EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting ruins of Ephesus, an ancient city in modern-day Selcuk, Turkey. Dating back to the 10th century BCE, Ephesus was once a thriving commercial center and a significant cultural hub of the ancient world. The city's grandeur endured through various empires, including the Romans, who left behind impressive architectural marvels like the Library of Celsus and the Temple of Hadrian. By the late 19th century, Ephesus had long been abandoned, and its ruins were rediscovered by European travelers and archaeologists. In this image, captured in 1908, we see a donkey-drawn cart making its way along a dusty street lined with ancient columns. The ruins, now a popular tourist destination, are a stark contrast to the modern train in the background, hinting at the passage of time and the blending of history and modernity. The Ottoman Empire, which ruled Turkey during this period, referred to Ephesus as Ayasoluk or Ayassoulook. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the stories of the people who once walked these ancient streets and the rich history that continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
