Ephesus, Turkey — Archaeologists near the ancient city of Ephesus have uncovered a remarkable site believed to be directly linked to the Apostle Paul’s missionary journeys. The discovery includes a stone table with an inscription quoting Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, pottery bearing Christian symbols, and a gathering place likely used by early Christians.
Paul, one of Christianity’s most influential figures, traveled extensively throughout the Roman Empire, spreading the teachings of Jesus. This site offers tangible evidence of his presence in the region and sheds light on the early Christian communities he helped establish.
“This is one of the most significant finds in early Christian archaeology,” said Dr. Hasan Ozturk, an expert in New Testament history. “It reinforces the historical accuracy of Paul’s travels as described in the Bible.”
The site is being preserved as a historical landmark, and researchers are continuing to study the artifacts to learn more about the lives of early Christians.
