Finally, I saw a security guard and rushed up to ask for peace of mind under the banner of asking for directions. Then the security guard laughed and pointed at the huge wild dog legion behind Yun Luo and said, "ok, ok, love, love." Since they were all said that, even if they showed off their power, they could only pretend to be calm and ignore it. Unexpectedly, the wild dogs became quiet instead.

I occasionally squeezed out two satisfied hums from my throat, and rushed to Yunluo to lead the way. I should say that these guys are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong or that they are good at being good, haha. There is really limited place to see clearly in the dark night. A theater Apollo Temple is even larger than what I saw before.

It is indeed a great regret that there are only a few pillars at the door that stand alone. There are only a few pillars at the door that stand alone and fail to see the hierapolis clearly. Fortunately, there are other opportunities to explore the ancient city, and the journey to Turkey is finally coming to an end. After so long, are the spectators as impatient as Yun Luo and laugh?

The last stop in Turkey is Ephesus. The ancient city that was not able to see the fun of Hierapolis last time was finally compensated here. Today, Ephesus is just a ruin next to Selcuk, but this famous city has been at the forefront of the trend since its completion. Since the Greek period, many praises and amazement have been continuously added to it.

It gradually disappeared on the historical stage in more than 700 AD. So there are quite a few views in the entire area, which is dazzling. It starts from Selcuk and is about 3km to Ephesus. An inconspicuous road sign on the road pointed to an equally inconspicuous path, and when you turn in, it is a dense weed.

The Temple of Artemis, once the Seven Wonders of the World, is now only one and a half pillars. Please imagine how magnificent it was for nearly 130 such pillars. The Temple of Artemis was rebuilt three times, the first time was destroyed by a fire, the second time was destroyed by a Goth invasion. The third time was due to the order of Pope John.

Hugo said that religious society is naturally the three major objects of human struggle. It seems that it has its own will. Ephesus was called Asia's largest metropolis in Rome, which shows its grand scale. When you enter the door, it is always moving forward. Like all Roman cities, it is a large theater that can accommodate more than 40,000 people, and is known as the largest theater in ancient times.

From time to time, tourists bravely stand on the stage to perform their talents. It makes people laugh. Ephesus's prosperity is largely due to its status as a good port in the Aegean Sea, and its final abandonment is also related to the silting of the port. This marble-paved street originally led directly to the port, but its coastline is far away 6km away.

The stone pillars on both sides were once street lights, guarding the hustle and bustle day and night. The symbol of ephesus and the most luxurious building were the largest library at that time. Now it has only been renovated on the front. Although there are several floors, the entire library is actually one floor, with a huge window above the entrance.

The complex decorations were added one by one. What's interesting is that the pillars on the base are all ionic. The pillars on the windows are all th-style. It seems that the library has a special temperament of men and women. I have to show it off. It's great to have a low season. There are no tourists taking photos of them at the big library.

Of course, it is still necessary to hurry up early. After 10 o'clock, the tour group began to enter Ephesus and worshiped four goddesses, representing wisdom, virtue, wisdom and knowledge from left to right. (According to Aristocratic theory, wisdom refers to a kind of reason that is good at considering what is good, and wisdom is the reason that faces universal and abstract general principles.

The two are very different; as for virtue, here, referring specifically to moral virtues that have nothing to do with reason, the goddess of wisdom and virtue is preserved intact (the picture shows virtue). When you look closer, you will see that the walls of the entire library are all rebuilt, and the exquisite relief patterns are collaged by later generations. As for the pillars, most of them are half original and half watered.

The Roman city was transformed into a puzzle. However, even if you piece it together and carefully observe the details, you can still feel the luxurious luxury and the brilliance of the entire library. On one side of the library is the same magnificent Augustus Gate.

There is a hidden place of wind and moon next to it. It is said that there is a secret passage connected to the large library, and it is also food and sex. I laugh. Near the library, there is a mansion that is being excavated. It is said that it is one of the only two ancient Roman mansions in the world. Although it costs an additional fee, it is still worth visiting. The house is built on a slope. It is naturally improved step by step according to the mountain. There are more than a hundred houses in total.

The hall, bath and reception room are all available, which is amazing. The walls and floors are full of exquisite murals and mosaics, and there are many staff members busy putting a pile of marble fragments back to the past pattern. The authentic puzzle Rome:) Go up the road from the mansion (the more dazzling shed next to the road).

It is Curetes Street, and its status should be equivalent to the current Chunxi Road. Thousands of years later, thousands of palaces were made of soil, but the weaving tourists once again made it bustling here, and it is difficult to catch a completely clean street even in the off-season. Speaking of ancient Rome, in addition to the theater, another indispensable building is the bathhouse.

Of course, such a large bathtub is indispensable. In fact, after walking in, I found that there were many interesting details inside, such as the stone steps were hollow and drainage holes were on it, and hot water flowed into the bathtub, which was quite clever. Next to the bathtub was an unexplained facility. The ancient Romans sat in a circle and discussed it, but they could kill two birds with one stone.

