In late September 2021, a Reddit user posted a virtual recreation of what was described as the ruins of a street in Ephesus, a city in ancient Greece. (What's left of Ephesus is in modern-day Turkey.) The virtual recreation was done by Hungarian artist Adam Nemeth, who uses his skills to visually replicate what centuries-old structures may have looked like at their zenith. Nemeth's illustration of Curetes Street, which is dated 2017, can be found on his website: https://virtualreconstruction.com/wp/?p=615 Curetes Street was a major thoroughfare in Ephesus, which was, as the Encyclopedia Britannica notes, the most important Greek city in Ionian Asia Minor, and was founded around 600 B.C. The city ruins lie near the modern Turkish town of Selƈuk. According to Alaturkaturkey.com, a travel site: The Prytaneion was the symbolic center of a city in ancient Greece, which housed a public hearth which contained an eternal flame. Other landmarks illustrated by Nemeth include the Library of Celsus, also in Ephesus, and Whitby Abbey, a 7th-century monastery in the U.K. that inspired Bram Stoker to write Dracula.
