Camille Anderson Instagram – Turkey 🇹🇷 One of the more interesting places I’ve traveled to! We spent time in Kusadasi and toured the ancient city of Ephesus, along with Virgin Mary’s final home. Interesting Facts: 🔴Ephesus was constructed in 6th century BC, and its excavated remains reflect centuries of history, from classical Greece to the Roman Empire. It was once the second largest city of the Roman Empire and was an important trading hub. 🔴The Temple of Artemis is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Ephesus is even referenced several times in the Bible. 🔴Mary, mother of Jesus, spent her last days near Ephesus. We visited Mary’s house nearby. It was really moving to experience such an important piece of history, first hand. 🔴 Pictured: Temple of Artemis, Ephesus Stadium (for sports activities, ceremonies and wild animal fights!), Goddess Nike, their toilette system-wild!, medical symbol (same as what we use today), Virgin Mary’s House plus our candle lighting and prayer placement ➡️ Thank you to our fantastic guide, Eda. Did you know that in Turkey, in order to be a guide, you must have a university degree in the specialty, speak multiple languages, and have proper licensing!? ➡️ I hope you enjoyed your history lesson!
