Tumulus or burial mound of King Antiochus I, Nemrut Dagi, near Adiyaman, southeastern Turkey. During the 1st century BC, the 2,150 m/7,054 ft high peak of Nemrut Dagi was reduced to rubble and turned into the tumulus of Antiochus I. The terraces of the tumulus sport a number of statues including five gigantic heads of Apollo, Tyche, Zeus, Antiochus, and Hercules. The area is now a national park.
