      Thank you for this excellent video.
      We just returned from a Viking cruise vacation and Ephesus was my favorite tour!
      We were not able to enter the homes that were still being carefully excavated. I am so happy you were able to show us what was inside!!!

      Another suggestion for those who visit this place is to visit the ancient city of Aizanoi. Excavations are still in progress. An area of 100 square meters is being excavated around the temple of Zeus. not immediately but maybe in the next 2 years a must visit

      When the Turkish tour guide mentions Roman ruins, she means Eastern Romans, who were also known as Greecians, Ephusus as you know is a Greecian word and so are the Scriptures on the walls in Greecian (Greek). Basically all the ruins in Turkey were Greecian. The Turks arrived much, much later.
      Troy, Ephusus, Smyrni, Cappadocia, Gallipoli, Anatolia etc, were all Greecian 🎉

      At 0:40 the people you mentioned as BARBARIANS are Turks who migrated to Anatolia from the Siberian Steppes because of illness, cruel mongolian invasion, lack of food etc… I highly disagree with the the idea of pre renaissance era Turks are barbarians. Turks also have a deep culture and respect all other cultures. For example, people in most of the places invaded by Ottoman Empire were free of their religion, and this was in 14th century, in which time freedom of tought not existed. If they were barbarians, city wouldn't exist today, they would ruin everything, because most of the buildings were useless for Turkish people life style at that time… As a Turkish Engineer, I felt very sad about the word 'barbarians'. We are not barbarians nor most of the old Turkish Societies. We are just people like you. Thank you for great video 🙂 !
