It is one of the most magnificent ruins of the Hellenistic Period with its tomb, monumental sculptures and unique view, built by the Commagene King Antiochos I, who ruled on the slopes of Mount Nemrut, 2150 meters high in Kahta District of Adıyaman, to show his gratitude to the gods and his ancestors. The monumental statues are spread over the east, west and north terraces. The eastern terrace is the sacred center and therefore the most important sculptures and architectural remains are located here. The well-preserved giant statues are made of limestone blocks and are 8-10 meters high. The king's tomb, although known to exist, has not yet been discovered.
