EPHESUS Izmir TURKEY SELCUK
1975 TRIP
Ephesus (Greek: Έφεσος, Turkish: Efes), was one of the great cities of the Ionian Greeks in Anatolia. The city bore the title of the first and greatest metropolis of Asia. The population of Ephesus has been estimated to be in the range of 400,000 to 500,000 inhabitants in the year 100 CE, making it the largest city in Roman Asia and one of the largest cities of the day.
Although sacked by the Goths in 263 CE, Ephesus remained the most important city of the Byzantine Empire after Constantinople in the 5th and 6th centuries. However, other destructions by the Arabs in the year 700 and 716 spurred a quick decline: the city was largely abandoned when the harbor completely filled in with river silt (despite repeated dredges during the city's history), removing its access to the Aegean Sea. When the Seljuk Turks conquered it in 1090, it was a small village. The Byzantines resumed control in 1100 and kept control of the region until the end of the 13th century. After a short period of flourishing under the new rulers, it was definitively abandoned in the 15th century.
Ephesus was an important center for early Christianity. Paul used it as a base. He became embroiled in a dispute with artisans, whose livelihood depended on the Temple of Artemis there (Acts 19:23–41), and wrote 1 Corinthians from Ephesus. The Catholic Encyclopedia notes, the Apostle and Evangelist John lived in Asia Minor in the last decades of the first century and from Ephesus had guided the Churches of that province...After Domitian's death the Apostle returned to Ephesus during the reign of Trajan, and at Ephesus he died about 100 CE at a great age. There is also a letter written by Ignatius of Antioch to the Ephesians in the early 2nd century CE, that begins with, Ignatius, who is also called Theophorus, to the Church which is at Ephesus, in Asia, deservedly most happy, being blessed in the greatness and fulness of God the Father, and predestinated before the beginning of time, that it should be always for an enduring and unchangeable glory (Letter to the Ephesians).
The house of the Virgin Mary (Turkish: Meryemana, meaning Mother Mary), about 7 km from Selçuk, is believed by many to have been the last home of Mary, mother of Jesus and is a popular place of pilgrimage. Also nearby is the town of Meryemana.

EFES EPHESUS DREAM CITY - ANCIENT CITYS e08 - with ENG subtitle
Located within what was once the estuary of the River Kaystros, Ephesus comprises successive Hellenistic and Roman settlements founded on new locations, which followed the coastline as it retreated westward. Excavations have revealed grand monuments of the Roman Imperial period including the Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre. Little remains of the famous Temple of Artemis, one of the “Seven Wonders of the World,” which drew pilgrims from all around the Mediterranean. Since the 5th century, the House of the Virgin Mary, a domed cruciform chapel seven kilometres from Ephesus, became a major place of Christian pilgrimage. The Ancient City of Ephesus is an outstanding example of a Roman port city, with sea channel and harbour basin.
Within what was once the estuary of the river Kaystros, a continuous and complex settlement history can be traced in Ephesus beginning from the seventh millennium BCE at Cukurici Mound until the present at Selçuk. Favourably located geographically, it was subject to continuous shifting of the shore line from east to west due to sedimentation, which led to several relocations of the city site and its harbours. The Neolithic settlement of Cukurici Mound marking the southern edge of the former estuary is now well inland, and was abandoned prior to settlement on the Ayasuluk Hill from the Middle Bronze Age. Founded by the 2nd millennium BCE, the sanctuary of the Ephesian Artemis, originally an Anatolian mother goddess, became one of the largest and most powerful sanctuaries of the ancient world. The Ionian cities that grew up in the wake of the Ionian migrations joined in a confederacy under the leadership of Ephesus. In the fourth century BCE, Lysimachos, one of the twelve generals of Alexander the Great, founded the new city of Ephesus, while leaving the old city around the Artemision. When Asia Minor was incorporated into the Roman Empire in 133 BCE, Ephesus was designated as the capital of the new province Asia. Excavations and conservation over the past 150 years have revealed grand monuments of the Roman Imperial period lining the old processional way through the ancient city including the Library of Celsus and terrace houses. Little remains of the famous Temple of Artemis, one of the ‘seven wonders of the world’ which drew pilgrims from all around the Mediterranean until it was eclipsed by Christian pilgrimage to the Church of Mary and the Basilica of St. John in the 5th century CE. Pilgrimage to Ephesus outlasted the city and continues today. The Mosque of Isa Bey and the medieval settlement on Ayasuluk Hill mark the advent of the Selçuk and Ottoman Turks.
