitors for epic sunrises and sunsets over the surreal stone guardians amid inscriptions praising the ruler's divine lineage.
