Video info:
On our first stop on our tour of the historical and archaeological sites of Turkey we visit the ancient site of Mount Nemrut. Soaring 7,000 feet into the sky, this lofty mountain top is home to a mysterious and ancient ruin. A massive grave and cultic complex commissioned by the Persian and Greek leader Antiochus I. The tomb is flanked by enormous stone reliefs of gods that highlight a mix of influences that met in this area at the time showing Greek gods wearing Persian clothes.
The most striking feature of this site is the enormous burial mound. An unopened tomb that remains a mystery to archaeologists and historians alike.
Join me and my team as we work to uncover the secrets of the ancient temple of Mt. Nemrut.

I love the anti theft measures in that tomb. Most civilization would've buried it, put huge stone doors in an attempt to stop looters. These guys just went "p e b b l e", and it fucking worked amazingly.
@@djalexander968 Time and effort. You can't break in, steal something and get out. That's a massive pile of small rocks, you're gonna need a full team and a long time to clear that. Not to mention, the rocks you remove need a place to go. It's the kind of thing they're definitely going to notice before you're done. Given how an excavation team who had permission to do it, failed, there's no way a bunch of grave robbers can pull it off.
@@djalexander968I'd guess because the pebbles basically ARE the tomb complex. Most modern archeologists try to avoid destroying the buildings they're trying to learn from.
Hey, if you are not saved, and would like to be included in the rapture of the church. Believe that Jesus's death on the cross, was enough to pay for ALL your sins , yes ALL ,(past, present and future) That is what the Gospel is about. We are saved by GOD'S amazing grace, through our faith in Jesus's sinless life, death on the cross and resurrection 3 days later . No additional works needed. It is literally that simple. Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans 10:9-10 Romans 4:5
@@Jona7Fer hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
P.S. This is spam. Stop doing this. This is not what anyone meant when they said "spread the good word of God". Seriously, go ask your priest, or a monk, or someone like that. Ask them if they think what you're doing is _actually_ helping people, or if you're doing it to act pious. I think you already know the answer. This is not how serious people act or spend their time. 🙄
(even purely from a practical standpoint, you could help yourself by realizing that this is not a good use of your time or energy. Think about it: how often do YOU read a youtube comment, and then immediately become so enlightened that you proceed to change your entire religion and worldview? Never. Literally not once, because that's never happened in the history of the world. So maybe try "spreading the good word" another way that actually.. you know.. _does something?_ Or you could try *not* proselytizing all over the place, because if you actually _listened_ to other people, you'd know that non-christians *hate* when you guys do this crap. It pushes people *further away.* Maybe instead of being obnoxious, preachy, and condescending, y'all should try leading by example and actually being kind and loving [you know, like Jesus..?]. Idk.
Because right now, I can tell you that the reason most people don't want to be Christian.. is the Christians. It's due to the awful, immoral, detrimental way that [the most outspoken] Christians tend to act. They're hateful, cruel, authoritarian, and about as far from loving and kind as one can be. And they use God as a shield for all their wrongdoing, which is literally breaking the first commandment in the most literal sense). Now, I realize that you might not be one of those people. However, it's a safe bet that you don't call them out, and you still vote for the same people as them.. so you're part of the problem on some level. Do you remember that bible verse about removing the stick from your own eye before trying to help someone else? Yeah, you guys should probably re-read that one..)

When you announced fewer debunk videos I was disappointed, but you have managed to win me over. You take the same enthusiasm and comedy to the stuff you actually enjoy doing.
Debunking videos will grow a toxic audience. I think he made a good choice by choosing to teach rather than destroy.
You must be a bad judge of character or didn’t watch enough of his stuff to make him doing real work cause you to get nervous as to the potential level of entertainment. I love run on sentences f u
@@CharChar2121 Can only agree ! While debunking on some subjects from time to time may be ok, it's not still the right people that really would need them who will watch them anyway. Also all this debunk and reactions stuff becomes old quickly, and isn't constructive after all.