I vaguely remember that in many small mountain villages in China two thousand years later, you can still see similar public toilets. Speaking of Hadrian, what would you think of? The Great Wall of England or Antious: The Romans still respected this wise monarch who was one of the Five Sages and built the Temple of Hadrian for him. The striking Medusa in the temple seemed to be his unique symbol.

(Have you found Medusa? In the middle of the inner side of the temple, a woman with a hand spread out is also a large area of ​​gorgeous mosaics opposite Hadrian's temple. It was once just a corridor that sheltered from the rain and sun in front of shops along the street. It was also decorated so carefully by Hadrian's ex. Trajan, also one of the Five Sages, also has a place here.

There was originally a statue of Trajan in the pavilion in the center of the fountain, but now the fountain still exists (Is it considered to be?). The statue has only half a foot left. This hercules door marks the end of the Curetes Street, but the spectacularity of the ephesus will continue. Behind the hercules door.

The road continues to lead to the arch of the square in Ephesus's older upperagora part. On the left is the Pollio Fountain, and on the right is the temple of Tumeshan. As the first Roman monarch to have his own temple in Ephesus, Tumeshan was hated by later Christians, and then attached 666 of the beasts in the Bible to him. It is probably only God knows which is right and wrong.

It is said that 666 is a lucky number in China. Haha, the stone sculptures scattered all over the ground are all extraordinary works of art. Nick, the goddess of victory, should I just call Nike. Xdephesus has always had close relations with Egypt. Cleopatra, accompanied by Anthony, first Roman territory to be set foot on by Anthony, was here, and his sister was even murdered here.

He stayed in Ephesus forever. So it was natural that there was a temple dedicated to the Egyptian goddess isis. Of course, after Augustus succeeded, he naturally disliked this place, so it soon became a ruin. As you can see now, Ephesus also has another small theater.

Rather than a theater, there are two small temples next to the concert hall. The two pillars standing on the far left once enshrined the holy fire that symbolizes the ephesus's never-ending. Now the eternal light is no longer there, and ephesus has also turned into broken walls. There is no eternal place in the world. The important position of ephesus in history is undoubtedly inseparable from Christianity.

St. Paul wrote the famous work "Love is permanence" here, and later wrote his most mature masterpiece "Ephesians" in prison under the name of ephesus. In addition, according to the Catholic tradition, the Virgin Mary spent the rest of her life at the Nightingale Mountain not far away after Jesus ascended to heaven, and the Virgin Mary's last residence became a great holy place.

There are endless believers going to worship (but the Orthodox Church does not believe that the last residence of the Virgin Mary is here, and will probably be mentioned later). Due to transportation issues, we did not visit the former residence of the Virgin Mary this time, but we can still see the first church built for the Virgin Mary on the ruins of ephesus, which was changed to the temple that worshiped the Muse before.

It is for the doublechurch to go back to selcuk from Ephesus, and take a little bit of a path. You can see these caveofsevensleepers. What is rare is that Catholicism, Orthodox Church and even Islam recognize this miracle: Seven shepherds came to the mountain beside Ephesus to pray to God in order to avoid the persecution of Christians by the Roman emperor.

Then he fell into a deep sleep and woke up two hundred years later. Christianity had become the Roman state religion. The cave itself was nothing surprising, but once it was touched by the smell of legend, it seemed deep and mysterious. In addition to St. Paul, another apostle who had a great relationship with Ephesus was St. John. In addition to the Gospel of John, it should be written here, and St. John's tomb is also here.

However, according to tradition, St. John's body was not found anywhere. It was probably just a tomb. However, this did not affect the construction of thick n here by later generations. Unlike most Turkish churches, the Ottoman rulers did not make it too difficult for them, but the invasion of the Timur army in the 15th century turned it into ruins.

To this day, there is still an open-air structure, and the restored walls are only a little bit, but even if they are ruins, even if the materials used for restoration work are just antiques. Walking between such a large area of ​​stigma and stone foundation, I still can’t help but feel what I think. St. John’s tomb is in a corner of the church, and there seems to be no explanation.

But it is conspicuous enough. In addition, there are many small places to spend time in selcuk. The remaining water diversion canal next to the railway station of a Roman bathhouse site in the city has now become a paradise for birds. Of course, the museum of Ephesus is also mentioned. Although it is not big, there are many cultural relics collected.

The last piece was added to the Roman puzzle of Ephesus. This was a bust of Augustus and his lp. Later, after Christianity unified the world, the believers carved crosses on the foreheads of the two, forcing them to enter the church. Finally, the statue of Artemis, known as the treasure of the museum, was the first-century statue of Artemis, according to someone, which may cause intensive phobia.

In fact, the breasts were densely packed with breastfeeding organs. Yun Luo's impression of Artemis has always been on the horror myth of turning a man into a deer and letting his hunting dog bite to death by accident. Therefore, he has never had any good feelings for her. However, she is also a few goddesses in Greek mythology.

(Yes, Athena), why do you have to be good at breastfeeding?

