Seve Briasteros
Nemrut
At 2,134 metres, the summit of Nemrut mountain in southeastern Turkey, there are a number of large statues erected around what is assumed to be a royal tomb built by King Antiochus I Theos of Commagene in the 1st century BCE.
The tomb-sanctuary is flanked by huge statues 8–9-metre high. The statues were once seated, with names of each god inscribed on them. At some point the heads of the statues were removed from their bodies, and they are now scattered throughout the site.
It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This is the Head of Hercules-Artagnes-Ares on the western terrace of Mount Nemrut.
