An image from the time when the 2,000-year-old tombs and monumental statues built by King Antiochus I of Commagene on the 2,150-meter-high Mount Nemrut to show his gratitude to the gods and his ancestors were first built. Mount Nemrut or Nemrud is a 2,134-metre-high (7,001 ft) mountain in southeastern Turkey, notable for the summit where a number of large statues are erected around what is assumed to be a royal tomb from the 1st century BC. It is one of the highest peaks in the east of the Taurus Mountains. #MountNemrut #Nemrud #Tombs #statues #KingAntiochusI #TaurusMountains #ancient #historical #history
