Nemrut From The Air

With the publication in August 2000 of Nemrut from the Air and Zeugma from the Air, Archaeology and Art Publications launched a new series of photo albums devoted to aerial views of Turkeys landscapes, cityscapes, and cultural heritage sites.

Full-color aerial photographs of Mount Nemrut and a statue-by-statue description of King Antiochus of Commegenes royal sanctuary atop the mountains summit make Nemrut from the Air a unique and informative guide to one of Turkeys most famous monuments. Likewise, Zeugma from the Airs birds-eye views of 11 ancient Zeugma and its surroundings offer an exceptional pictorial record of this renowned archaeological site which is now almost completely submerged in the reservoir of the Birecik Dam.
