Ephesus, last built in 100 C.E.
One of the oldest, cosmologically correct images of the Ephesial Ar-Themis. Ephesus, meaning "moon city", is an ancient city founded and named by the black, Phoenician, Amazon warriors, on behalf of the African queen mothers who fled Africa during the rise of patriarchy. They settled along the Aegean and Ionian islands more than 3,000 years before the (white) Greeks.
Lydian traveler and geographer, Pausanias (150 C.E.), tells us that "All cities call Diana, Ephesia; and men privately honor this [African] goddess beyond all other divinities." Later, the Africans named her "Ar-themis", because of her miraculous healing powers, and sometimes Ophis (queen of serpents). She was the main tutelary divinity of the ascetic black, Hebrew Ophites, and her order of serpent priestesses the Ophis.
