Yesterday we spent the day at Nemrut Dag. Nemrut Dag is one of my favorite archaeological sites. Built by Antiochus I Commagene during the first century B.C., the site sits atop Mount Nemrut. The monument served as a place of worship for Antiochus and a series of both western and eastern deities. The sites consists of a large tumulus, eastern and western terraces, and a large fire altar. Simply amazing! P.S. Sorry about the beard, going on 12 days without my bag!
