Cause of Destruction of Temple of Artemis was.

The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was destroyed through multiple incidents. It was initially plundered for its valuable materials and artifacts by various invaders seeking riches. Later, in 356 BC, it was deliberately set on fire (arson) by a man named Herostratus who sought fame through destroying the beautiful temple. There is no historical evidence of Crusader arson as the Crusades occurred centuries later, and earthquake was not the primary cause of its destruction.
