A Giant Door In The Sky: 5 Unexplained Ancient Structures Built Above

- Located in the rugged terrains of southeastern Turkey, Mount Nemrut soars to a height of seven thousand feet, and its peak is home to a trove of colossal stone statues-- some of the most mysterious erected in ancient times.
The statues are believed to stand guard over the royal tomb of King Antiochus I of Commagene, whose burial dates back to the first century BC.
But was a king really buried in this place?
King Antiochus I, who ruled the Kingdom of Commagene from 70 BC to 36 BC, hailed from a lineage blending Greek and Persian roots. He claimed descent from Alexander the Great through his mother and Persian King Darius the Great through his father.
Antiochus had a firm belief in the gods and a strong connection to religious customs. In 62 BC, he commissioned the construction of a sanctuary adorned with towering statues, their heads alone measuring nearly 7 feet in height. The statues were envisioned as guardians for his tomb, and the grandeur of this site was designed to immortalize and deify him.
A monumental mound at the summit is believed to cover the tomb of King Antiochus. It consists of broken rock and spans a diameter of 475 feet, featuring two terraces.
Each terrace showcases a row of diverse statues, embodying Antiochus's reverence for Greek and Persian-Anatolian religions. These statues depict Greek gods like Zeus and Apollo alongside Eastern counterparts like Oromasdes [Oh-roh-MAZ-dees] and Mithras.
Lion and eagle statues flank each row, symbolizing royal authority and divine guardianship. Finally, there is a statue of the king himself.
On the western terrace, a lion statue is set amidst a celestial arrangement, representing Jupiter, Mercury, and Mars. It's believed to depict the sky on July 7th, 62 BC, potentially marking the sanctuary's construction date.
The site has been said to have been the space for ceremonies linked to the astronomical and religious nature of the statues.
What meaning is to be conveyed by such astronomical structures in a tomb intended to be the place of worship of a king?
Antiochus had a strong interest in astronomy, particularly of an esoteric nature. This interest led him to initiate a reform of the calendar system. He aligned the Commagene year, which was based on the movements of the sun and the moon, to the Stars of Sirius and Orion, known to be the basis of the Egyptian calendar.
Before the king departed this world, he instructed his people to carry out celebrations and festivities every year after his death. Priests assigned by the king made offerings and sacrifices to honor him.
However, this place fell into oblivion as the centuries passed. It was not until 1883 that German archaeologists rediscovered it for the modern world.
In the twentieth century, subsequent excavations were carried out, but the tomb of the king has never been found. Nevertheless, this mountaintop site is still believed to be the place of his burial.
The sanctuary, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, continues to lure the curious and the scholarly, its stone sentinels silently guarding the mysteries of a king's eternal repose...

Intro is back... for now. You better hit that thumbs-up button 👀
I did and thanks for the best content on the Tube.
😂
Why was it gone? Was a copyright thing or something?
Thank You
Yes sir!
No homo😂 ,dudes got an easy voice to listen to
🎶
Hell yeah!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Check out the UFO about 5.40. Some new ones here well done..
The one with the carved door - it would have helped to get some measurements, and you say it’s a cube shaped tomb but there’s no vision of this. How to you get inside?
😊The intro!
I want to adventure out to see all these places and expand my knowledge of where and what we as humans are
Do a video on the enigmatic “Kanawha Madonna” a
Wooden statue found in a cave and over 500 years old of a Caucasian man holding a lamb.
I always find ancient North American mysteries particularly intriguing. I'll add it to my research list...
I googled this and don’t know how you identified it as a Caucasian man, or the animal it is holding as a lamb
@@jandrews6254 it is stated that way in the museum in Charleston WV and published in the Wonderful West Virginia magazine. Now I cited you two sources.
@AppalachianHistoryDetectives
I just looked at the statue.
Theres no way to identify any ethnicity of it. It is just a simple (most likely male due to build) human figure with no identifying features whatsoever holding a small 4 legged animal also with very few identifying features.
And sorry, but what museum exactly? Some museums are more reputable than others. And what was the reason they thought it was a caucasian when it was probably just a statue local indigenous people carved?
@@childofcascadia sure. It is at the West Virginia Cultural Museum on the first floor. For decades it was published it was suspected to be a Caucasian (the hair style) and a lamb (based on the groves of the body) and brought here by immigrants from Ireland. This was published findings for many years....but over the last 10 or so, it became controversial due to the testing age of the wood and trying to explain what the piece is. Some surmised it was part of the Lost Irish Priest since there are Runes not far from it in Kentucky, also controversial. Rather than getting caught up in the controversy, they changed it to unknown animal and unknown figure.
This channel is great for showing me just how limited my knowledge of the world is. And it does it in a really cool way,
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE INTRO BACK
Yea but what’s behind the door? Tf?
A goat.
@@sonicplanet9193 A Djinn
Looks like something from "The Hobbit",the back door of Smaug's cave. Beware the dragon!

