Tour Description On your way to Mount Nemrut, you will visit the 'Karakus Tumulus', also known as the 'Kara Kuş Mezarı Mound', a monumental tomb built in 36 BC. You will also cross the Cendere Bridge, an ancient Roman bridge still in use today and remarkably well-constructed. Take photos of the ancient Roman Severan Bridge and learn about the Kingdom of Commagene by visiting the Arsemia ruins, dating back to 200 BC. The region between the Taurus Mountains and the Euphrates River was called Commagene during the Greek and Roman periods. Commagene was founded as an independent kingdom in 162 BC by Mithridates I Kalinikos. The kingdom experienced its most glorious period during the reign of Antiochus I (69-36 BC), who succeeded Mithridates. Most of the archaeological remains that have survived to this day date back to the reign of Antiochus I, including the tumulus at the summit of Mount Nemrut, which still refuses to reveal its secrets. At the summit of this 200-meter-high cone-shaped mountain are statues of Apollo, Zeus, Hercules, and other mythological figures. Mount Nemrut, the highest point in the region at 2150 meters, offers spectacular views for sunrise or sunset, while the heads of the statues scattered across the mountain add a mystical atmosphere to the scene.
