Pyramids in Turkey

Mt Nemrut, Kahta is a natural mountain (2150m), with a 50 metre artificial peak built on top. It was constructed as a tomb for King Antinochus I during the period 80 B.C-72 B.C. If pyramids are meant to represent mountains, the builders of this one have gone a step further by placing it on top of a real mountain. Not just an artificial mound, this site features huge (10 metre high) statues.
