EDITORS COMMENTS
Nemrut Dag, located in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey, is home to the extraordinary Tomb of Antiochus I, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a testament to the grandeur of the ancient Commagene Kingdom. This breathtaking image captures the northern terrace of the tomb, bathed in the warm, golden light of a sunny day. The colossal head of the god Apollo, carved from the rock itself, gazes out with piercing eyes, a symbol of the divine protection granted to Antiochus I. The Asian origins of the Commagene Kingdom are reflected in the fusion of Greek and Eastern influences evident in the tomb's design. The Ottoman and Asian influences are further emphasized by the square shape of the tomb and the intricate rock sculptures that adorn its exterior. The use of natural colors, enhanced by the sunlight, adds to the monument's awe-inspiring beauty. Antiochus I, a king of Commagene from 38-36 BC, commissioned the tomb as a symbol of his power and wealth. The tomb complex includes several terraces, each adorned with colossal heads of various gods and kings. The northern terrace, with its striking head of Apollo, is a favorite among visitors for its unique combination of history, art, and natural beauty. As you stand before this magnificent structure, you can't help but be transported back in time, imagining the grand processions and ceremonies that once took place on this very spot. The Tomb of Antiochus I at Nemrut Dag is a must-see destination for anyone interested in ancient history, archaeology, or simply the wonders of the world.
