From Mt. Nemrut
The king Anthiochos 1. of Kommagene,
is not the mightiest around, but he seems to have the tallest hat, and the
highest grave. He must have suffered from an inferiority complex, thus this
megalomania project. His grave is supposed to be in the middle of the peak.
I don't think his death is happier than other's. The crushed stones add 50 meter
to the top and make it 2.150 meter above sea level. From miles and miles away
you can admire the seemingly polished peak.
