Throughout the night, the mountain remains cloaked in darkness and cool air, wrapped in deep silence. As dawn approaches, a soft crimson light begins to paint the eastern horizon. Gradually, shades of orange and gold spread across the sky, casting their glow on the colossal statues of King Antiochos of Commagene—bringing an ancient shimmer to their stone-carved faces. As the sun slowly rises above the horizon, the statues cast long shadows behind them, and warmth begins to touch the cold surfaces of the stone. A gentle breeze stirs, blending with the deep silence of nature. The growing light illuminates not only the summit but also the vast landscape stretching toward the Euphrates River. This moment becomes a sacred convergence of history and nature, of light and silence.
