EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and rich history of Ephesus, an ancient city in modern-day Selcuk, Turkey. The image, taken in 1908, depicts a Turkish guard leading a horse through the ruins of this once-great civilization. The hilltop ruins of Ephesus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are visible in the background, their grandeur and intricacy a testament to the advanced civilization that once thrived there. Ephesus, located on the western coast of Asia Minor, was a major cultural, commercial, and religious center in the ancient world. Its history spans over 3,000 years, with the city's earliest known settlements dating back to the Bronze Age. The site is renowned for its impressive architecture, including the Library of Celsus, the Temple of Artemis, and the Theater. Under the Ottoman Empire, Ephesus was known as Ayasoluk or Ayassoulook. The Turkish guard in this photograph, dressed in traditional attire, adds a sense of authenticity and connection to the region's past. The horse, with its regal bearing, further emphasizes the historical significance of the scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a place of wonder and discovery. It invites us to reflect on the enduring legacy of Ephesus and the many stories it holds within its ancient walls.
