Touring Turkey / Nemrut:


" Be aware " he says,
" I may be sleeping on this side but heeyyyy hear me Mesopotamia...
the land of sun,
the land of betrayals,
the land of no limits...
I am watching you...
Be aware Mesopotamia...
My eternal agreement with Gods continue for both sides.
I, the ruler of everything around you,
say;
look to see...
listen to hear...
me coming back!
"

2000 years ago, the Commagenian King; ruler of both sides of Mesopotamia, orders his men to built a tumulus; 50 meters tall, 150 meters in diameter / sitting on a 2000 meters mountain, having full control on his land.
Even today, the only thing which spoils his land is a dark-black-ugly oil pump.
What can we say... we need oil
... do we not !
