Talk:Mount Nemrut

message: As far as I know, proper transliteration of the name to English is Nemrout, because both Armenian "ու" and Turkish "u" sounds must be written "ou" in English in order to be pronounced right. Because Nemrut could be pronounced like [nemrat] which is wrong.
That's why Armenian names Անուշ[Anush] or Լուսինե[Lusine] translated to English like Anoush and Lousine.

thread_title:  Nemrut vs Nemrout 

message: After doing research on Mount Nemrut from reliable sources, I came to the conclusion that Mount Nemrut was built by an Orontid king of Armenian descent who embraced Greek culture. That does not make Mount Nemrut Greek, and I am starting to get tired of Greeks hijacking the history of other civilizations. So back to the topic, It would be nice if somebody rewrote this article, and make it Armenian. If you want to have any evidence or anything to support the claim that Mount Nemrut is Armenian, buy a copy of the book Armenia: Cradle of Civilization, by David Marshall Lang, an English professor thats done extensive research on this topic.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.81.10.66 (talk) 21:30, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

message: According to the german Version of this article, the Lionhoroscope is situated on the eastern terrace and it shows the date 14 July 109 BC, exactly 19:35 o'clock and this should be the date of the coronation of Mithridates I Callinicus - I'm now wondering which date this lion really shows -- Hartmann Schedel (talk) 23:14, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  What was the ancient name of it? 

message: There is no mention of evidence pointing to those responsible for the vandalism of the figures (including the "beheading"), or at least a theory of who did it and when. If there is such a theory, can it be inserted? Thanks!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Isoruku (talk • contribs) 23:31, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I've never seen a clear theory documented, but might point out that the statues are not made out of one solid piece of rock, but rather are built out of half a dozen roughly cut stones each. The heads are one single piece, and of course had been sitting on top of the rest. The heads might have been brought down by human vandalism, but any earthquake or maybe even the influence of snow and freezing water could possible have done the job.Ilyacadiz (talk) 20:36, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Who did the beheading? 

message: I see that my edit, adding the "Name" section, has been reverted. It's not that I care too much, but I guess I might have made some mistake and would be happy to learn what it was. User Bgwhite says: "Do not use illegal copies of Copright material as reference. Also, this is not an HTML page, use wikicode." I'm sorry if I mixed up codes. As for the copyright question, I can't really understand that: the only sentence I copied literally is this: "every natural and artistic work that exceeded normal sizes were attributed to him", clearly marked as a quote. The source as such is hardly illegal, being a scholarly contribution to an UNESCO newsletter. What exactly is the copyright violation? Thanks for any clarification.
