Exploring the heart of Selçuk - Why you must visit
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 гру 2020
- Hello peeps in this video we show you the Basilica of St John, the ayasuluk castle, the aqueduct and the temple of Artemis, all of this located in Selcuk.
We speak about the history of the sites and we bring you along with us to a different time and era.
"Ayasuluk Hill is an ancient mount in İzmir Province in Turkey. It forms part of the Ephesus UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is home to a Byzantine fortress and the ruins of the Basilica of St John. It was reputedly the tomb of John the Evangelist, an early disciple of Jesus who is thought to have written the Gospel of John on the site. It became the main settlement of Ephesus after the ancient town declined after the 7th century, following the onset of the Arab-Byzantine wars.
The earliest archaeological remains at the site date to the Hittite era of the 2nd millennium BC, when the site was known as Apasa. There is also evidence of some Mycenaean presence before the start of the Helladic period around 1050 BC. The hill is known to be the original location of Ephesus, before it moved to a new location a few kilometers away."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayasulu...
"The aqueducts were built in the Byzantine Era to carry the spring water near the east of Selçuk to St John Basilica and the settlements around it which are 50 meters up from the sea level. Marble blocks from Ephesus and Artemision were brought here to be reused. The abutments are 15 meters high."
visitephesus.org/en/where-to-...
"One of the Seven Wonders of the World in ancient times, the Temple of Artemis (Artemision) at Ephesus was a famous place of pilgrimage for centuries and it was built dedicated to Artemis. Anatolia has always had a fertility goddess: Mita to the Phrygians, Cybele (or Kybele) to many other Anatolian peoples, Artemis to the Greeks and Diana to the Romans.Unfortunately little remains of the vast, rich marble temple: only a few bits of marble column favored by the storks who arrive in the nearby town of Selçuk each spring. There’s not a lot to see, but it’s worth dropping in at the Artemision ruins on the 3-km (2-mile, 30-minute) walk from Selçuk to the Ephesus archeological site along shady Dr Sabri Yayla Boulevard."

When you guys get reverent at a location that holds a lot of history, you can really feel it, like a goosebump-y emotion. Really loving all this historical places, knowing you're standing at the same place that used to have a lot of significance hundreds of years ago.
Exactly, and since the places are empty with no tourists around we can appreciate the places, after reading and learning about these places once we get to be there ourselves it’s overwhelming

No visit to House of Mary? Heard it s nearby..amazing vlogs. Really enjoying your Turkish series.Merry Christmas from Malaysia
It’s not walking distance from there, probably a long walk as for Ephesus it’s 3km from the city but it doesn’t feel like it, we didn’t visit the house of mary anyway we were not very interested in seeing it, if it was on the way we would’ve stopped there but to go there on purpose we decided not to go 😅🙃🙃
Recommend to go to Ephesus and cotton castle...really beautiful
In Ephesus there is cleopatra’s swimming pool
👍
*merry christmas☺☺☺☺*
St John is Prophet Yahya in the Quran..Merry Christmas Travelgramers..Stay safe
Nope st john i guess is john the apostle,,nabi yahya is john the baptist,,2 diff person
St John the Baptist was the son of Zachariah. John son of Zebedee in the Last Supper?
Have a wonderful Merry Christmas 🎄⛄🎅 2020 both of you
Thank you, same to you 😁
@@Travelgramers You're both welcome🤝

Ephesus, the site of Seven Sleepers (As-habul Kahfi), an incident mentioned in both Christian and Muslim traditions. Your video gives some idea of how grand the city was at its height of glory. Jesus, Mary and John (peace be upon them); muslims revere them too.
Wow! Thx for the info! 👍💗
Merry Christmas! Did you guys visited the ruins at a specific time to avoid the crowds or was it just deserted?
For what we understood Selçuk is very very touristic, almost impossible to visit the sites without people no matter the time but no because of the virus there’s hardly any tourists 🙃🙃
@@Travelgramers thanks a lot guys. stay safe.
❤🇲🇾
💛🇲🇾
💗 MY
time, is merciless.
things built can be ruins, no matter how grand it used to be.
Anyhow, Merry Christmas. 💗

