On top of the peak, there are limestone statues of ancient gods from Greek and Persian mythology. The colossal sculptures are part of the temple-tomb built around 62 B.C. by King Antiochos I of Commagene (69-34 B.C.) as a shrine to himself. At some point the heads of the statues were removed from their bodies, and they are now scattered throughout the site.

Sakwala Chakraya - this chart-like carving is speculated to be a cosmological chart or a key to a stargate! This is located in the city of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. There are many stories about UFOs and other strange happenings around this location. The Danigala Mountain, also called Alien Mountain, which is nearby also adds more fuel to this stargate theory because as per locals this mountain attracts more thunder, lightning, and shooting stars than any other mountain around the region. Some researchers have drawn parallels between Sakwala Chakraya and other similar sites from around the world that are believed to be stargates.
The existence, function and meaning of this Sakwala Chakraya is not mentioned though in any historic records and so remains a mystery. shorturl.at/uAHNS
