        Sorry, no. It's a legend about 7 Christians who hid in a cave near Ephesus
during the persecution of Decius (~250) & awoke ~150 years later when Christianity had
become the official religion of the Empire. Interestingly it got into the Qur'an -
showing the historical reliability of that document!
                                                Shalom,
                                                George
