Probably demolished completely when either the Persians in the 6th century or muzzards in any number of church demo campaigns. Then fill dumped and after some time other buildings were constructed.

Until the late 1700’s, the Sphinx was buried up to its neck in sand.

Two thousand years of geography and climate changes.
Ephesus, in modern day Turkey, used to be on the shores of the Aegean sea. Now it is is several miles inland.
With all the storms throughout those centuries entire CITIES can be buried.

Google: Ephesus was a center of travel and commerce with its one of the greatest seaports of the ancient world.
The port of Ephesus has silted up over the years and Ephesus is now about 6 miles inland from the coast. The area around Ephesus and harbor turned into a swamp.
