There are about 10 meters high giant statues of kings and gods sitting in rows on thrones. The faces of the statues look towards the sun. The statues of the eagles, which represent the sovereignty over the sky, the lions, which represent the kingdom’s domination on earth, and the statues of King Antiochus I of Commagene, goddess Commagene (Tyche-Bakht), Zeus (Oromastes), Apollo-Mithras, and Heracles-Artagnes, are placed on this terrace.

Behind the thrones is the religious and social will of King Antiochus (Nomos), which consists of 234 lines. On the west and the south of the terrace there are the relief-stelae of Persian kings of the Commagene Kingdom. There is also a fire altar in front of the statues and a lion statue sitting next to it. You can watch the sunrise from this terrace of the Mount Nemrut.
