So glad you mentioned Paul and the Bible. Nice to see where he preached and talked about. It would be nice to have a series of videos of where Paul traveled to and preached. Thanks.
He was imprisoned on the hill in the distance,not too far away is the last place where the virgin Mary live,very peaceful and now a tiny church.
The region of Ionia, the beloved Ephesus. Ancient Greeks showed the way to beauty, renaissance, democracy, human rights, enlightenment. We owe so so much!
but now greece papa france papa use give me money give me weapons and produce only chese :D what a pathetic nation failed nation also TURKIYE 3 grece 0 valeyball 2023 :D :D
Human rights??💀💀
I was in Turkey 4 months ago and l visited Ephesus.
I'm so happy l had a chance to see the ancient cities where Apostle Paul preached the gospel news,early christianity started here.
The ruined city is preserve and some parts are being structured,as to attract tourists from foreign countries.
Those who read and know the story about the seven churches in Turkey will definitely visit these places. It's amazing.
Plus, one of the seven wonderful of the world was located nearby.
I love ancient Greek cities
but now greece papa france papa use give me money give me weapons and produce only chese :D what a pathetic nation failed nation also TURKIYE 3 grece 0 valeyball 2023 :D :D
its amazing to see the buildings that are intact even after 2000 plus years
Thank you for this excellent video.
We just returned from a Viking cruise vacation and Ephesus was my favorite tour!
We were not able to enter the homes that were still being carefully excavated. I am so happy you were able to show us what was inside!!!
I'd love to visit this place!! Fantastic🏛
My wife is there today..Your version helped me greatly understand what she's seeing..I don't do group tours unfortunately due to cervical stenosis that makes riding too long painful
My goal destination this 2019. Bless me Lord 🙏
I went to this place in March. It was raining. Guess what I and 3 friends were all alone in this site ! We roamed the city for more than 3 hours in dizzy rain !
wish wish Oh boy what a dream!
That sounds amazing
I went there in 2020 and it was raining too and the clouds were omg so pretty and cats and everything
Library of Celsus is the highlight! Everyone interested in archeology or history, should definitely see it in a lifetime.
Wow. I want to visit this ancient city
This was such an amazing era in the world history. Amazing the art, culture and architecture.
Chris Challouma cry these are our hahahahahhaa
@Chris Challouma I wonder why neighboring cities or countries usually don't get along or are jealous of each other. That's sad.
@@rebeccagutierrez1401 because it is true that these temples and ruins are greek and turkish government never mention the greek civilization that lived and growed there. Nothing about jealousy ..
@@evaggeliag7845 As a person grown up in Turkish public education system, I was very well aware that Anatolia was home to numerous Greek city-states. I don't know where you get these ideas, Turks never claim that they were there since eternity and they know that the first time Turks entered Anatolia was 1071. Can't we just get over the past grievances? Why do we have to keep arguing over every single thing instead of working together to build something good for both sides? Whatever happened in the past, the people who were responsible are dead for a long time. Turks and Greeks have more in common than their differences. Do we really have to hate each other just because we were born on different sides of a border?
@@evaggeliag7845 we all konuya greek from when we were ten,absolute degenerate,you really want fights and have justifications for them.
Divine Greece , long live Hellas.
This is in turkey not greece
@@Untouchable1345 haha
@Bahodir Islomov For now but for thousands of years were all Grecian. All the ruins are Grecian.🎉 AS YOU KNOW!
@@andyantonioap we respect yours legacy but if you want take the izmir.its not good for you
What Greece, you are Turk not greek in 400 years what you think there not was exhange of population, and before there were the romans for 2000 years no mention of greece.
Was there a month ago!! Beautiful place.. great memories, i climbed up the amphitheatre too.. and cute cats are everwhere, love them!!
Beautiful GREEK ancient city.
