Lots of movies...but slept most afternoon!...caught the end of Titanic...those cold final scenes of blue frost are echoed outside as a real winter storm this time has come along....the passengers are being consoled by a minister...and I heard the "no more sea"...
Story of the Yangtze on now....achaeology problems from the rising water...
brb...
hmm...that bit is from Revelations...and one blogger ties it in with Ezekiel...brb
ephesus...want to remember that...Rabbi is on and in the ephesus theater telling story of Paul and gospels...Artemis was worshiped here...but there was someone else too...Ezekiel 47 seems to have nothing to do with "no more sea" but rather a metaphor of a new old home for the twelve tribes!...brb...

It was described by Antipater of Sidon, who compiled a list of the Seven Wonders:
I have set eyes on the wall of lofty Babylon on which is a road for chariots, and the statue of Zeus by the Alpheus, and the hanging gardens, and the colossus of the Sun, and the huge labour of the high pyramids, and the vast tomb of Mausolus; but when I saw the house of Artemis that mounted to the clouds, those other marvels lost their brilliancy, and I said, "Lo, apart from Olympus, the Sun never looked on aught (anything) so grand". [1]

that from wikipedia...brb...
Well, here the National Geographic compares the old and new seven wonders...and that's their pic...
There's another sacred place where a figure not unlike Jesus was worshiped...one of those sacred springs...epheseus?...brb...same place...nope...lost it...have to make a note!
Some lone nut burned the temple down and legend has it that Alexander was born the same night and he began the temple's reconstruction during his adventures.
I should never be embarassed!...my blog hereabouts is tame compared to the rampant punditry in the weblogs!!
