Photographer’s Note

The legend about this place tell us that the "Seven Sleepers" were seven young men who had been walled up in a cave during the persecutions under Decius (c.250). They fell asleep, miraculously waking up around 435 in the time of Theodosius II.
The seven men wandered into the city of Ephesus, amazed at all the churches and the freedom of worship for Christians. The Sleepers later died naturally (and permanently) and were buried in the cave in which they had slept.

Interesting story and a unique tomb. Good light management with the detail preserved in the highlight & shadow. I like the look & textures of the stone due to many centuries of erosion. TFS. Regards. Latiff.

Hello
J'aime beaucoup la photo et la légende qui va avec. Un patrimoine qu'on partage volontiers avec le reste du monde.
L'ensemble est bien présenté. Les murs de briques sont bien romaines et le sarcophage est exemplaire par sa taille et sa forme.