Love your content really wish your videos were 30-60 mins long on all your channels. Would watch every single second. Keep the great content coming please
Anyone else see the UAP at 5:42? 🤯
Good eye
Yeah, i did!
🦅
Bird. Zoom in
I mean... Thats a UFO right? What are the odds...
Going on up to the giant ancient door in the sky
Could you imagine saying something about who the king married and getting executed for it? Oh yea…that’s Russia!😂
Southeastern Turkey?
For a person, such as I, inhibited in geography, it's difficult for me to tell if it is indeed Turkey, and not a grand piece of AI.
I do appreciate the Bible references.
At 5:41 into video to the right there's something that looks like a UFO when you zoom in on it. Does anyone else notice that thing hovering in the sky
Yeah, I see it. What a trip, it could bean ET visiting tourist. Very cool. Good eye!
Yes, I dit notice it to.
Yeah seen it a floating pyramid??😅😅
It’s a helicopter…
Nah, no way. It's a Bird flying right to left... @@actualangel5133
Hello. Regarding the caves in Mustang and the skeletons therein. It is most likely that the bones belong to the Yogi- who used the eve as a meditation retreat. Their body offered as a sky burial after they "passed". The remains then being returned back to their meditation cave. "Bon" is actually a blanket term like "dharma" that can - and does - refer to several different - ancient- religious traditions from east Asia- tazig- areas of what is now Turkey- the Whole Tibetan plateau. "Yungdrung Bon" - are the indigenous Teachings of Buddha Tonpa Shenrab. What is commonly known as "Tibetan Buddhism" - (Not Yungdrung Bon) - Is essentially Indian Buddhism- Buddha Shakyamuni - fused together with the pre- existing "Bon"- --- only "Yungdrung Bon" tradition that dates back, according to the texts - 17,000 years.
Thanks! That's great info!
I miss the intro so much..always gives me the chills..PLEASE bring it back..been watching for years..good stuff!!
Wtf is this commentary? Dude's whispering in his basement so he doesn't wake up his mom LOL
I dont feel you explained enough about the door in the mountain in Turkey. Ikeazios. How did they get in and out of the tomb? Through the sides? No images from inside the tomb?
Yes, agree... and too much psychobabble amongst the facts and info, which are good, and so the extra word salad is just not necessary....
I think it was a work in progress hence the two places where its still attached to the surrounding rock , for what ever reason it was never completed .
Can't explain what you don't know.
@@nicklauschristofonoXXII You don’t say….Interesting.
Turkey has the most incredible ancient buildings. It is a true testament to Islam.
5:41 UFO?
It's a fucking bird.
You need glasses, its a bird XD
"10:10" there is another UFO
5:40 what is floating in the sky to the right.
Think of an animal that can fly, has feathers, two legs and lays eggs. Are you thinking of a bird? Well done, now you know what's flying.
Gates in the side of a mountain ? That can only mean one thing ........DWARVES !
It's gimmli himself hahaa
WE LOVE THE INTRO!!!!!!!!!!😊
The Tomb of 'IKEZIOS' seems unfinished, can you enter, what was inside ?
Ike- (Ικε): This part might be related to the Greek word "ίκετης" (iketes), which means "suppliant" or "one who entreats." This term is often associated with individuals who seek refuge or assistance, especially in a religious or sacred context.
INTRO!! INTRO!! IIIIIIINNNNTTRROOO!!! WOOO!!
@ 5 minutes 40 seconds, is that a UFO flying on the right side of the picture?
Doesn't the still at 2:02 remind you of a chess setup? Not the right amount, but still..
So... at first it didn't bother me that you took out the intro... but I will say that I'm glad it's back!
I love reading and watching anything do to Ancient times
Airship hanger.
So obvious to anyone that cares to remember.
Love that creepy intro back in 2015 lol
thats not in the sky its in a rock
Glad to see the intro again.
Do one on the past reset man. 😁
That first one, the mountain looks like a rubble pile. If his tomb is there it’s at the bottom of that pile.
Experts? Lmfao. There are no experts.
An expert is a former drop.😅
What's with this fast spoken , unclear narration ?
I enjoy some of the videos but why does the narrator talk like he’s being forced to speak at gun point!
Probably is never know hahaga
Brilliant, very interesting!
👍👍
starting at 5:41- is that a UFO?
If you can't see it's a bird, then it is, to you.
You genuinely can't tell that's a fucking bird?
This channel just came home from a dentist appointment.
Honestly, the only channel on UA-cam I can't miss any video updates on! Long time fan, see you when we're 80 😎
Haven’t you been watching we’re not going to make it to 80😂
Sometimes I doubt extremely stupid people exist, then I realise people mistake a very clear bird for a UFO and I weep for humanity
Good video ji ❤HD video
5:44 UFO in the right of the image, makes this a special picture. I wonder what it's doing there?
Glad you noticed as well
Zoom in. It's a bird.
It's a fucking bird
whats wrong with his voice , sounds very odd
Literally, none of these are unexplained.