Videos like this one are more refreshing, and pleasant in my opinion.

Ah. The debunking vids were why I subbed. Looks like I don’t need to be, after all. Thanks for the heads up.
This is my new favorite channel - it's like a buddy touring me around all these sites I wanna go see but he knows way more about everything :) Thank u milo
Nice to see you here too
Hey cool to see you here!!!
i didn't expect to see you here
What the hell is he doing here
hello
As a geologist, I really do appreciate the work you've done, making our underappreciated little science entertaining and mainstream. I'm still kicking myself for missing the Turkey trip, but here's hoping there's another in the future.
Mount Nemrut will be there next year 😉And yes, this was very entertainingly done.
Geology isn't a little science
One day, it'll be vastly more important than it is now
There'll be exogeologists who are experts on different planets and their formation, for instance
You're just in the infancy
Man, geology rocks!
Do you really🤔
@@RandyBavender-xb2ir???
I'm actually glad to see more grass roots history being explored on sight with places like this. It's nice to see ancient history more digestible.
💪🏽💪🏽
Absolutely! What used to require a tv-budget and pro equipment can now be done by any guy with a plane ticket and a phone
Leads to a lot more amazing content
wait til you see the really old stuff most people miss lol
Weve been doing this for like 300 years bro. Where you been.
Nice exposition of the geology as well.
You deserve a comment for how incredibly you built up the height of the mountain, then revealed the stonework on top. I've climbed many mountains higher than this one but the idea of building at that altitude is 💀
Imagine how hellish *hauling* material all the way up there to build had to have been
Honestly when you get used to that for extended periods of time, it isn't all THAT bad, but it must have certainly be a challenge.
Just goes to show that people from antiquity were just as capable as we are, except instead of working with massive excavators and cranes, they were like:
"Yo Presmethotlep, i found a big stick!"
"F**K YEAH, _let's build a objectively too massive monument that will outlast literally everything alive right now a dozen times over."_
People from antiquity are the original gigachads.
@@Volvith I suspect he erred in saying 6000 feet (and above.) If he meant to say 6000+ meters, that is an altitude at which many people have died from HAPE and/or HACE. High Altitude Pulmonary Edema, and Cardio Edema. Even when they have taken extensive efforts to adapt to the altitude slowly it can still happen, to even very experienced people. Those efforts can reduce the risks, but not eliminate them entirely. There is still an element of chance.
It doesn't seem to me that this would only be 6000+ feet, but that is what he said. And if 6000+ is correct, then you are right. It isn't that big a deal.
@@cattymajiv You can very easily look up "Mount Nemrut" and see that it is 7000 ft high
@@cattymajivMount Nemrut is 7001ft, or 2134 meters
Laodice, a Parthian Queen, is also buried at Namrut - she was Antiochus's sister. Her husband was the King of Kings of Parthia when Rome was defeated at Carrhae. Thanks for exploring the site!
could this be her Tomb? or her husband, the King's?
She was of Greek and Iranian descent. Laodice was the first daughter born to King Antiochus I Theos of Commagene and Queen Isias Philostorgos.
Tremendous, I have always felt compelled to pursue knowledge and power in order to contribute to the betterment of humanity. Been seeking a means to be influential and find out more knowledge about the human race and about the things not everyone is destined to know. I wish to fulfill the goal of enlightenment passed down by our forebears~
I can totally relate to your passion, if all that is what you desire then i think it's achievable. Joining the Illuminatus Brotherhood can lead to the enlightenment you seek and more. I am well aware that the idea of this group may sound mythical but it is possible to join.
@@bartholetbay412 Hi, isn't the brotherhood a myth? I mean sometimes i just feel like it's just a conspiracy theory.
@@Margart526 Yeah I acknowledge that misunderstanding can occur when people encounter what they don't fully grasp, especially in this internet era. The Illuminatus advocates for the acceptance of all religions. You can look up "Anthony Szymon". Will give you clarity and answers to any questions you might have.
