Mount Nemrut the legend is famous for its giant mousalea and God statues which were built for Commagene King; “Antiochus I” who ruled in Adıyaman except of its height size. The king have these statues and mousalea done to show his appreciation for the Gods and his own ancestors. Another interesting point is here; there are two different sets of the same group of statues. One group of them welcomes the rise of the sun and the others welcomes the sunset. Isn’t it gorgeous!

Mount Nemrut
Nemrut is a 2,134-metre-high 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. The mountain lies 40 km north of Kahta, near Adıyaman. In 62 BCE, King Antiochus I Theos of Commagene built on the mountain top a tomb-sanctuary flanked by huge statues 8–9-metre high of himself, two lions, two eagles and various Greek, Armenian, and Iranian gods, such as Heracles-Artagnes-Ares, Zeus-Oromasdes, and Apollo-Mithras-Helios-Hermes.These statues were once seated, with names of each god inscribed on them. The heads of the statues at some stage have been removed from their bodies, and they are now scattered throughout the site.
Our tour will end with the magnificent sunset here and our vehicle will drop you off at your hotel.
