Bu yüzler yaklaşık iki bin yıl öncesine ait, ona bakan gözler yirmi birinci yüzyılın gözleri.

Bu dağ yaklaşık iki bin metre rakımda… insan, zaman fark etmeksizin hep aynı küstahlıkta.

People of Kommagini, let the glory of Antiochos, the noble king, be celebrated as it deserves. He was a provident ruler of the country. He was just, wise, courageous. In addition he was that superlative thing--Hellenic-- mankind has no finer quality: everything beyond that belongs to the gods.

C.P. Cavafy, “Epitaph of Antiochos, King of Kommagini,” from Selected Poems (translated by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard)

Antiochos Herkül ile tokalaşıyor Nemrut dağı. Adıyaman. I. #Antiochos Kral Mithradates’in oğlu olan I. Antiochos, Kommagene Krallığı’nın en tanınmış kralıdır. MÖ 70 ile MÖ 38 arasında 32 yıl krallık yapan Antiochos, babası #Mithradates ’in başlatmış olduğu tanrılarla yapılan sözleşmenin merkezi olarak #NemrutDağı ’nda bir tapınak inşa ettirdi. TapınaK yeri olarak dağın doruklarını seçmesinin nedeni tüm ülkeye hakim bir nokta olmasıydı. Tapınağı babası Mithradates ile birlikte tasarladı. Tanrılarla sözleşmenin öneminin Kommagene halkı tarafından iyice anlaşılması için tapınağın çok görkemli olmasını istiyordu. Yaptıkları sözleşmenin yeni bir din olacağını düşünüyor ve bu dinin #Nemrut ’tan çıkarak tüm dünyaya yayılacağına inanıyordu. Bu inançla, kral olur olmaz kendini “Theos” yani tanrı olarak ilan etti ve Antiochos I Theos olarak tarihe geçti. Antiochos and #Hercules I. Antiochos Antiochus I, the son of King Mithradates, is the best known king of the Kingdom of Commagene. Antiochus, who reigned between 70 BC and 38 BC, built a temple on Mount Nemrut as the center of the contract with his gods, Mithradates. The reason why he chose the tops of the mountain as a temple place was that he was a dominant figure in the whole country. He designed the temple together with his father Mithradates. He wanted the temple to be so glorious that the importance of the contract with the gods would be well understood by the Commagene people. He believed that their contract would be a new religion and that this religion would spread from the Nemrut and spread all over the world. With this conviction, he became a e Theos ve, the tarih god tarih and became history as Antiochos I Theos. #Gapturu #antikgezi #kültürgezileri #tarih #arkeoloji https://www.instagram.com/p/B7AzubclUqO/?igshid=vyweykff9chy

Epiphanies Nikator, the oldest son of Antiochos VIII, on the obverse with his diad, the reverse with inscriptions and Zeus enthroned, Nike and scepter in hand.

These coins originated from the Seleucid Kingdom that was established by Seleukos, general of Alexander the Great, after the death of Alexander. At its peak, the kingdom comprised almost all of the conquests of Alexander the Great with the exception of Egypt. Antiochus VII ruled from 138-129 BC and led a successful campaign in Palestine and Babylon. He ruled with competence and integrity but was killed in battle against the Parthian.
