Squuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeee!
The Temple of Diana of Ehpesus is going to be rebuilt in Turkey! One of the ancient Seven Wonders of the World no less!!!
I find this news to be exciting to me in two ways.
1. My Hellenistic Recon NeoPagan (or whatever I wanna call me) soul is filled with joy that such an event is taking place! I can not easily describe the thrill and the simple description of rebuilding the temple means, it's just so wonderful it makes me giddy!
2. It will be a cultural and architectural achievement! I obvously am a lover of Hellenistic Architecture and Art. I am also intriged how with modern day tools the builders will make an ancient day temple, especially one as magnificent as one of the Seven Wonders.
Of the quotes in the Turkish Daily, this one caught my eye the most!
"When completed, the temple will not be a copy or an imitation of the original Artemis but the Artemis itself. And its sisters of the past will set their eyes on it with pride and emulation.” -Dr. Atılay İleri, the founder of the Selçuk Artemis Culture, Arts and Education Foundation
