Product Description

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 more than 2000 years; ever since Antiochos of Kommagene chose it as his burial sanctuary. With the use of never-before seen archival footage of excavations, on-site interviews with scholars, 3-D computer animations, and superb battle re-enactments, the film traces the history of the Mount Nemrud sanctuary and its builder, Antiochus the Great of Kommagene.

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.
