Mount Nemrud,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mount Nemrud: The Throne of the Gods (DVD)
This video gives a great recent history of this wonderful 2200 year old sculpture site and the work of the archeologists who have worked on it. The old history is extremely interesting and this video we bought from Amazon was a "must have" for us after recently climbing to the site in Turkey on an Overseas Adventure Travel tour.

This review is from: Mount Nemrud: The Throne of the Gods (DVD)
This is a fascinating, straightforward documentary about the remarkable burial site of King Antiochus I, a contemporary of Julius Caesar who ruled in Commagene on the Euphrates (in what is now eastern Turkey). I'd seen some of these colossal sculptures before, but never understood their context. Thanks to excellent photography and interviews, I feel like I've been to Mount Nemrud. I only wish this doc was twice as long and went into deeper detail about theoretical reconstructions of the site, but as it is, it serves as an excellent introduction.
