The Ancient Aliens Of Mount Nemrut

MYSTERIOUS PLACES - In present-day South-East Turkey, on Mount Nemrut, there are mysterious ruins of an ancient society. Archeologists have established that these structures must have been built by King Antiochus I, who lived in the first century BC and ruled the hellenistic kingdom of Commagene.

The most remarkable feature of the Mount Nemrut site are the giant stone heads of ancient gods and a what is thought to be the king. The stone heads now look like they have been chopped off and put on the ground, but they were probably part of a pantheon. Another phenomenon at Mount Nemrut is a 150 feet high and 500 feet wide conical peek, made of limestone rocks. It is said to be the king's tomb, although no grave has ever been found there.

For many centuries, this region was part of Mesopotamian culture and the mysterious kingdom of Urartu, which was destroyed by invading Arian tribes like the Scythians, Medes and Proto-Armenian speaking tribes. It is well known that these ancient civilizations had remarkable knowledge of the stars and constellations. At Mount Nemrut, the same knowledge is evident. Figures on the site, for example a lion with a star constellation on its body, suggest that the builders knew what they were doing.

These phenomena are explained by saying that a first-century BC king had deep knowledge of these ancient cultures. The king supposedly was in contact with eastern priests who posessed secret knowledge about the stars written on hidden Sumerian clay tablets. He called himself 'Theos' or 'God' for creating the site and a new local cult or religion. The king depicted himself among the gods and shaking hands with them.

In fact it was (and is) not uncommon for later rulers to claim ownership of the remains of older, ancient cultures. How could one king have built all of the structures on Mount Nemrut in a short period of time, and why in such a difficult, high place? It is more likely that the structures are much older, from Sumerian or Urartian times, or even older than that. In those ancient times, it is thought that aliens helped build such sites with advanced techniques.

There are caves or tunnels on the Mount Nemrut site, that seem to have no purpose but to allow the sun rays to shine straight through at specific moments. Could there have been a stargate? Was Mount Nemrut a hub for space travellers? If so, the ancient builders must have left in the same way, and that is the reason why there is no graves.The following post was originally posted at Ancient World Mysteries Follow Ancient Visitors on Twitter and Google+ Join our Community Crop Circles
