"In the 4th century Laodicea emerged as the prominent Christian center ... and was the site of an important Church council ... Its prosperity continued into the fifth century, but it was devastated by an earthquake in 494 AD. The growth of Denizli nearby led to the immigration of the natives. Under Turkish rule it was named 'Ladik,' but it could not be revived. Gradually it lost its former prominence and was finally abandoned in the 13th century AD."

At some point an earthquake cleared the place out, but I don't know when that was. I'll try to find that information. Meantime, if anyone else knows, go ahead and chime in.

Are they saying it dates from the first century A.D. or later? Mike: I couldn’t determine from the article the dating of the Church itself.