What is that small, silver object at the screen's far right, half way up, at 5:38? If a street lamp, its post and wires are not visible. Looks like an often-photographed UFO, or "UAP", as the U.S. Navy refers to such sightings. Reaction, anyone?
Bird
Excellent video. Subscribed immediately.
800 playa...
And many more to come;)
Thanks Dark.
Boss Narration, content & publicity! 🤘😝✌️💯
Thank the lord the intro is back! ❤️
Breathy..melodramatic...cheesey...oh my
Absolute badass job 😂❤❤❤
Mt. Nemrut statues correspond with chess pieces. And the mountain looks like an obvious ancient pyramid. Same for the Mustang Caves, and the Kapilikaya Rock Tomb. It’s all ancient pyramids.
5:40 ....bro, THERE IS a FrEaKiNg UFO iN tHe PiCtUrE!!!!!! To the right, about mid screen. 😮😮😮😮😮 WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUUUUUUUUUUUKKK
Have you ever considered setting up one of those 24/7 livestreams for your channel that cycles through your videos? I think that would be pretty popular on your main Dark5 channel.
I thought it was pronounced like Antioch California, but I looked it up, and I was wrong! You are pronouncing it correctly. Howzabout dem apples, huh?
Kuelap was built by Kelts-Carthagineans-Baleares. They built the same castro-style huts like the keltic Galicians and had the typical slingshots like the Baleares. Spanish conquistadores has still seen many of this blonde and red-haired 'Warriors of the clouds' (chachapoyas) and written it down in their chroniques.
The german culture scientist and author Hans Giffhorn wrote 2 books about his research on this european emigrants fleeing from the expanding roman empire: "Wurde Amerika in der Antike entdeckt", 2 Vol. (Was America discovered in ancient times).
Them: "Pyramids were obviously built with ropes, rollers, pulleys, and slave."
Also Them: "The sphinx too... because we said so. Ignore that water erosion."
Me: "Explain all 5 of these then... how many ropes or pulleys did this take?"
first
Solid!
Top KEK!
Peace be with you.
SO much happened long long time ago. Why bother with making steps for a Tomb?
No entering behind "Door"? More like a worship place to leave a gift.
It's kind of weird that Jesus can bring back some random dude named Lazarus, but can't bring back John the Baptist who was actually going around doing good.😂
(And we actually know about)
Thumbs up for the intro!
any day is a good day with Dark5 ❤
Slow down. Please. Take a little more time. Forgive the suggestion. It's just that the information is of such importance, it should not be rushed. Ty.
Click Bait👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Another great video - thanks for sharing.
H. Zues Lucifarios Christos Greek God King of Kings.
Flavius the L. Josephus.
Video is great ! but the narration ???? Do get someone who has more experience ! Ruins the nice video. stopped watching halfway,
@Dark5AncientMysteries ive got a question ive been meaning on asking for around 3 years now please respond!! 🙇 please
Excellent many photos you see on other channels now have a location 👏👏👏🍻
Sorry but I just couldn't listen to the narrator. I made it through the first 4 minutes though. Maybe I'll go back and watch it without the volume. ✌
Perfect timing!!😊
between 5 min's 38 secs and 5m 44sec in the Machaerus short, There's a UFO at 3 o'clock position in the shot.
John the Baptist was the cousin of Jesus, and Jesus declared John the Baptist as the greatest man born of woman that ever lived.
Oh no, they made statues out of stone?! How mysterious and unknown! Everyone knows no human could ever make statues out of... stone... ?
Rio de Janeiro has a similar Kapilikaia Rock tomb.
Those 5 at 1430 look like the statues of Easter island
Protection for a population from a biblical flood? Ancient Astronomers could predict a falling meteorite and took preventing measures just in case?
Anybody think about looking under that giant pile of roch behind statues on mount nemrut for the kings tomb, that would be apparently a logical place to look 😮😊
This channel just repeats it's own videos. New videos are nothing but compilations of old videos
I *thumbs up* cuz of intro....
5.41 In The sky wondering what he's caught on camera? Ufo or bird?

@@StuSaville swamp gas
@@Heavilymoderatedyou gotta majorly mentally handicapped to look at a bird and see a fucking UFO. Please never reproduce.
your speech pattern is so intense in this video, or is it just me
Wup, wup! The intro music is back.
y'all hit me with something i've never seen every. single. time. great writing....keep it up. 👊👊
The amount of stuff on our own home planet that we either don’t know what it is or how it got there or both is crazy
That is a worship place. all high places of old were pagan god worship and sacrifice. There is only one God, and one way to him, Yeshua.
UFO at 05:40
Don't you feel sorry for John the Baptist ? Dang how cruel , guess he should not have said anything 😳😔
Kuelap has suffered damage to portions of its walls in recent years due to erosion.
You can only see what the controller s let you see never forget that , or if not go the the artic and investigate that 😂😂 ? YOU CANT 😅😅😅.
