Karakuş Tumulus
The Karakuş Tumulus is a funerary monument—a hierothesion—for Queen Isias and Princesses Antiochis and Aka I of Commagene, built by Mithridates II of Commagene in 30–20 BCE, near the modern village of Çukurtaş in Kâhta District, Adıyaman Province, Turkey. Karakuş means "black bird". The monument received this name because there is a column topped by an eagle.
