In 62 BCE, King Antiochus I Theos of Commagene built on the mountain top a tomb-sanctuary flanked by huge statues 8–9-metre high of himself, two lions, two eagles and various Greek, Armenian, and Iranian gods, such as Heracles-Artagnes-Ares, Zeus-Oromasdes, and Apollo-Mithras-Helios-Hermes.These statues were once seated, with names of each god inscribed on them.

Mount Nemrut is renowned for its colossal mausoleum and statues of gods, constructed for the Commagene King, Antiochus I, who reigned in Adıyaman. The king commissioned these statues and the mausoleum to honor the gods and his ancestors. Interestingly, there are two distinct sets of these statues: one set greets the sunrise, while the other set bids farewell to the sunset. Isn’t it magnificent!
