The ancient city of Ephesus before and after excavations:
Ephesus was an ancient port city whose well-preserved ruins are located in modern-day Turkey. The city was once considered the most important Greek city and the primary trading center in the Mediterranean region. Throughout history, Ephesus survived numerous attacks and changed hands multiple times between conquerors. It was also a significant hub for early Christian evangelism.
Ephesus is situated near the western shores of present-day Turkey, at the junction of the Aegean Sea and the former estuary of the River Kaystros. It is approximately 80 kilometers south of Izmir, Turkey.
Best classrooms on the planet! Dr. Moore (@ScottHMoore) lecturing on the Pre-Socratic philosophers in Miletus, the birthplace of philosophy, and Dr. Whitlark reading Acts 19 in the theater at Ephesus where the riot against St. Paul occurred.
