Efes, Anadolu'nun batı kıyısında, bugünkü İzmir ilinin Selçuk ilçesi sınırları içerisinde bulunan, daha sonra önemli bir Roma kenti olan antik bir Yunan kentiydi. Klasik Yunan döneminde İyonya'nın on iki şehrinden biriydi. Kuruluşu Cilalı Taş Devri MÖ 6000 yıllarına dayanır. 1994'te UNESCO tarafından Dünya Mirası Geçici Listesi'ne dahil edilen Efes, 2015'te ise Dünya Mirası olarak tescil edildi.

The Temple of Artemis or Artemision, also known less precisely as the Temple of Diana, was a Greek temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis. It was located in Ephesus. One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it was completely rebuilt three times before its eventual destruction in 401 AD. Only foundations and sculptural fragments of the latest of the temples at the site remain.
Dünyanın yedi harikasından biri olan Artemis Tapınağı, antik dünyanın mermerden inşa edilmiş ilk tapınağı olup temelleri MÖ 7. yüzyıla kadar gitmektedir. Tanrıça Artemis'e ithafen Lidya kralı Croesus tarafından yaptırılan yapı, Yunan mimar Chersiphron tarafından tasarlanmış ve dönemin en büyük heykeltıraşları Pheidias, Polycleitus, Kresilas ve Phradmon tarafından yapılmış olan bronz heykellerle süslenmişti.
(Facade of the Library of Celsus)
The Library of Celsus is an ancient Roman building in Ephesus, Anatolia, now part of Selçuk, Turkey. It was built in honour of the Roman Senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus (completed sometime between 117 and 120 AD) by Celsus' son, Gaius Julius Aquila (consul, 110 AD). The library was "one of the most impressive buildings in the Roman Empire" and built to store 12,000 scrolls and to serve as a mausoleum for Celsus, who is buried in a crypt beneath the library in a decorated marble sarcophagus.[1][4] The Library of Celsus was the "third-largest library in the ancient world" behind both Alexandria and Pergamum.
Roma dönemi yapılarının en güzellerinden birisi olan yapı hem kütüphane, hem de mezar anıtı görevini üstlenmiştir. 106 yılında Efes valisi olan Celsius ölünce, oğlu kütüphaneyi babasının adına mezar anıtı olarak yaptırmıştır. Celsius'un lahdi kütüphanenin batı duvarı altındadır. Cephesi 1970-1980 yılları arasında restore edilmiştir. Kütüphanede kitap ruloları, duvarlardaki nişlerde saklanıyordu.

The House of the Virgin Mary is a Catholic and Muslim shrine located on Mt. Koressos (Turkish: Bülbüldağı, "Mount Nightingale"
in the vicinity of Ephesus, 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) from Selçuk in Turkey.
The house was discovered in the 19th century by following the descriptions in the reported visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774–1824), a Roman Catholic nun and visionary, which were published as a book by Clemens Brentano after her death. The Catholic Church has never pronounced in favour or against the authenticity of the house, but nevertheless maintains a steady flow of pilgrimage since its discovery. Anne Catherine Emmerich was Beatified by Pope John Paul II on October 3, 2004.
Bülbüldağı'nda İsa'nın annesi Meryem'in son yıllarını St. John ile birlikte geçirdiğine inanılan kilisedir.Hristiyanlar için hac yeridir ve bazı papalar tarafınan da ziyaret edilmiştir. Meryem'in burada ölü mezarının da Bülbüldağı'nda olduğu düşünülmesine karşın Kitab-ı Mukaddes'de anlatıldığı gibi Meryem'in mezarı dönemin selefkosunda bugünün Silifke'sinde olduğu inanılmaktadır.
(The Cave of the Seven Sleepers, Ephesus, Turkey.)
The Seven Sleepers of Ephesus are legendary people in a story of a group of youths who hide inside a cave outside the city of Ephesus around 250 AD, to escape a persecution. The king forced all his kingdom to worship idols and whoever did not would be killed. These men escaped as their faith in God (their belief varies by regional origin) was strong, and they refused to worship idols. The story is one of the many examples of the legend about a man who falls asleep and years after wakes up to find the world changed.
Bizans döneminde mezar kilisesi haline getirilmiş olan bu yer, Geç Roma imparatorlarından Decius zamanında putperestlerin zulmünden kaçan yedi Hristiyan gencin Panayır Dağı eteklerinde sığındıkları rivayet edilen mağara olduğuna inanılır. Dünya üzerinde ilgili mağaranın kendi sınırları içinde olduğunu iddia eden 33 kent olmasına karşın Hristiyan kaynaklarının çoğuna göre kent hristiyanlarca kutsal sayılan Efes'tir.

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
