I climbed my first mountain today!!
Mount Nemrut, it is the highest mountain in Mesopotamia, which is 2150 meters (7001 feet) high in elevation.
On top of the mountain, a tumulus (burial mound) was constructed for King Antiochus, who is believed to have a tomb inside.
Massive statues were once erected, but earthquakes in the area destroyed them.
Archaeologists tried to get inside the mound, but it had collapsed, and so they were unable to reach the burial chamber.
This had been on my bucketlist since I was 15, i am ecstatic that I was able to see it on the Türkiye tour!🇹🇷
