Ephesus

Well this is a bit late but I needed to write alot this time and my hand held wwas a bit slow. Well I got into the workroom this morning but due to time difference no one was there. Shame. Ill try again at a diferent time.
Well the Roman city od Ephesus was truely amazing. We were there on Friday and Saturday. Parts of this ancient Roman city is over 5,000 BC. The sea had caused this city to move nad was evacuated due to the sea becomming amash area with mosquitos and people began to die of Maleria. Only a small section has been excivated. Obsiden arrow heads and knives and tools for making jewlery have ben dug up helping people to create a picture of what went on in this time. the Famous King Adrian had a temple that had to have the porch removed to another part of thecity due to the encroaching sea. The marble statue carvings need to be looked at in books ans inm not sure my photow will do them justice. The real carving shave been taken tot he musem for preservation while a fake set are in the city. We visited the excavated terrace hiused where the peopl live. Thewy were like brick boxes all on top of each other. One room buildings with painted moascic and painted walls which are still there today. The theatre where they had entertainment has been dug up and seated approx 1500 people. There was another ampithehaeatre that was where people went to watch the charriot races and blood sports. It took us 2 hours to walk through. Im not doing it justice here. Lets see what you can research for your selves. Well worth the time to gathere some more facts and pics.
We also visited the home of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This was up in the hills away from the town of Kasadusi. It has now been turned into a chappel where many people go to ask for special favours of the Virgin.