Thanks so much, I got my jacket in a shop somewhere in Istanbul 🙃🙃
You too stay safe ☺️😉
@@Travelgramers oic...im sure u got a good price😬😁....i will thanks terima kasih😁😁
Wow ... missing our yearly vacation to Turkey ☹️
Hopefully things will get better soon and you will be able to travel again 🙂🤞🤞🤞
Yes InshaAllah.. it’s not bad because we lived in UK but visiting family in Brunei & Turkey during locked down situation is hard..
Ahhh we used to live in the UK and still have family there so we know the situation is not looking so good at the moment but we wish it everything will be over soon 😉
@@Travelgramers Oh really.. That’s nice ❤️
I’m sure you will get used to travel in Turkey where sometimes things are not according to plan and yet you just ❤️ staying there..
Merry Christmas 🎄,it’s super sunny but both of you wore so thick clothes,what’s the temperature like? Wow,only 2 of you....all by yourselves,cool😆👍🏻
That day it was probably 14 degrees it was such a nice day 🙂🙂🙂
Man Malaysia should have a place for turkish bath!🌊
🤣🤣🤣 I'll start 1 IF the Government allows!! 😉😅
@@joycetan4684 hahha only clean ending 😇😇 thts all 😜
This is a place of seljuk kingdom before ottoman empire?
That's why Turkey all in one...
Welcome to TURKEY. Tread the Globe channel just toured this area if you want have a look. Maybe gives an idea.
Deve de ter sido uma cidade muito bonita a ver pelas ruínas. Mais um amigo de 4 patas 🤣
Fazemos sempre amigos por onde passamos sejam eles de 4 patas ou não 😁😁😁
8:18 the aqueduc?
Is that turkish feta cheese? Darn pastry looks yummy!
We are still figuring out the types of cheese here 😂 so we can’t say for sure if it was feta cheese but it tasted like it was 😅
If i am not mistaken in one of your videos you mentioned that you are atheist right? Thanks for bringing us this special n historical visit though.
Yes, we don’t have a religion but we were both born in a catholic family 🙃🙃 but we still like to learn about these places, religions, etc... 😊
There r cats everywhere in Turkey, even at d ancient ruins.
Have snow...now in Turkey
In some parts but not where we are at the moment 🙃🙃🙃
Be carefull ..my friend...merry Christmas..from Malaysia
In Quran, the closest apostles of Jesus (pbuh) were identified as al-Hawariyyun (peace be upon them). There are mentioned at least twice in Quran, although not by individual names and actual numbers.
More turkish vlog please ,😭
More coming soon 🙃🙃
@@Travelgramers 😸😸😸😸 thank you
i m confuse...werent st john n virgin mary lived in ancient palestine? excuse me for my ignorant
Yes they lived somewhere else before coming to Ephesus, St John came to Ephesus before and left and then return again later on with the virgin mary to spend the rest of their lives 😉
@@Travelgramers @ in the old days turkey( old byzantium) was a long way from palestian..... travelgrammer of the ancient🤔🤔🤔
Yes it was but people were already travelling long distances back then
Dog smile haha

Yang muslim tolong jaga aqidah. Maksud ucapan Merry.....anda mengakui tarikh 25 sebagai lahirnya isa sebagai anak tuhan
Ckp je happy holiday je
"Datuk Seri Dr Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri, Mufti Wilayah Persekutuan berkata, "Ucapan Merry Christmas adalah sekadar ungkapan untuk menzahirkan kegembiraan sambutan itu. Golongan Muslim boleh mengucapkannya kepada orang Kristian, dengan syarat mereka tidak memuliakan agamanya."
"Penting untuk kita wujudkan kesedaran mengenai perkara ini agar tak timbul sebarang kekeliruan. Hiduplah secara harmoni bersama agama-agama lain," tambahnya lagi."
Ada fahaman Kristian lain yg tidak mengiktiraf tarikh 25hb ini. Mereka menyambutnya di hari lain seperti orthodox Kristian. Tak mungkin kita mengakui sbb kita pun tak pasti. Kita sekadar memberi ucapan tanda kemesraan saja dan tidak mendalaminya.
@@dontyoushiver42 benar seperti tuan kata itu tetapi dr zakir naik mengulas ucapan itu sebagai bersyadah mengakui nabi isa anak tuhan
