Statues of Nemrut - Old Kingdom of Commagene.
This is a special ancient site on the top of Mount Nemrut, in the form of a pyramid, 50 meters high, with three terraces, with the tomb in the center of the Commagene king Antiochus I (probably built in 62 BC).
In 62 BC, King Antiochus I of Commagene built on the mountain top a tomb-sanctuary flanked by huge statues 8–9-metre high (26–30 ft) of himself, two lions, two eagles, and various composite Greek and Iranian gods, such as Heracles-Artagnes-Ares, Zeus-Oromasdes, and Apollo-Mithras-Helios-Hermes