It was a wonderful thing to wake up in another city in the early morning. I opened the curtains and found that the outside world was different from the past. My curiosity was about to urge Yunluo to get up quickly. Then I entered Yunluo's favorite street sweeping rhythm. Taking advantage of the time when Raymond and the large aperture went to pick up the car, the rest of the friends went to the beach together.

Because Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi knew that the next trip would be wandering around the Mediterranean Sea, Izmir was the only place where you could see the Aegean Sea during this trip. The road to the beach was not long, but Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi walked for a long time, stopped and pressed the shutter casually. In this way, they arrived at the beach and saw the Aegean Sea.

This Aegean Sea, which is only available in Greece in people's eyes... I met a tourist from Guangdong. He said he came here with his reputation, he said he was disappointed, he said Izmir is so dilapidated, he said it is the same here... Yunluo doesn't want to go too much to evaluate whether the city is developed enough. In Yunluo's eyes, the air here is fresh.

The trees are covered with green trees, and life here is very comfortable. The homeless people and dogs are together in a clean city. They are always loved by people, right? The people of the country should be very patriotic. The stars and moon flags that can be seen everywhere are always so bright that they can see at a glance. This is a "Love Bang Buy"? Big Cake Buy Car? There are not many tourists in the coastal areas.

He sat there for a long time when he parked in a yacht in groups of three or three. Even if Yun Luo secretly took photos, he didn't look up at the stone road by the sky and the sea. It was still a little slippery when it was wet. This was the green isolation belt in the middle of the road that divided the vehicles to and from the road! Such a wide isolation belt! Such a green isolation belt!

Selcuk, a town that is almost impossible to find on the map, is so beautiful at the entrance of the hotel. Friends from all over the world are welcome, but unfortunately there are no five-star flags. Maybe there are really not many tourists in China. In the hotel, the first and second floors are rooms, and the third floors are terraces and restaurants. The terraces are a good place to watch the sunset, and there are many grape vines.

The fresh grapes are very sweet and delicious. The spiral staircase leading to the terrace. There is a small house next to the restaurant where you have lunch at lunch. It is full of children's clothes. It is estimated to be a donation box. It should be used as a charity. Enjoy lunch in front of the blue sky, white clouds and the ancient city gate. Are you willing? Gather in the shade of the trees, waiting for the meal to start and love traveling.

Love taking photos, love spoofs, love eating meat, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi are the most famous Turkish apple tea in the rumor of Class 2. You deserve it! The family of three at the next table, the Turkish people are very enthusiastic. When Yunluo saw Yunluo holding a camera, he took the initiative to pick up his baby and took a photo of Yunluo. When Yunluo saw Yunluo where the Buddha was.

It is still hard to imagine how brilliant and huge a ruin such a dilapidated ruin was at that time. The huge amphitheater, the gorgeous library, and the mottled stone pillars were full of history and vicissitudes. If history only brings ruins, Yunluo only hopes that this place can be respected and admired by more people. It is so famous for the Buddha's place.

After almost an afternoon of staying in this ruins, the gorgeous library ruins were still vivid. Finally, I discovered that without a wide angle, it was really an internal injury! Yunluo didn't know the meaning of these words, but it must be full of stories. With all the Buddha, all the cats, all the colors and postures, they all lived the same leisurely life.

There are no cats here, so they are not afraid of appearing anywhere. This picture is a supplementary explanation for the above picture. Is this group of cats the host of the Buddha's Institute a show? Please ignore the tour groups in the distance. Fortunately, there are many Chinese groups who can use the tour guide to explain the clouds in the theater.

There are many tourists who have no speeches. In the eyes of cats, they should be uninvited guests. The amphitheater is really big. This way, the group photos along the way are all thanks to the tripods with large aperture children's shoes. Thanks to the dedicated tripods. The photos taken by the photo are strongly opposed to the biggest face. Recently, the photos are taken!

Tourists basically left the venue. When they arrived at the second class to book the venue, they had sunglasses flowing. They came to St. John's Church. The ruins were still in ruins and solemn. This is a Christian holy land that can be roughly seen. If it has not been burned, it should be a tourist holy land. Let's continue to walk the sunset.

Their comfortable state is really good. Please note that the big aperture of the children's shoes are taking cats! If you don't notice that there is a cat in the picture above, then use this picture to explain that maybe you didn't want food. It came to Yunluo and was pretentious for a while. In a flash, please ignore the weakness of people without wide angles. Here, the temperature difference between morning and evening is very large.

Yellow leaves and dead grass are all the favorite photos of this trip. Hello, Xiaop, are you reading books because you can't look directly at Aunt Sha and the couple pretending to be a big aperture? You are all cute... The small life is also very tense and has a stream of consciousness. After walking back to the hotel, I ordered a few dishes and the boss cooked in person.

It looks very good tomato beef. This is the small town of Selcuk under the sunset. It has a heavy sense of history. Obviously, the focus today is Pamukkale. The online evaluation of Pamukkale has always been mixed. Some praises it for nature's magic, while others disdain to say it. (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
