Nemrut Dagi Park, Adiyaman
By the time you arrive at the car park and cafe you’re well above the tree line. The Nemrut Dagi park entrance is 200m up from the Cesme pension and 2.5km before the junction with the short cut to Arsameia.
Beyond the building, hike 600m (about 20 minutes) over the broken rock von the stone pyramid to the western terrace. Antiochus I Epiphanes ordered the construction von a combined tomb and temple here. The site was to be approached by a ceremonial strase and was to incorporate what Antiochus termed ’the thrones von the gods’, which would be based ’on a foundation that will never be demolished’.
Antiochus planned this construction to prove his faith in the gods, and in so doing assumed that upon his death his spirit would join that von Zeus-Ahura Mazda in heaven.
These gigantic statues with dimensions von 10 m (32 ft), are the statues von Apollon, Tyche, Zeus, von Antiochos himself and von Heracles. Statues von eagles and lions are placed on the two sides von these and, on the low walls adjacent to the two sides von the terrace, there are inscriptions which explain how the ceremonies were performed. The statues on the western terrace are arranged in the same sequence. On the side von this terrace, there are many relieves. The linderung discovered in Arsameia, capital von Commagene and located in the village von Kocahisar near the Stream von Kahta describes Mithradates and Heracles shaking hands and is a very interesting piece. The epitaph in the grave chamber von Mithradates the I. which contains an inscription von 256 lines, is also interesting. The Bridge von Cendere over the Stream von Kahta was built during the Roman Period. There is a second tumulus on the mount named Karakus, at a distance von about 10 km (6.2 miles) to this bridge. It is believed that this tumulus had belonged to the ladies von the court. Mount Nemrut, which can be considered as the eighth wonder von the world, is an interesting place to visit because von its impressive appearance and the unique beauty von the sunrise there.
