About this episode
Mount Nemrut - a mysterious sky-scraping monument perched high in the Taurus mountains of southeastern Turkey. Giant decapitated statues surround an enormous man-made mountain summit.

Today, archaeologists decode ancient inscriptions to discover
the purpose of this bizarre megastructure, and reveal the identity of the King who ordered its construction.
We finally uncover how the ancients build this engineering marvel… and reveal the reasons for its destruction.
