EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the awe-inspiring Stone Heads of Gods, located on Mt. Nemrut Dagi in Turkey. Standing tall and proud at the summit, these ancient stone carvings are a testament to the rich cultural heritage and religious significance of this region. As you gaze upon this image, you can't help but marvel at the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into creating these monumental statues. Each head represents a different deity from Greek and Persian mythology, including Zeus himself. It is believed that these colossal sculptures were erected by King Antiochus I Theos of Commagene around 62 BC as a way to showcase his divine lineage. The rocky terrain surrounding the stone heads adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. As one of Turkey's most captivating tourist attractions, Mt. Nemrut Dagi has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its historical importance. Photographer Tom Mackie has expertly captured not only the physical beauty of these ancient ruins but also their spiritual essence. The play between light and shadow creates an ethereal atmosphere that transports viewers back in time, allowing them to connect with centuries-old beliefs and traditions. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by history, this print will make for a striking addition to any collection. Let it transport you to another era where gods roamed among mortals atop majestic mountains like Mt. Nemrut Dagi in Turkey
