It is an immense mound on a mountaintop located in the eastern Taurus mountain range in southern Turkey, near the town of Adiyaman. Mount Nemrut is home to an ancient complex built by the fourth, and arguably the most famous, king of Commagene, Antiochus I Theos (the ‘God King’). In Armenian legend, Hayk defeated the Biblical king Nimrod (equated with Bel) and buried him in these mountains. Copyright Megalithomania 2018. All Rights Reserved.
