The Secrets Of The Commagene Kingdom
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!

Long time waiting to go to Mont Nemrut. Everything was well organized by the Tour operator. They have picked me up from the hotel in Istanbul. The driver, Ramazan and the tour guide, Huseyin, were very nice and respectful. They have explained every detail of the history of the region. I went by plane to Adıyaman, the earthquake didn’t destroy the city. The hotel was clean, employees were very kind. Mesopotamia is a place with great history, the beginning of our civilization, I recommend to go to more cities like Urfa and Mardin

Wonderful experience, although tired. We has to ho there on t'he afternoon at sunset and in the morning for sunrise, but It was only in the afternoondue to physical problems. We also saw other monuments. Too bad there is only 1 plane on t'he morning from Istanbul and you can't go back and forth t'he same data. T'he guide and driver very well.
