Paullus -
Thank you. Could you provide some references for me so I can read further? I'm especially curious about the "earliest Greek temple anywhere" and the amber find.
For anyone who cares to note it, the theory on the bull testicles is found here:
Knibbe, Dieter. “Via Sacra Ephesiaca: New Aspects of the Cult of Artemis Ephesia.” Ephesos: Metropolis of Asia. Helmut Koester, ed. Valley Forge, PA: Trinity Press International, 1995 (p.142).
In addition to what you mention, some stones from the Artemision were used in the Temple of St. John in Ephesus, and can still be seen in the (now ruined) walls there.
This is referenced in: Price, Simon. Religions and the Ancient Greeks. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge Univ. Press, 1999 (p.65); and in Scherrer, Peter, ed. Ephesus: The New Guide. Turkey, 2000, (p.54-55)
