The mountaintop of toppled gods

The ruins on Mount Nemrut depict a gaggle of gods from both Greek and Persian traditions, plus a few deities King Antiochus I made up himself. The range of faiths represented in the statues found near the 7,000ft (2,134m) summit reflects Turkey's long history as a crossroads of cultures. Today, the derelict statues are protected as a Unesco World Heritage Site.
