Located in Eastern Turkey and considered as the eighth wonder of the ancient world, Mount Nemrud has been a source of mystery and debate for over 2000 years. Using previously-unseen footage of excavations, on-site interviews with scholars, 3-D computer animations, and thrilling battle re-enactments, this film traces the history of the Mount Nemrud sanctuary and its builder, Antiochus the Great of Kommagene.
Nemrut or Nemrud (Turkish: 'Nemrut Dağı') is a 2,134 m (7,001 ft) high mountain in southeastern Turkey, notable for the summit where a number of large statues is erected around what is assumed to be a royal tomb from the first century BCE.