Amazing what the Greeks created
And of course funded mainly by the profits of the most lucrative trade in the world: humans. Trading slaves was just as accepted as trading olive oil.
not hreeks romanians
@@mertekmek1964 Is that why all the writing in Ephesus on all the buildings, is in Greek and not Latin?
yeah they made math harder ):
@jorgan Kharn what do you mean? Greece has 11 Million Greeks and most Turks along the Aegean are Greek too
Πολύ ωραία, καταπληκτικό ❤️ Very admirable. Ancient 🇬🇷🏛 is an archaeological beauty. Everywhere is a piece of Hellenism.
I love you guys' buildings, I'm a lover of Greek culture. 🇹🇷🇬🇷
but now greece papa france papa use give me money give me weapons and produce only chese :D what a pathetic nation failed nation also TURKIYE 3 grece 0 valeyball 2023 :D :D
turkey have more ancient greek city than greece. Turkey have more ancient roman city than italia. this is amazing but true : )
Anatolia amazing.
Much of it was destroyed during Ottoman era though.
Turkey barely has Romans ruins and of minimal importance
_ Giovi678 Not true. Turkey litterally has three cities which were the capitals of the Roman Empire: Constantinople and Nicomedia, and Nicaea, along with countless Greco-Roman towns on the Anatolian coast
@@dbo514 they were abondoned for before Turks reached
@@calidone7661 nah. All those cities were vibrant and inhabited, until the late 13th and 14th centuries, when they were ravaged by Turkish invasions, and couldn't be defended by the ailing Byzantine Empire
When the Turkish tour guide mentions Roman ruins, she means Eastern Romans, who were also known as Greecians, Ephusus as you know is a Greecian word and so are the Scriptures on the walls in Greecian (Greek). Basically all the ruins in Turkey were Greecian. The Turks arrived much, much later.
Troy, Ephusus, Smyrni, Cappadocia, Gallipoli, Anatolia etc, were all Greecian 🎉
Love Turkey from 🇵🇭
This was created by greeks for greeks, why are you sending love to the turks instead?
@@dragooll2023 Because the turks were kind of enough to keep them in good shape willingly…
@@dragooll2023 🤣🤣🤣 jealus
@@dragooll2023Who cares? These are in Turkiye now and Turkiye makes money of them. So Ephesus belongs to Turks
I just came from there. I'd didn't know the people were so friendly. Would love to visit again.
Best trip we ever took ❤️🙏
My husband and I went to Ephesus back in 2012 and it was such a nice experience coming from America. Also, as African Americans, they treated us exceptionally well. Almost in amazement. At the Virgin mary House, the kids were seemingly on a field trip and when they saw me, they rushed up to me asking could they take my picture and wear my shades. I was in heaven. Our tour guide was also very flirty, I forgot his name, but it was a very common one. He asked me to be his wife. Maybe they thought we had some money, but I'd love to go back.
Land where Heraclitus of Ephesus wasborn. Beautiful place.
Just got back from my trip to Ephesus...Indeed a beautiful place...Thank you for sharing this video...it gave me a better insights of this place.
@Ingeborg Swieten Yes
this place is amazing
This is amazing
A short video but you show and explain a lot of History in this Beautiful Video👷🏆🌎🎉💯💖🪜Big Blessings ChampioN 📺🎉🏆👷
Thank you for making this video. ! Appreciate it.
Thanks Rick
Been here it's impressive
I can only Dream of visiting someday. Incredible City, the Artistic Stone work. Thank You for sharing.
Ephesus is the place where Paul adviced Timothy to do Pastoral mission.
Wonderfull site. You need at least 1,5 - 2 hours to see wonderful public buildings, The Odeon , Baths of Scholastica, Curetes Street, The Heracles Gate, The Goddess Nike, the Temple of Hadrian , the Library of Celsus, The Gate of Augustus, The Great Theatre, Harbour Street . You need extra 30 minutes to visit Terrace Houses. Do not forget that only 15 % has been excavated.
AMAZING
Another suggestion for those who visit this place is to visit the ancient city of Aizanoi. Excavations are still in progress. An area of 100 square meters is being excavated around the temple of Zeus. not immediately but maybe in the next 2 years a must visit
Going here next week!
