I though she packed her bags and moved to modern day Turkey, near Ephesus

True, but "wilderness" probably refers to monastic lifestyle rather than a geographical desert. Please post the pictures.

Probably????

More guess work, speculation and *sacred tradition*?

How about posting some Scripture to support it, something solid, clear, and unambiguous?

Oh. Thanks for reminding me!

This is where she lived, according to tradition:

And as a bonus, this is where John wrote Revelation. You go inside this building and it takes you down into a cave where he lived.

Where the good citizens of Ephesus rioted because of Paul:

 photo 230.jpg Acts 19:28 When they heard this they were enraged and were crying out, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!" 29 So the city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed together into the theater, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians who were Paul's companions in travel. 30 But when Paul wished to go in among the crowd, the disciples would not let him. 31 And even some of the Asiarchs, who were friends of his, sent to him and were urging him not to venture into the theater. 32 Now some cried out one thing, some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and most of them did not know why they had come together. 33 Some of the crowd prompted Alexander, whom the Jews had put forward. And Alexander, motioning with his hand, wanted to make a defense to the crowd. 34 But when they recognized that he was a Jew, for about two hours they all cried out with one voice, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!" 35 And when the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, "Men of Ephesus, who is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Artemis, and of the sacred stone that fell from the sky?
