OK, ya caught me with the headline. I’m thinking, “Ptolemy was in TENNESSEE?!?!?!”...

Coastlines changed DRAMATICALLY.

I visited Ephesus some years ago. When Jesus was on the Cross he commissioned John to take care of His mother. John did. But John was an evangelist and traveled.

When John traveled to modern day Turkey, it was to spread the Word of God. He went to the PORT city of Ephesus, with Mary. I saw the stone house where Mary lived while they were in Ephesus.

There was an inscription there that some folks in the Midwest (USA) were the ones taking care of the site, in honor of Jesus' mother.

I knew there was a city in Tennessee that numbered 50K residents near Pinson, Tennessee that corresponded to the dates listed. Well, Ptolemy wasn't there I guess.
