Why do they want to recreate it? Isn’t that for Las Vegas, where they make all the replicas?

I went to Ephesus in 2007 and loved it there. I thought it was pretty cool. Especially the library. It was hotter than Hades though (about 112 degrees F).

Sounds like the Turks will get a temple to worhip their very own comet! Diana/Astarte/Venus...

"The stone of Cronus at Delphi, the image of Diana at Ephesus, which, according to Acts (19:35), was the image which fell down from Jupiter, the stones of Amon and Seth at Thebes, were meteorites. Also the image of Venus on Cyprus was a stone which fell from the sky. The Palladium of Troy was a stone that fell on the earth "from Pallas Athene" (the planet Venus). The sacred stone of Tyre, too, was a meteorite related to Astarte, the planet Venus. "Traveling about the world, she [Astarte] found a star falling from air, or sky, which she taking up, consecrated on the holy island [Tyre]." At Aphaca in Syria a meteorite fell which "was thought to be Astarte herself," and a temple to Astarte was built there; festivals "were regularly timed to coincide with the appearance of Venus as the Morning or Evening Star."
