										Did you know that fact about Ephesus?
										But did you know about the place outside 
										of Ephesus called garbage heap (trash 
										heap)? According to the historical 
										records unwanted babies - mostly girls 
										-due to the belief to the Artemis 
										goddess (Artemis was the goddess of 
										fertility both giving blessings to woman 
										willing to have a child and also 
										protecting from the child birth, as 
										every third woman was likely to die 
										during the child birth) were left in the 
										isolated area to die. The most 
										healthiest of them were picked up by the 
										slave traders and used to be slaves or 
										prostitutes.
