EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image captured by Ethel Davies in 2019, the ancient city of Ephesus in Turkey stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage that spans from the ancient Greek times through the Roman and medieval eras. Located in the modern-day district of Kusadasi, Izmir, Turkey, Ephesus is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that continues to draw visitors from around the world. The photo showcases a beautifully carved stone face, a remnant of the grandeur and intricacy of the ancient civilization that once thrived in this region. The face, with its serene expression, exudes a sense of timelessness and mystery, inviting us to ponder the stories and secrets it may hold. The image is a stunning example of the juxtaposition of the past and present. On one hand, we see the ancient ruins, weathered by time and the elements, and on the other, we see the vibrant colors and modern technology of the 21st century. The contrast between the two highlights the enduring nature of history and the importance of preserving it for future generations. Ephesus was an important port city in the ancient world, known for its Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was also the site of the Ephesus Letter, which played a significant role in the spread of Christianity. Today, visitors can explore the ruins of the theater, the library, the terrace houses, and the Temple of Hadrian, among other ancient structures. Ethel Davies' image captures the essence of Ephesus, offering a glimpse into the past while also highlighting the beauty and intrigue of the present. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving history and the role it plays in shaping our understanding of the world.