@@bartholetbay412 oh really, i just saw his website, which is interesting. I will leave him a message.
How noble of you
It's been genuinely awesome watching the production values of the videos steadily climbing with each release! Love to see that he's getting good money to do something he loves
For real. The educational entrepreneurship. 🎉
Dude does need a pop filter though lol
Perfectly symbolized by him climbing the mountain at the beginning
;) ...but we definitely need to crowdfund what we Germans affectionally call a "Puschelmikrophon" for his next excoursion!

This is such a good series so far. Can't wait to see even more.. Would love to see an egyptian or chinese one in the future! Especially with the discovery of the sinkhole ecosystems, it could be a fun thing to look at. But for now, I can't wait to see more episodes of this!
Well not to give any spoilers, but we already got another trip in the works!
H Y P E
YEAH, NEW TRIP!!!
@@miniminuteman773 woot woooot love it
@@miniminuteman773Please come here to Japan sometime. Lots of Jomon sites in my area.
It always saddens me to see such amazing art like those massive sculptures be in such disrepair from the hundreds of years of wear, makes you wonder how amazing they looked before the damage and especially before the decapitations. They still look really neat though, even if time hasn't been very kind to them
I get what you mean but I also find a certain beauty in the decay itself
As a turkish guy thanks for representing Turkiye this good i love the production cant wait to see other sites
Milo saying “no shade lots of wind” RIGHT after throwing more shade than that mountain has ever known.
Love you and this channel Milo
I was down here to say exactly that, but decided to CTRL-F first. :)
@@CineSoar oh wow, i never knew you could do that! thanks!
@@Ai-denied What on earth does that even mean? If you have a minute, please explain, just super briefly. Thank you so much!
on PC you can search for words with that shortcut
Seeing Milo on location in old ruins like this is a really great contrast from his videos in front of a chalkboard. Nice seeing him immersing in his passion.
He is become Indiana Jones
100% out in the universe to shine.
can we get some appreciation for the editing in this video? it feels like a legitimate documentary.
Milo is the greatest archaeology educator you found outside of a university from the past who KNOWS how many decades. Soooooo good. Keep doing what you’re doing, man, you’re amazing
Sooooo excited, I've been checking every day since you announced this series. Can't wait to see what you've got to show us!
Content is great Milo and good on you for doing what you can to preserve the human story for future generations. I can't exactly see myself being able to rough it out and climb 2 kilometers up a mountain like you have.
I love everything about this series. From the heart-wrenching footage of the earthquake, to the relief efforts funded entirely by generous and kind people, to the diving into the history and archaeology of the area. Thank you so much for sharing this
The true joy in your voice as you approach the site is adorable! Nothing better than watching people doing what they love!
Everyone's already commenting on the awesome quality of this video, your narration, the filmmaking, and the account of the site, so I'm going to comment on how flattering that scarf is lol
Have been waiting eagerly for the Turkey series and missed the earthquake video, so binging them back to back!
I think his hair is just magnificent, so I wish he didn't hide it! Each to their own preferences though. Cheers to you!
This is already better than most of the documents on streaming services
AND IT IS FOR FREE
bless you Milo never stop what you are doing
I didn’t think I would like this content as much as your reaction content but wow it’s so much better. Your passion and seeing the sight in person is so incredible to see.
So refreshing to have a kind young man as host. Nimrud is so much more to me after watching this thank u 😊
I think most audio editing software has some way of reducing wind noise - unless it was so windy that this is what it sounded like AFTER reducing wind noise
Can't wait for the: Howdy friends, my name is Milo and welcome to Gobleki teppe.
Edit: I'm not sure how you spell that but you guys got it😅
Close enough! It's Göbekli tepe and ö is 'ea' sound you make when you say 'earn' 😊
I had to Google it, but you were way closer than me. You have all the letters and one extra in Tepe
Milo's energy & enthusiasm are contagious!! Can't help but smile!!
