Overview of the thrones and the heads of the gods on the eastern terrace of Mount Nemrut. From left to right: King Antiochus I, Commagene-Fortuna, Zeus-Oromasdes, Apollo-Mithras and Hercules. Mount Nemrut (Turkish: Nemrut Dağı) is one of the highest peaks of the Eastern Taurus mountain range in south-eastern Turkey. The mountain top is crowned by a 50-metre high tumulus of crushed limestone rocks which was built in the 1st-century BCE by King Antiochus I Theos of Commagene. The place is notable for the colossal stone heads and thrones which were erected around the tumulus.

Mount Nemrut at 2134 metres high, is breathtakingly beautiful. The statues on the summer are believed to be the temple tomb and house of the gods built by king Antiochus 1 of Commagene as a monument to himself. We climbed up to the top and after walking around and viewing the statues we sat with them and watched the sunset. #mountnemrut #nemrutmountain #turkey #ancientruins #statues #sunset #sittingonthesummit #ontopoftheworld #grainfreeandhappykitchen #holiday #vacation #travel #exploring #ancienthistory #sightseeing #photography (at Nemrut Dağı) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzuaIlaAFYF/?igshid=f9c1guv66tzc

Hello from Mount Nemrut! 🇹🇷🏍️❄️Mount Nemrut is a mountain in southeastern Turkey known for its statues and monuments erected on its summit from the 1st century BC. The flat mound in the third photo is believed to be the burial mound of King Antiochus I of Commagene. The heads of statues once sat on their stone bodies, but at some point they were removed. This site is famous because it is a testament to Antiochus’ Greek and Persian ancestors.This has been on my list since I touched down in Turkey. I was told by many locals there was still snow on my mountain, but I tried anyways. I’m glad I did because the friendly security guard used Google Translate to inform me that while the road was still closed due to the snow, I could still hike up. So off Crystal goes hiking in the snow!Amazing isn’t it? Mount Nemrut is definitely top 5 of my favorite spots in Turkey. The snow adds such a a beautiful element, doesn’t it? ❄️
