Introduction: 1. Although Ptolemy II wanted the Jewish scriptures translated into Greek in 282 BC for his father's (Ptolemy I) famous Library of Alexandra, the local Jews quickly made copies and started to gather to read the "Bible for themselves" and of course pray. The very first synagogue in the world was started when a small group of very excited Jews agreed to gather together in someone's home to pray and read the Greek Tanakh, which at this point consisted only of the first five books of Moses. The first and oldest word for a synagogue is the Greek word, "proseuche" and it means "house of prayer". The first synagogues were in "houses" (ie. HOUSE of prayer).

| 72: | First Century Synagogue Top Plans: Sardis, Asia 49 BC Christians in Jerusalem to flee its destruction in 70 AD. b. GPS: 38.488333° 28.040278° 2. With Josephus recording two imperial decrees (49 and 48 BC), we can be certain the Sardis synagogue existed before 49 BC, even as far back as 220 BC wherein Sardis joins a family of being among the earliest synagogues on earth. 3. The importance of the city of Sardis, as a commercial center of the former capital of the Persian empire which dates back as far as 536 BC, is matched by the Jewish synagogue in Sardis with a continuous 665 year occupation history (49 BC - 616 AD) 4. Although inscriptional evidence from Josephus Antiquities 14.235 makes the existence of a synagogue building certain in 49 BC, the synagogue likely dates back to the time of Seleucid King Antiochus III (223-187 BC) who was contemporary with Ptolemy III who are a major powerhouse in establishing diaspora synagogues.
