Karakuş means “black bird”. The monument received this name because there is a column topped by an eagle. It is located 12 kilometres from Kâhta, Turkey. The tumulus is surrounded by groups of three Doric columns, each about 9 metres high. The columns are topped with steles, reliefs and statues of a bull, lion and eagle. An inscription indicates the presence of a royal tom that housed three women.

The Severan Bridge (Turkish: Cendere Köprüsü) is a late Roman bridge located near the ancient city of Arsameia (today Eskikale), 55 km north east of Adıyaman in southeastern Turkey. It spans the Cendere Çayı (Chabinas Creek), a tributary of Kâhta Creek, on provincial road 02-03 from Kâhta to Sincik in Adıyaman Province.

At the foot of this ancient city there is a magnificent relief representing Heracles (or maybe Artagnes, a Persian deity whom the Greeks identified with Heracles) shaking hands with King Mithridates of Commagene from around 50 BC and next to it is located the greatest Greek inscription of Anatolia.

Mount Nemrut - Visit Nemrut or Nemrud is a 2,134-metre-high mountain in southeastern Turkey, notable for the summit where a number of large statues are erected around what is assumed to be a royal tomb from the 1st century BC. It is one of the highest peaks in the east of the Taurus Mountains.
The mountain lies 40 km north of Kahta, near Adıyaman. In 62 BCE, King Antiochus I Theos of Commagene built on the mountain top a tomb-sanctuary flanked by huge statues 8–9-metre high of himself, two lions, two eagles and various Greek, Armenian, and Iranian gods, such as Heracles-Artagnes-Ares, Zeus-Oromasdes, and Apollo-Mithras-Helios-Hermes.These statues were once seated, with names of each god inscribed on them. The heads of the statues at some stage have been removed from their bodies, and they are now scattered throughout the site.

Wonderful nemrut tour - Fabulous Nemrut tour. They picked us up from our hotel at 07:00 in the morning from Istanbul and we went to the airport and then we flew to Adıyaman. Everything was arranged very professionally, we did our tour of Nemrut and ate the local dishes of the region, it was very delicious. It has been an incredible experience for us. I would like to thank the manager of the agency, Mr. Hüseyin, who constantly called and asked while we were visiting, for his interest.
