Exploring the Ancient City of EPHESUS, TURKEY

[HeyVernTravels]

Was good to chat you, thanks for that!

[VictorSokovin]

Gabriel is completely spoiling us with the historical sites. Much appreciated.

[HeyVernTravels]

I also wanted to say, after meeting Gabriel he is the real deal, what you see is what you get. A real good guy. I had met some other vloggers while in Istanbul and they weren't as kind and friendly. He is very passionate and genuine. Safe travels!

Dude your recent uploads are killing me! That place looks amazing!! ❤️

[illizizon]

Althought I am a Turk nowadays, I am very much aware that most of my ancestors were not of Turkish origin but rather Anatolian, Roman and Greek. Thats also what DNA tests prove (Central Asian DNA of Turks is around 15-20%). So I am glad to say that these monumental citys were build by my ancestors and are a part of my history.

Still watching every upload; 5 years later! Gabriel you are the best!

Absolutely loving the look of Ephesus. Coincidently my favourite Turkish restaurant in my hometown is called "Ephesus".

It was a ancient Greek mega city. Was settled by Mycenaean Greeks around 1300 bc then the Ionian Greeks resettled it around 1050 bc and had so many Greeks coming from Greece it founded many other Greek cities. So why not see the Greek temple there

[saratemp]

Best classic ruins I have seen yet. A whole town.

Very nice video. All this Greek culture has been kept for years and I hope that even if it is in the wrong hands, it will continue to be kept carefully. 🙂💙🤍

My dad is a history teacher and when i was younger i did not understand what the thing was with "old stuff"

But now i am older (and wiser) i get the feeling i missed out so much and didn't appreciate the past. You made me clear with your video's that i missed out a lot and wil try to teach my son that the past is so important and interesting for the future and understanding why things in life are and why things in life wil be.

Thank you so much :)

I visited Ephesus some 20 years ago and still today I'm impressed by this monument city...for some reason i can vividly remember each corner stone, strong energies and the feeling I get only thinking how must have been living there in those times...past life maybe 😉...
Thanks G to contribute nice memories

Ephesus was an ancient Greek city title not correct

[Latunza]

Gabriel, you do great work. Thank you for taking us on this path to finding all these amazing cities.

[mackjeez]

Correction: Ephesus was a Ancient Greek City not Roman. It's a very special city for Greeks, it's were early Christianity spread and where The Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World was built, it was also one of the most important city of the Byzantine Empire.

[Panzerkita]

Again, thank you... I don't have the words to express. The oldest thing in the city I live in, Abbotsford, BC Canada, is the Rail Station in "Historic Downtown" is from 1910 - 1914. Ya...
Watching this has been a great way to start my day, 0640 PST.

Ephesus was one of the largest and wealthiest cities in the eastern Mediterranean area. It had a population of about 250, 000 people. The temple of the Greek goddess Artemis was located there.

It came under Roman rule around 130 BC. The Biblical evangelist Paul stayed in Ephesus for 2 years, and wrote the first letter to the Corinthians there, and probably other Epistles also.

He preached in the synagogue and the lecture hall of Tyrannus

Hi Gabriel, The ruins are just a testament of what is being conserved and how important the building the people who built it have such an influence on the entire region not only in Turkey but the entire world. I'm sure these ruins have been studied endlessly and are being maintained for future generations to witness this impressive display of building structure design and organizational religious influence. A critical part of humanity's daily life.
