    HELP! HELP! I live in an area where the water channels pass through. My goal is to study the aqueducts and channels, to explore and learn about this legendary system that is about 1700 years old. I have read almost all the articles related to this water system, and I have had the opportunity to visit most of the water channels (Kurşungerme, Ballıgerme, Büyükgerme, Kumarlıgerme). So, my friend, I am in love with this history and these structures. I stand and applaud the Roman engineers and craftsmen who built them back then. However, my brother, we have a big problem. I live in Danamandıra Village, where the first branch of the system starts in the 4th century. My parents are also from here. The problem stems from the fact that in the late 5th century, a second branch was added to the system starting from Bizye (Vize) Pazarlı, and this branch passes through our village. I have found the water source (PAŞA) where this branch originates. However, according to the map I saw from Mr. Bay Bayliss, I know that the central government is planning to open a new quarry at the exact transition point, since I live in the village. This would truly be a disaster for our region. Not only will our historical water channels be damaged, but our forests and trees will be destroyed as well. My request from you is this: Please send me the detailed map of Mr. Bay Bayliss. If I come across any channel traces in the area where the quarry will be opened, I can report the situation to the central government authorities and prevent the opening of the quarry that will destroy this nature. I beg you, please help the historical channel and the nature! The 7-hectare forest area, the historical S.O. channel, and our stream that provides water to the Terkos Dam are under threat. 🙏🙏 ---

    it is not directly related to the topic, but it is an open question for me. In what way were they able to depict Constantinople from above, if there were no airplanes at the time that could allow them to rise so high that they could accurately see the proportions and the shape of the peninsula.

      @gabihorvath3106 The City is visible from many different points from various hills inside and outside the walls, as well as from the sea by boat. This allows for someone to have a better view than most of the other famous cities in the world. Take at look at some historic images from Galata Tower on the webpage to give you an idea how it is possible (even if not totally accurate). www.thebyzantinelegacy.com/galata

    The water supply of Constantinople has always fascinated me. I understand how the water came in - gravity. But how was the water pulled OUT? How were the fountains, mentioned in the video, fed? How did homes access the cisterns? Buckets? Archimedes screw?

    • @TheByzantineLegacy
      @TheByzantineLegacy 5 місяців тому

      Generally speaking, the cisterns were above the main points of water distribution and then the secondary point, so it was supplied by gravity as a whole. Some places in the palace could have had more mechanical devices. For example Theophilus had automata in his mechanical throne, indicating the sophisticated level of technology used in the palace.
