The mausoleum of Antiochus I (69–34 B.C.), who reigned over Commagene,
a kingdom founded north of Syria and the Euphrates after the breakup of Alexander's empire,
is one of the most ambitious constructions of the Hellenistic period.
The syncretism of its pantheon, and the lineage of its kings, which can be traced back through two sets of legends,
Greek and Persian, is evidence of the dual origin of this kingdom's culture
The best period is between May 15 and October 15. The sunrise and sunset in Nemrut is magnifient and fascinating. The road is ashpalt up to the village Karadut and the rest is basalt. Near the peak there is a 15 minutes walk. Touring vehicles can be hired form Adiyaman or Kahta district. Long Tour: For those who aiming to watch the sunrise, it starts at 2 AM form Adiyaman, going through the places of interest all over the Nemrut National Park, lasts 3-4 hours. Those who want to see the sunset, the tour starts at 2 PM from Adiyaman. Short Tour: Tours including only Nemrut Mountain but not the other ruins and relics of the Commagene civilization. There are also daytime tours.
