120 years ago the first permission was granted for archaeological
excavations in Ephesos. The signature of Emperor Franz Josef I laid
the foundation for one of the most prominent excavation enterprises
in the world and to this day it has lost none of its significance
for science or its fascination for visitors. The pulsating,
cosmopolitan metropolis of antiquity may have turned into a site of
ruins, but here, more than anywhere else, archaeology has succeeded
in bringing past eras into the focus of both science and the
public. Today more than 2 million people visit Ephesos every year
indisputable proof of the fascination and interest that earlier
cultures can arouse as well as confirmation for the relevance and
topicality of archaeological research. In their joint book project,
archaeologist Sabine Ladstatter and photographer Lois Lammerhuber
venture behind the historical front. Central for them is the
economic role of Ephesos as antique trading town, modern
archaeological enterprise and visitor magnet. Text in English,
German and Turkish."
