So glad you mentioned Paul and the Bible. Nice to see where he preached and talked about. It would be nice to have a series of videos of where Paul traveled to and preached. Thanks.

My husband and I went to Ephesus back in 2012 and it was such a nice experience coming from America. Also, as African Americans, they treated us exceptionally well. Almost in amazement. At the Virgin mary House, the kids were seemingly on a field trip and when they saw me, they rushed up to me asking could they take my picture and wear my shades. I was in heaven. Our tour guide was also very flirty, I forgot his name, but it was a very common one. He asked me to be his wife. Maybe they thought we had some money, but I'd love to go back.

@@evaggeliag7845 As a person grown up in Turkish public education system, I was very well aware that Anatolia was home to numerous Greek city-states. I don't know where you get these ideas, Turks never claim that they were there since eternity and they know that the first time Turks entered Anatolia was 1071. Can't we just get over the past grievances? Why do we have to keep arguing over every single thing instead of working together to build something good for both sides? Whatever happened in the past, the people who were responsible are dead for a long time. Turks and Greeks have more in common than their differences. Do we really have to hate each other just because we were born on different sides of a border?

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 :) !

@raymesquite 9 месяцев назад

In ancient Rome, barbarian meant someone who either spoke a foreign language or lived outside the Roman Empire. Rick mentioned this in one of his other episodes. I don't think he meant uncivilized, unfriendly. I was in Ephesus last month, and they were definitely friendly. It was a great place and would love to visit again.