I can’t wait to see more content like this. The detail put into the writing and editing made this feel like an actual documentary, that coupled with Milo’s enthusiasm made this so fun
When I saw the detail on King Antioch's hat, I felt a shiver. To think of human hands carving it so incredibly long ago!
Milo, you need a netflix series dude. these videos are so good and informative. wish they were a little bit longer tho.
I wish Milo all the success in the world but selfishly I like how raw this is. He gets to say what he wants with zero corporate filter.
Especially if it's him dragging Graham Hancock around different archeogical sites and explaining that they aren't Atlantis.
Thank you for sharing this journey.Ancient Anatolia is the birthplace of the Armenians and the deities they honored. There are many parallels of the Gods, Aramazd with Zeus, Anahit with Artemis, Vahagn with Heracles, Astłik with Aphrodite, Nane with Athena, Mihr with Hephaestus, Tir with Apollo. Where it all began goes way back, and the Tepe observatories and fertility sites are clues to a great genesis of consciousness.
İsa ya inanışınız aldanış mıydı, bu kadar tanrıya ihtiyaç var mıydı ...
@@SonsuzNefer
This place was built before the Abrahamic religions, polytheism was normal throughout the world. Or did you just get bitter because Armenians were mentioned?
@@SonsuzNefer Least ret@rdo inbreed Buslim
Ok but can we stop calling eastern turkey “anatolia” anatolia is the peninsula. Just say eastern turkey (or armenian highlands when fitting, ofcourse not all of it is armenian highlands) In this vid he kept saying “greek, persian and anatolian influences” but anatolia is not a country or culture, he should have said armenian but the turks would have probably been to butthurt.
Btw aramazd and anahit come from the persian Ahura-Mazda and Anahita. Armenia addopted zoroastrism when they became a vassal under the rule of Cyrus. So a few centuries before the greek influences where brought in by Alexander. Before the conquest by cyrus they had other names for their gods but I forgot
I could watch you tour and explain ancient sites all day long. Excellent work!
I've been so excited and like... giddy this entire video. I'm so happy and proud of Milo for being able to take this trip AND show it to all of us so beautifully. I am so excited to see what Milo makes next. This is absolutely my favorite channel. The enthusiasm, humor, and densely packed education makes me slightly addicted to this type of content LMAO. Thank you so much Milo and all of the people that help make these videos possible!!
Dude, you are on fire right now, with all these sick videos!
Thanks so much dude! Couldn’t do it without such a great team.
I've been watching this channel since just a little before Milo "stepped up" his game and unleashed the chalkboard on us. I have to say it's been incredibly satisfying to observe his early trajectory towards what can only assume will be archaeology superstardom.
Nice work Milo :)
@@WSEightyFour I hope you're right. This channel has a lot of potential!
Your content always gets more gripping every video and your humor never fails to get a chuckle out of me
in location videos are so cool and i’m so happy you got do see this and shared it with us!
13:04 "No shade and a lot of wind. Let's keep moving." Except that shade you just threw Graham Hancock's way about stars. :)
Absolutely love that this series is going to be milo geeking out about things he loves and helping the people who live in the area
IKRRR it's genuinely the most endearing thing ever. i love seeing someone genuinely enjoy what they're doing it gives them so much more charm
Passed over this video the first time I saw it thinking you were just talking about the tomb. Amazed to see you go from TT to Turkey!
As someone who has always been fascinated by history, art, and archeology-thank you so much for making these videos on site! Its like being able to be there alongside you and actually experience the sites!
I just want to appreciate the funny bits you kept in there, those are really important to me. You managed to combine a documentary-like style with your usual casual wittiness really well
Hey man, just wanted to say that I'm loving all the videos you've been putting out. I originally found the channel when recommended one of your "ancient apocalypse" videos, and I've been a massive fan ever since. Keep up the great work, and can't wait to see what you make next
Fascinating episode! Thank you for sharing so much history and archaeology with us.
I just started watching your videos yesterday, and i appreciate the humor and diligence you put into this stuff. I I'm didn't know I'd be this interested in archeology.
