Video info:
On our first stop on our tour of the historical and archaeological sites of Turkey we visit the ancient site of Mount Nemrut. Soaring 7,000 feet into the sky, this lofty mountain top is home to a mysterious and ancient ruin. A massive grave and cultic complex commissioned by the Persian and Greek leader Antiochus I. The tomb is flanked by enormous stone reliefs of gods that highlight a mix of influences that met in this area at the time showing Greek gods wearing Persian clothes.
The most striking feature of this site is the enormous burial mound. An unopened tomb that remains a mystery to archaeologists and historians alike.
Join me and my team as we work to uncover the secrets of the ancient temple of Mt. Nemrut.
