Two people excavating - one with a toothbrush, the other with a note pad. How long will it take before it becomes a tourist hotspot? Whatever the big blocks look like, it's all marble! Population extimated by multiplying theatre seats by five. Eight thousand seats here. Our group examining the sophisticated sewerage system.
Mosques, it's all about light, decoration, windows, chandeliers. Women upstairs - sometimes behind a curtain.
This is the big one - EPHESUS
Theatre 25,000 seats - so population 225,000 first century AD. Long roads, masssive library, enormous forum. The best carvings in the museum but a lot of reconstruction on site. Overall breathtaking. One of the ladies is Nike - neither have swoosh decorated footwear.
