In August 2014, The
Hurriyet Daily News came with the news that copies of the oversized statues
on Mount
Nemrud will be made to be exhibited in a panoramic museum to be
built in Adiyaman. The underlying
idea is to preserve these precious sculptures should they disappear due to the
severe weather conditions on top of this mountain. To me, it would make more
sense to transfer the originals and put copies out there, but then the material is terribly heavy and there is no access road to the top.
In fact, they are impossible to move.
The new Adiyaman
Panorama and Archaeology Museum will reflect the heritage site as if the
visitor stands on top of the mountain. An ambitious project but in my eyes
nothing will equal the absolute fascination and unique feeling any visitor will
experience standing there on top of the world, i.e. on Mount
Nemrud.