Seeing someone so genuinely excited to talk about this stuff makes my heart so happy! Also thank you for those captions! I am growing hard of hearing and its super helpful
I have been waiting for these to start! Your joy in what you are doing shows, Milo. Thank you for sharing and educating those of us who will probably never get there.
Thank you I am fascinated with turkey and I just heard about this mountain I don't know how I missed it but I'm glad that it's you educating me I can't wait to see this in person
I have always enjoyed your CZcams shorts and didn't even know about your vast knowledge of ancient sites and your international travels! Great job! Thanks! Keep up the good work!
This channel is highly underrated still. Amazing that you managed to get to almost a million subscribers already, but you have so much more potential.
I'm betting you'll be steadily climbing to 5, maybe 7 million subscribers before it stabilizes.
I've seen channels take 5 years to get to this level. And while they may still be ahead a bit you will have no trouble catching up.
Excellent video!! I’m loving the content and am looking forward to seeing more 😊 Thank you for bringing us along for your trip to Turkey.. so interesting! 😊
Wow I just want to say, I’ve been watching your YT since early on, but had to stop for a bit, and coming back to see the major upgrades to the videos now is so cool!
Been watching you since the beginnings and the amount you improved is astonishing, from editing to presentation, in basically everything. Hope you become a cornestone of educational youtube content.
YASS Milo loving this content, great to see you out in the wild and being able to discuss this on site. Your black board videos are awesome too, this just has a bit of a different feel to those videos and I like it :) keep up the excellent work. I really enjoy learning from you. Thank you for your fun and informative videos.
Now THIS is professional work. Milo and crew doing the best work possible
Hi Milo! I'm a long time viewer, and I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your content. Keep up the great work good sir!
The energy that your videos have make it so much easier to learn from you than from more strictly educational stuff and I really appreciate that
So proud of you, bud! I can’t wait to see where your dedication and hard work takes you in coming years.
Nice almost 20 minutes video. The wind definitely made me feel I was in Turkey
Imagine my surprise when one of my favourite channels shows up as a required video for my undergrad archeology course! Having already binged this series, I was so excited when we started talking about Gobekli Tepe last week in class, but I guess I've just gotta watch it all again now that my professor has required your content for lectures. welp, what can you do?
Fascinating! Thank you for that tour.
Such an interesting point about iconoclasm! Another example: what Soviet Russia did with the cultures in the countries they occupied. I'm from Latvia and we've lost countless artefacts, pagan religious traditions, and countless everyday traditions from our ancestors. I'm sure it's similar in other Soviet occupied countries as well.
Hi Milo. Would you consider doing a video on Cyprus’s archeological sites and their significance? I am of Cypriot descent and remember going to Amathus and Kourion when I was too young to appreciate being there. I know Cyprus has a long history due to being rich in copper, strategically located and religiously important as the birthplace of Aphrodite. Would you school us please?
Congratulations on publishing your first book. Can't wait to check it out.
So close to a million subscribers, Your channel has absolutely exploded and you deserve every bit of it!
I'm loving the new intro to the series!! Super slick and also very useful for neurodivergent folks like me who have trouble thinking of periods of history in relation to one another
Interesting, I live on an Island where the neighboring island's peak is 2351 Meters, or 7,713 feet. Just slightly higher than this mountain, seeing how your view is I think I also have to finally scale that mountain, it doesn't have stairs though, it's a bit rougher.
One of my favorite channels by far. Keep up the fantastic work man!
Every time I come back to your channel the production value goes up. Doing damn well man, and thank you for teaching us all so much.
I'm really excited for the rest of this series. I very much enjoy the way you describe things and then go into the history of them. The Leo statue was my favorite part due to how beautiful its construction is. As the areas around the Mediterranean and Near East have my favorite history and culture, I'm thrilled to think that you'll have more content revolving around Turkey and the ancient history of humanity that comes with it. Keep up the wonderful work on educating the masses and demonstrating how fascinating our species's story is
The I in Türkiye has to be capitalized as well such as TÜRKİYE.
