Queen of the Mountain is a 2005 documentary film about Theresa Goell, a middle-aged woman who, in 1947, left her husband and son to dig beneath the sanctuary of Nemrud Dagh. Goell was fascinated by this shrine to King Antiochus I Theos of Commagene, which had been neglected by previous archaeologists.
Queen of the Mountain tells her story through archival footage, family photographs, oral histories, commentary from Goell's friends and her own letters. The New York Times said it offered a "strong, rich narrative with visuals to match."
