This time presenting King Antiochos and the goddess Kommagene.

Nemrut Dag (Mt Nemrud) is a mountain measuring 2,150meters in height. It is located near the village of Karadut in Kahta county in the province of Adiyaman. Both side of Mountain have several giant heads of Antiochos, the goddess Kommagene, Zeus-Oromasdes (the Graeco-Persian sky-god and supreme deity), Apollo-Mithras, and Herakles-Artagnes so they can see worlds the best sunrise and sunset.

Kings of the Kommagene dynasty from 80 B.C. to 72 A.D ruled Adiyaman and its vicinity. This kingdom, whose capital was Samosata (now called Samsat), was founded around 80 B.C. by Mithridates 1, father of Antiochos 1. The kingdom's independence came to an end with its defeat by Roman legions in the last of the Kommagene wars and it became part of the Roman province of Syria...

Hy Ugur
More head growing out of the earth. Looks like the exposure is just a little off - the head is the foreground seems a little hot on his right side. Having said that this has been a real interesting series. Hope there is more.

Merhaba Uğur,
Serinin bir diğer estetik parçası. Bu kez höyük ile heykeller arasınfdaki doku uyumu göze çok hoş geliyor. Eline sağlık