Super cool! Glad i found the shorts which led me to this channel!
I just simply love watching your channel grew. Your a good egg and I love watching your content and how informative it is.
GG mate.
Nice! I doubt you'll see this, but did you visit Hatussa while you were there? It's honestly one of the best preserved and most enlightening surviving sites of the middle bronze-age, but nobody on youtube seems to have made much of anything about it
Cant wait!!!!!
I love this, fantastic historical content. I have always wanted to travel and visit ancient sites and learn about their cultural significance, someday I'll get there but for now this will do!
Just wanna say ur passion for this and ur content is contagious man. Appreciate this video
I hope at some point Milo gets to create his own docuseries! I would absolutely love to see that. An hour an episode series would be very appreciated!
So glad you talked about that corrugated metal building. Betty and I were standing in front of it trying to figure out what it was, it looks like it should be a disused chair lift or something. We were even looking out to see if we could see where it used to go.
Production valide is on point! Great and fascinating video! Thank you milo
This video is such a step up in video quality and complexity
Good job!
I love the way you break down every single arqueological site. I went to Mount Nemrut back in 2020, and it was an outstanding experience. Watching this video made me feel as if I would've gone back in time. Thank you for such a nice video.
The Nemrut Experience: "It's fuggin wimbdy"
Wowza. Quite the upgrade going on for you. Good job!
The quality of the video is amazing! Keep up the great work
Hey bud, im so happy that you are in Turkey, educating us as to the wonderful civilizations that inhabited it in the distant past. From the oldest (the Tepe's) to the later Mitanni and hopefuly you show some love to cappadocia and the anthill underground palaces. Turkey is a mysterious and wonderful place, rich in history. I hope you had a blast filming and seeing these awesome places!!!
Rode’s Lavalier comes with a fur windjammer, might be a worthwhile investment.
This is a delight and I really look forward to learning about these sites with you!
Your energy and enthusiasm is infectious :) thank you for sharing your exploits.
This is going to be so confusing. My brain won’t be able to handle it
Well goodness I hope it’s not confusing! I wouldn’t be doing my job that well if it was.
This production quality is on the same level as the documentaries I always watch on cable. You’re giving Discovery Channel and History Channel a run for their money!
Edit: I pre-ordered your book and I can’t wait until I get to get my hands on it!
Lets not insult Milo with comparisons to Discovery Channel and History Channel
@@loganbender1562 I forgot to add in what I was originally going to say about how he has better information before I went to order his book
I don't think anyone appreciates that his intro shot is actually accurate to the time period he's talking about and not just a re-run of an old intro w/ a different date over it..... Way better than most History Channel intros. 😁👍
Love this I have often wondered about this site very interesting and informative! Would love to see more videos like this.
This is why youtube is better than TV programs
Haven't heard about this site, it's absolutely amazing! 😮
The fact that it's located in such a close proximity to Tiger and Euphrates rivers, the statues and especially the mysterious and inaccessible burial chamber blow my mind
Thank you sharing this wonderful site, I love learning about things like this, and have a hard time finding knowledgeable and genuine documentaries these days. Thank you so much for sharing!!
i nearly scrolled past bc my thinking was "I'm too tired to learn about this stuff" then I remembered how Milo freaking nails every script. The presentation style is kicka5s. Thanks for making this stuff palatable - engaging, even - for non-dusty nerds.
I am thoroughly impressed with this series so far! Amazing quality while retaining that characteristic Milo charm. I could imagine watching this in a world history class taught by a particularly cool teacher lol
It's somewhat interesting that they would chose to position Heracles, a demigod, at the far flank of the assembly, in the opposite position of Antiochus I, himself. I would surmise, and it's just a somewhat educated guess, that that's Antiochus attempting to ensure everyone that he was a demigod of identical stature to Heracles.
Loving it Miles Rossi🎉super interesting, going to this mountain this weekend and you have told me everything I need to know about the site.
Outstanding! As always ❤️