Ephesus is an exceptional testimony to the cultural traditions of the Hellenistic, Roman Imperial and early Christian periods as reflected in the monuments in the centre of the Ancient City and Ayasuluk. The cultural traditions of the Roman Imperial period are reflected in the outstanding representative buildings of the city centre including the Celsus Library, Hadrian’s Temple, the Serapeion and Terrace House 2, with its wall paintings, mosaics and marble panelling showing the style of living of the upper levels of society at that time.
Historical accounts and archaeological remains of significant traditional and religious Anatolian cultures beginning with the cult of Cybele/Meter until the modern revival of Christianity are visible and traceable in Ephesus, which played a decisive role in the spread of Christian faith throughout the Roman Empire. The extensive remains of the Basilica of St. John on Ayasuluk Hill and those of the Church of Mary in Ephesus are testament of the city’s importance to Christianity. Two important Councils of the early Church were held at Ephesus in 431 and 449 CE, initiating the veneration of Mary in Christianity, which can be seen as a reflection of the earlier veneration of Artemis and the Anatolian Cybele. Ephesus was also the leading political and intellectual centre, with the second school of philosophy in the Aegean, and Ephesus as a cultural and intellectual centre had great influence on philosophy and medicine.
Ephesos, Turkey
Video with images of Ephesos an ancient commercial city at the Mediterranean coast of classical Asia Minor. In the period of the Roman empire the prosperous city attained its present form as an adminstrative and intellectual centre.
In the southeast of Ephesos was an odeon at a public agora with colonnade. The odeon was a also a bouleuterion for public meetings of the city council. At the west end of the public agora was a temple built for the emperor Domitian. At the entrance of the square leading to the temple was a nymphaeum with statues, reliefs and inscriptions. The Memmius monument nearby was built by a grandson of the emperor Sulla in memory of his family.
Passing the Hercules gate one desends Curetes street which was paved with marble stone slabs. At the right side of the street was a nymphaeum of the emperor Trajan. Further down the street was a temple of the emperor Hadrian which was restored in the fourth century AD. Some of the reliefs in the upper section depicted the imperial family of emperor Theodosius. Behind the temple was a public bath house with latrines.
Down at the end of Curetes Street was the library of Celsus a former governor of Asia Minor. The library had two stories with columns, statues and friezes. To the north of the Celsus library was a colonnaded street which led to the harbour. Right in front of the street was a theatre for shows of actors and gladiators.
Turkey - Pamukkale - Travel Video
Pamukkale is a must see destination in Turkey. Heated by hot springs the travertine limestone deposits create multicolored terraces unlike anywhere else. Nearby are the 1900BC ruins of Hierapolis. Stroll around the Temple of Apollo, the well preserved Roman Theater and Domitian Gates. A great place to spend a few days.

