Nemrut Mound


Nemrut Dagi Mt Nemrud is a mountain measuring 2,150 meters in height. It is located near the village of Karadut in Kahta county in the province of Adiyaman.Kings of the Kommagene dynasty from 80 B.C to 72 A.C ruled Adiyaman and its vicinity. This kingdom, whose capital was Samosata (we 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. At its height, Kommagene extended from the Toros ( you know Taurus) mountains on the north to the Firat (Euphrates) river on the east and southeast, to present-day Gaziantep on the south, and to the county of Pazarcik in Kahramanmaras on the west.
