Have you thought of extending your trip to Ephesus since it's not far from Greece? Maybe you have been there already?

Don't forget the pics I have never been to Austria.

I love ancient history...

Athens is a gem.

I would love to visit Baalbek and the Ellora caves, rumour has it the monks were bored and chipped away the rock in creative boredom

Hello friends. I did some research about Jesus' time and shortly after. I found something odd that was buried in history.

I always enjoyed learning about our earth history, especially about our Christian history. I know that after Jesus ascension Paul was transfered to Rome, Italy. And continued there. John also went on. And of course Jerusalem and even more ancient places exist.

Would love to hear of your travels @Pathfinder7 , @Debp happy to see you around, @LittleTuneAlright good to hear from you.

There were two events that happened to Rome's luxury cities as I suspect they were. While some of the historical sites are famous, there are some that are infamous perhaps. There were troubling times back then and the lord prevailed and his children are blessed.

Two sites that are probably less mentioned are here:

The first is of course Pompeii and an excavation of that event was strange and troubling.

Pompeii | History, Volcano, Map, Population, Ruins, & Facts | Britannica

Pompeii, preserved ancient Roman city in Campania, Italy, that was destroyed by the violent eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE. The circumstances of its destruction preserved Pompeii’s remains as a unique document of Greco-Roman life. Learn more about Pompeii, including its history and excavations.

The second is what may be the lost city of Atlantis (Baia) which also has some pictures.

Baiae | Italy, Map, History, & Facts | Britannica

Baiae, ancient city of Campania, Italy, located on the west coast of the Gulf of Puteoli (Pozzuoli) and lying 10 miles (16 km) west of Naples and 2 1 2 miles (4 km) from Cumae, of which it was a dependency. According to tradition, Baiae was named after Baios, the helmsman of Ulysses. In 178 bce the

Does anyone know of the other apostles travels and sites as well as where they all ended up?

Hello Raccoon. Nice to meet you.

I know Ephesus as Deb mentioned. its a fabulous Place I went last year (that was my second time there, Turkey)

We was going to go to Patmos (which is a small Greek island where John was apparently stationed at one point and possibly wrote the book of John there?? not sure how true it is)



You can see the christian cross symbolism and some greek writing on the stone pillar at Ephesus.

And of course, Cyprus, which is equally as beautiful with great mosaics of the christian faith which is available to see at Paphos.

Not sure of any others.

Blessings in Christ
