Tecam, a Spanish publisher asked me to virtually reconstruct the famous Celsus library. The rendering of the library will illustrate the Ephesus part of the book series ‘La aventura de la arqueología’ from Tecam, RBA, National Geographic.

amazıng work.well done
I have visited Ephesus and the place is totally astounding. Your virtual reconstruction is awesome. What a magnificent place it must have been when originally constructed. Your work is superb and a real credit to your amazing talent.
Thank you for sharing and bringing this magnificent library to life
Amazing
How do you know it was painted with red? Are there historic al writings saying that, or was it the artist’s choice? It would be interesting to know for all your reconstructions…
Thanks!
There are no records about the colors that I know of, the red and white is one of many coloring possibilities.
Would it be possible to reconstruct the interior virtually?
These are great! Thank you

perfect….very similar to what I’ve been trying to describe for more
than 50 yrs as a guide. thanks……
ON THE STEPS OF THE MAIN ENTRANCE OF THAT ARCHEOLOGICAL LIBRARY, IN FRONT OF THE 5 TH COLUMN , JUST ON THE UPPER LAST STEP , I HAVE SEEN AN ENGRAVED : (PALM BIG HEBREW SIGNAL) “MENORAH” ; (CORRODED , NEAR TO DISAPPEAR.), MEANING THAT, IT WAS ENGRAVED BY A HIDED HEBREW ART WORKER DURING THE CONSTRUCTION.
—
I IMMEDIATELY WROTE “MENORAH” SHOVING>>> THE CORRODED SIGNAL TO ATTRACT THE ATTENTION OF THE ARCHEOLOGISTS. & FOLLOWED:;
THAN I SAW THAT IT HAS BEEN PROTECTED BY AN ALUMINUM CAGE WITH AN EXPLANATION PLAQUETTE WRITING “MENORA” ETC..
so awesome. congratulations!
How can I find out some of the scrolls that were once housed there?
The library was destroyed by fire. There was no records that survived.

Wonderful!
Congratulations!
Great work.
He was later appointed as proconsul, or governor, of Asia, the Roman province that covered roughly the same area as modern-day Turkey. Celsus’s son Aquila commissioned the library in his honor, though it was not completed until after Aquila’s death. An inscription records that Celsus left a large legacy of 25,000 denarii to pay for the library’s reading material.
Amazing!
Interior, please? 😀
Muhteşem