Entry from: Pamukkale, Turkey
Entry Title: Hierapolis, Laodicia and Pamukkale
Entry:
The early BBC News reminds me this morning that six years ago today the USS Cole was attacked in the harbor of Aden. I remember that day vividly - I was sitting in a hotel room in Amman, Jordan when the news broke over CNN. Outside the window a bird is whistling like a cardinal on this cool October morning. After breakfast and services we are on our way to Hierapolis. The high hills are covered with golden dried grass and dark stands of pine trees. On the northwest side of the city's ruins we examine some of the house-shaped tombs of the largest ancient graveyard in Antatolia. Not only mausoleum-type tombs were used but also sarcophagi and burial under mounds. Ancient Hierapolis was known as a healing center but the size of the necropolis makes one wonder how many people were healed of their ailments. The city was also known for its textiles and was ceded to Rome in 133 BC. But over a century and half later it was destroyed by an earthquake. It was quickly rebuilt and reached its zenith around AD 200. Past the necropolis, the Roman baths, through the Arch of Domitian and I am on the main street. The Plateia is a wide, colonnaded thoroughfare paved with large stone slabs. And like the standard Roman city, sewers run under the pavement. We stop to examine the ancient public latrine. Following an uneven stone path we make our way over to see the thermal springs that played a large part in the popularity of the city. To our left is the large Roman theater with a seating capacity of about 20,000. Two dogs are sleeping on the steps of the Post Office. Around a corner, through a large doorway and we are in a courtyard with tables and chairs. Small shops line part of the courtyard where one can buy souvenirs or refreshments. Four men are playing backgammon at one table while a cat is sleeping in the shade of one of the numerous trees that provide shade to the sitting area and the pool. Men and women are in the shallow pool that may have been associated with the Temple of Apollo. This pool is different from most pools. Fragments of ancient columns are lying about in the water. Stone blocks submerged in the tepid spring water give people something to lie on and absorb the sun's rays. Encouraged to taste the spring water at its source as it comes out of a tap, I find it tepid but the taste isn't offensive just rather fizzy, almost like soda water. A large sign lists the health benefits and the natural elements of the water. Then we walk down to see the famous travertine terraces. The water from the hot springs flows down the slopes and leaves deposits of limestone. These layers of white calcium carbonate have built up through the years and now are a brilliant white enabling one to see the hillside from miles away - later in the day I would see it from the ruins of Laodicia. Up until a few years ago, hotels lined the terraces. But they used so much of the water that the terraces themselves were dangerously affected. The decision was made to demolish the hotels and one can no longer bathe in the travertine pools. The hotels were rebuilt down the road in another area. The dogs are still sleeping by the Post Office. We get on the buses, drive over and up to see the ruins of Laodicia. Known for high quality soft black wool and its banking system, Laodicia was on the crossroads of commerce. Between Sardis and Perga on the north-south road and the Euphrates and Ephesus on the east-west road ...

SUMMARY
=======
Ephesos (; Greek: Ἔφεσος Ephesos; Turkish: Efes; may ultimately derive from Hittite Apasa) was an ancient Greek city on the coast of Ionia, three kilometres southwest of present-day Selçuk in İzmir Province, Turkey. It was built in the 10th century BC on the site of the former Arzawan capital by Attic and Ionian Greek colonists. During the Classical Greek era it was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League. The city flourished after it came under the control of the Roman Republic in 129 BC.
The city was famed for the nearby Temple of Artemis (completed around 550 BC), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Among many other monumental buildings are the Library of Celsus, and a theatre capable of holding 25,000 spectators.Ephesos was one of the seven churches of Asia that are cited in the Book of Revelation. The Gospel of John may have been written here. The city was the site of several
5th-century Christian Councils (see Council of Ephesus).
The city was destroyed by the Goths in 263, and although rebuilt, the city's importance as a commercial centre declined as the harbour was slowly silted up by the Küçükmenderes River. It was partially destroyed by an earthquake in 614 AD.
The ruins of Ephesus are a favourite international and local tourist attraction, partly owing to their easy access from Adnan Menderes Airport or from the cruise ship port of Kuşadası, some 30 km to the South.

SUMMARY
=======
Ephesus (; Ancient Greek: Ἔφεσος Ephesos; Turkish: Efes; may ultimately derive from Hittite Apasa) was an ancient Greek city on the coast of Ionia, three kilometres southwest of present-day Selçuk in İzmir Province, Turkey. It was built in the 10th century BC on the site of the former Arzawan capital by Attic and Ionian Greek colonists. During the Classical Greek era it was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League. The city flourished after it came under the control of the Roman Republic in 129 BC.
The city was famed for the nearby Temple of Artemis (completed around 550 BC), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Among many other monumental buildings are the Library of Celsus, and a theatre capable of holding 25,000 spectators.Ephesos was one of the seven churches of Asia that are cited in the Book of Revelation. The Gospel of John may have been written here. The city was the site of several
5th-century Christian Councils (see Council of Ephesus).
The city was destroyed by the Goths in 263, and although rebuilt, the city's importance as a commercial centre declined as the harbour was slowly silted up by the Küçükmenderes River. It was partially destroyed by an earthquake in AD 614.
The ruins of Ephesus are a favourite international and local tourist attraction, partly owing to their easy access from Adnan Menderes Airport or from the cruise ship port of Kuşadası, some 30 km to the South.
