The Seven Sleepers (Turkish: Yedi Uyuyanlar or Ashabı Kehf; in Arabic:اصحاب الکھف As-hab al Kahf means companions of the cave) of Ephesus was a group of Christian youths who hid inside a cave outside the city of Ephesus around 250 AD, to escape a persecution of Christians being conducted during the reign of the Roman emperor Decius. Having fallen asleep inside the cave, they purportedly awoke approximately 180 years later during the reign of Theodosius II. The cave is located in the Selçuk district of İzmir Province.