I was here in May this year. What a beautiful city.
Lucky country( Turkey ) have so many ancient Greek and Byzantine archaeologicals from Konstantpoli untill Alexabdretta
Hi Rick. Im making a "top 10 places to visit in turkey video". Is it possible for me to use some of your footage (5-10 seconds) in my video, when talking about Epehsus? Happy to mention you in the video credits and/or include a link to this video, for more info on Ephesus. Please let me know at the earliest.
Wow ia amazing
Been here🎉
Greeks forever !!!
Amazing Turkey! Blessed been there on Nov. 2019 ❤
There is nothing amazing that was made by turks! Absolutely 0 things!!
i see Greek civilization everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Very nice!!!!!!!!!
NOT GREEK !!! ROMAN EMPIRE IS NOT GREEK
Kevin B. Floria Ephesus was a Ancient Greek city. I don't see why you talk about the Roman Empire
because he s Kevin from Florida .... the poor guy is an American....he cannot understand.... he didn’t have the opportunity to understand from the day he was born .....
@@kevinb.florida4444 correct
@@hasanyalcin6049 you know the truth but you can t accept it 🤣🤣🤣
Nice
recommended tour guides for Ephesus?
Hellenism 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
I went there 3 weeks ago.
3:50 it was here that the Apostle Paul planned to give his talk
Super Video!
Miss this place .... One of the places to go besides cappadocia n the cotton castle in pamukle
Turkey has many beautiful landscape (cappadocia, ararat, canakkale) and historical building (hagia sophia, Istanbul). Very great tourism destination, I hope to visit it one day.
It's very popular because it's Hellenic
@@georgedemos3889 what is Hellenic
@@ichiroyamada1901 turkish culture
@@ichiroyamada1901 Hellenic means Greek
@@panagiotisgiannikos7124 I'm talking about Turkey not Greece
having been there it's amazing that 85 percent is estimated unexcavated
"So public toilets were really public? " 😂
Great video I was there and someday would like to return
I live 10 km far away from here. if you have questions you can ask me.
Does Ephesus has ticket to visit?
The Temple of Artemis was one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world, strange that it is not mentioned... Nice video though.
I looked for it and didn't even see it. I was told it's just a few standing pillars. There's a lot more to see in the city
@@JourneymanDan It was in a different site. You see, Ephesus, like some other ancient Greco-Roman cities changed sites. The ruins of the Temple of Artemis lie north of the Roman city. Cities like Smyrna, modern day İzmir also changed sites.
There is only one column left from the Temple of Artemis. It is around 2 miles to Ephesus Ancient City. The Temple of Artemis is displayed in the "Ephesus Room" of the British Museum.
You know Rick,
Oh, Steves waves Artemis around like a doll...see Robert Graves' poem The Return of Artemis...😈
🔥
I have been to Ephesus recently and really enjoyed your video along with the information given. I would like to
share this video clip with some friends and would like your permission to do so. It would bring my photos to
life and give more understanding... and appreciation to this segment of history.
I think you can share the video with friends without permission :)
I didn't know you were on the tube.....
Just read on acts 19 that they also yelled great is Diana. This is interesting. I would like to go there one day.
At 0:40 the people you mentioned as BARBARIANS are Turks who migrated to Anatolia from the Siberian Steppes because of illness, cruel mongolian invasion, lack of food etc... I highly disagree with the the idea of pre renaissance era Turks are barbarians. Turks also have a deep culture and respect all other cultures. For example, people in most of the places invaded by Ottoman Empire were free of their religion, and this was in 14th century, in which time freedom of tought not existed. If they were barbarians, city wouldn't exist today, they would ruin everything, because most of the buildings were useless for Turkish people life style at that time... As a Turkish Engineer, I felt very sad about the word 'barbarians'. We are not barbarians nor most of the old Turkish Societies. We are just people like you. Thank you for great video :) !
