Mount Nemrut is a mountain measuring 2,150meters in height. It is located near the village of Karadut in Kahta county in the province of Adiyaman.
The magnificent ruins on the summit of Mt Nemrud are the famous tumulus (burial mound) and hierotheseion (sacred burial precinct of the royal family) of King Antiochos I of Kommagene, who ruled from 69 to 36 B.C.

There were ruins built on it but God created the mountain nobody built the mountain. There is however a smaller hill built on the mountain made out of pebbles. Itr is still a mystery how humans built it. It was built to house the graves of the kings of the time.
