The old Stone work is always amazing
Glad you liked it Paul. 👍
We know you like a bit of old stones work; Paint it black Paul? 🤣
@@SVImpavidus do I see a red door?
I do enjoy watching your videos of ancient ruins. Oh to be there back in those days. Or even now to visit, thankfully I can visit with you guys showi g us around. Good job. 👍
Glad you like them Sue and thanks for watching.
Good tour, I do remember losing weight during my tour of Ephesus, if it had been cooler we may have stayed there all day - but it was untenable. Amazing to thing the place was a port city back in the day too. Thanks for sharing.😀⛵️
Yes it was a very hot day, we're going back next year at a cooler time of the year. 👍😎
The erasing is possibly an example of what is now called damnatio memoriae, basically the ancient form of being cancelled. Names of people were erased from all records because of something they did. In Ephesus, Herostratus was erased after he set fire to the temple of Artemis.
(Baz) I like the analogy of an ancient form of being cancelled. Seems like nothing much has changed. 😀
It isn't Saturday. This threw me for a loop. I thought I had lost days.🤪
Hahahaha we're messing with your mind. Bonus full length stand alone video of Ephesus because some viewers like to see full tours of the ancient sites we visit. Enjoy.
😂😂
That's one great video on the historic travel log! Guess where our first hire car trip will be! Love the history videos keep them coming! Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.
We've a backlog of these waiting to be edited. Maybe a winter project.
:) nice Vlog guys
Thank you 😁
Yeah, pretty much always most of material are missing because people kept living in the region and simply used the stones for building something else. For example Knights templars used the stones of mausoleum of Halicarnassus to build a castle nearby. I guess a castle is more useful than a mausoleum😁
You do make a good point. I suppose that if you're living there at that time you have no comprehension of the history that you're removing. 🤔
@@SailingABSea For vast majority of human history we simply tried to survive didn't care about comprehension of the history at all. It is less obvious in places where population density was lower or it isn't heavy earthquake zone like Europe or Egypt. While this is extremely obvious in Anatolia which both had high population density and it is a heavy earthquake zone therefore there was always a cycle of everything even entire cities. So only God knows how many times those buildings in Ephesus got destroyed and rebuilt during Greek era alone, for example there were FOURTEEN different era Troys all got built on top of each others. Some of Troys could be destroyed by earthquakes while some of them got destroyed by invasions like how Homer claims the city was completely destroyed in his Iliad!! So in short you see this as ''destruction of history'' but in reality this is the actual history of Anatolia. It is one of the most war and disaster torn places on Earth even then people kept trying to survive in anyway they could. Greeks used native Anatolian stones, Romans used Greek stones, Turks used Roman stones!! Even during short campaigns like Knights templars or Arabs they built several dozens castles. And if we were living during that era we were also using those stones to survive...
By the way this is the exact reason why there are rebars everywhere because otherwise they will be destroyed during next earthquake so even Hagia Sophia has rebars and building reinforcements all over and it is an attempt to save history not destroying or cheating. Europe etc also did heavy renovating especially after WW2. But most of Europe isn't earthquake zone so it is much easier to protect them while it is whole another challenge in Turkey.
A very insightful post. Thank you so much for sharing that perspective, it is very much appreciated. 👍
24 thousand people in the amfiteatr! Can you imagine that in our times? Special checking gates in case somebody had a glass, an umbrela or the other weapon. And all safety regulation for fire exits, toilets...
(Baz) Hahahahaha the paranoia is strong these days. 😎

Aside from your humor and good looks this video is exactly why we are patrons. Thank you for this video!
Much appreciated Alan, thank you for watching. 👍
👌
Cheers. 😎
Is this a re- upload or have I developed soothsaying a tad far.?
(Baz) The soothsaying is strong in this one. Not a re-upload Norman, this is the stand alone, full version of our visit to Ephesus. Some viewers like to see the full tour of the ancient sites we visit. So when we do our normal weekly release we only include a small amount of footage of an ancient site for those that don't care too much for that kind of stuff. Just trying to keep the majority of folks happy. 👍
On another note. Your mate Ant (Impavidus) pulled into the marina last week, we're on the same pontoon. 😀
@@SailingABSea Thanks Baz.Understood and I will watch this. I last visited Ephesus about 12 years ago - so I expect they may have finished building it now.🤣
@@SailingABSea I thought you lot might be hooking up. Have fun and best wishes to you all.😀⛵️👍
@@normanboyes4983 You know what construction is like... Always over promising and under delivering 😉
Thursday Surprise.
Hope you enjoyed it Murray. 😀
@@SailingABSea - I got a little emotional - I can remember most of what you showcased. The amphitheater looks more restored over 50 years - and you can see the sophistication of restoration all throughout the city. What I remember was the terrain as you showed - the wide street going up the slight hill etc. Going there again someday will be my complete circle of life - more than 50 years in the book ends. Can't wait. Thank you for your efforts to inform your audience.

Of course it’s in Greek. It looks as part of a larger inscription as it ends in an ‘and’. It just mentions the names of some brave men and not much more.,
Thanks for that. It's such a shame that the complete items were cut into pieces and then used as paving tiles. 😢
@@SailingABSea A few thousand years of continuous occupation with wars, fires and earthquakes intermingled tend to do that to sites.
Ancient Greek structures are a bliss to explore
too bad that turks vandalized the museum of hagia sophia for religious reasons
Religion of any type is a contentious subject, so we'll refrain from commenting. Thanks for watching. 👍
Erased becaused it was christ? In a muslim country..... maybe
(Baz) I think for a long time Christian and Muslim lived side by side.