In ancient Rome, barbarian meant someone who either spoke a foreign language or lived outside the Roman Empire. Rick mentioned this in one of his other episodes. I don't think he meant uncivilized, unfriendly. I was in Ephesus last month, and they were definitely friendly. It was a great place and would love to visit again.
Funny how Turkish tour guides of Greek cities in Turkey, never use the term “Greek” or “Hellenic”
what they use ?
"ancient" or "Roman"
They usually use hellenic as a term.
Not true.
Our t. guide did mentioned that Hierapolis was Greek city.
Stop this my friend eh. We acknowledge it is Greek. Beautiful culture and land the Greeks have.
And besides we might be culturally Turkish but half my family is of Greek origin despite me never speaking or have a Greek name. We are closer than you think.
Oh, Lord JESUS CHRIST my GOD, Bless me today.
Buen vídeo.
Love turkey ❤
Turkey and other countries can conquer Ancient cities but the facts will always be there long live Greece a civilization that will never die! ❤️👌 Great Architecture
We have no problem with that. we are just trying to protect whats wrong?
@@emilyrosewatson3759 you may have not problem with this and i truly respect it if is true. But(!) The way they are presented and how some turkish try to change the history is what sadden us.
but now greece papa france papa use give me money give me weapons and produce only chese :D what a pathetic nation failed nation also TURKIYE 3 grece 0 valeyball 2023 :D :D
paul wrote to Timothy who was in charge of preaching to ephesians, congregation was of up to 100,000 individuals

"So public toilets are really public ?" :D :D 2:35
In the marine corps they had toilets side by side with no doors or walls. Now I know where the idea came from. Lol

Ephesus, dedicated to Diana the moon goddess
it was dedicated to goddess Artemis years ago before the romans conquer it ... diana is a godess of the roman pantheum.
ephesus always worshipped matrimonial, female godesses. that wasnt just a one time thing :)
Five families and many servants ... about how many slaves or servants did these families feed & house?
Greek mythology brought me here
Go to greek 🤣
@@hasanyalcin6049 thats why he went there

Turkey is actually an archaeological wonderland of ancient Roman and some Greek culture and architecture. What the Romans built 2000 years ago still stands and is an absolute marvel at how well designed and engineered the cities were including running water from rivers via aquaduct
Bible brought me here
me too. Just arrived today. Praise God!
@@JesusistheLambofGod yes praise Him. Hoping i can go there someday soon. 😊
The Heavenly Father is coming shortly and think it's a game.

of cource artemis greek godess even ephesus its a greek name
Ephesus in Turkey 😁😁
@@mahfi-iturki2090 yes of course the minor asia coastline mainly has hundreds small or larger ancient greek cities builted there years ago before the first noman tribes reached minor asia on the 10th century thats why we have so many ruins of that period. of course the most of them continued to flourish during hellenistic roman and byzantine period and even more recently.
@@nontin21 Yeah. Civilization, was born in Anatolia and Mesopotamia.
I wonder...who u mean by barbarians? The ottomans?
barbarian?? LoL. We could destroy your all structures back in Ottoman Empire era but we didn't. Thank to Ottomans because of that. And Ottomans doesn't use people as slaves where they conquer. This is the signature of Ottomans. Stop calling barbarians to Ottomans
G*rmanic

Original Turks are Central Asia. Those in Anatolia are Greeks who think they are Turkish.
🇹🇷
True
CRY about it ! This will change nothing ! You have to accept we are Turks
Zyou know

when did you do all that
my people lived there when you all were still living in caves in mongolia
Ionia was colonized by Greeks from the Athens region around 1000 BCE the Lydians writing system, which is strictly alphabetic, is related to or derived from that of Greek
you have an excuse for everything, at least i thats my ancestors land where did yours come from,,,,,
Not accurate, Apostle Paul won a lot of souls and started a Church before writing ✍🏿 epistles to the The Church of Ephesus for further instruction and laws.
