The Aqueduct of Valens and the Water Supply System of Byzantine Constantinople
มุมมอง 409หลายเดือนก่อน
Since Constantinople lacked sufficient fresh water, aqueducts were absolutely essential to Constantinople. An extensive aqueduct system was built in Late Antiquity to help supply water to the growing population of the city. #istanbul #constantinople #byzantine #water #aqueduct #architecture You can see more videos like this one on Patreon.

Good narration, excellent visuals, thanks!
Wish I could one day visit the lands of Anatolia. Until then your videos are a great replacement
Byzantine is beautiful.
Leave it to the turks to destroy everything.
beautiful
Beautiful
I see mystras..i immediately click like! Thanks
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?
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.
@@TheByzantineLegacy thank you! By the way...just LOVE your work. And tell Yasin that "dean said hello" if you ever see him.
Excellent video, thanks for the narration. It adds a tremendous amount of information.
The glory of Greece
One of my favorite spots in Greece. Partially restored - this complex is one of the few places which give you an idea of what Byzantine churches looked like, prior to the Turkish conquest. One of the best preserved churches in existance.
Muy bello ❤❤❤
Did this marvel finally reopened as a museum like before? What work has been done? On the outside it looks very nice (though it was before too) and has something been done on the mosaics ?
It is a mosque again, the brickwork outside has been replaced, I guess ( but not sure) they installed new lightning systems in the narthexes. The main area is closed for visiting because it's a actual mosque now. Some people say you can go there, sometimes you get send a way by staff.
Were the faces deliberately painted over?
I enjoy your videos but I would enjoy them more with narration or even just a subscript running on the screen.
This is just a short. There are some videos with narration on public, but there are many more available on Patreon. www.patreon.com/thebyzantinelegacy
@@TheByzantineLegacy Thanks for the reply.
I’m glad you referenced the deer. I believe these symbolise the Tract sung on Holy Saturday (when Neophytes are traditionally baptised) Sicut Cervus.
Looks more like a church to me 😎
Less than a minute of research would have taught you that this was in later Byzantine times St Thecla of the Blachernes Palace ('Αγία Θέκλα των Βλαχερνών), probably on the site of an earlier Christus Pantepoptes (Χρίστος Παντεπόπτης) church. Don't you care about the minimal necessity, for any pretence at intellectual honesty, to research it seriously and mention the history in your written comments and in the goddam title of your video! Occulting the Greek and Byzantine past is a strange way of underlining the Byzantine legacy.
Still looks pretty much like it did ten years ago - except for the railing on the eastern tower.
Thank you
Thank you for close ups for those with bad eyesight and for information about Emperors who promoted and built these holy places Alexios Komnenos of First Crusade Era but why do you not show some nuns at prayer it looks so abandoned Can you make more videos of Emperors and their foundations and also link up to Videos in this instanceeon Pope Urban II Who answered Emperor call for help and did all he could while he lived to help East against her enemies So much negative emphasis on Latin Conquest forgets that for many years both West and East were united For Example 6 th Ecumenical Council where both Pope Agatho notice Greek name and Saint Maximos were in total union Which blessed and prospered both West and East

Fascinating . . . and well executed
People in Western Society you will not build around this historic structure😢 people in other nations fuck your historical structure will build around it😂 you see we do not touch it it's okay why you complain it's still there😂
20 seconds ads for short video? 👎🏼
The juxtaposition of this ancient structure between 2 modern buildings is FASCINATING!!!!!
ConstantiNiple 😅
I am living many years in Istanbul what I understand is Ottoman did nothing other then some mosques, and from ottoman to this day Roman artifacts were deliberately damaged to led Ottomans looks nice, as I see all infrastructure was coming from Romans and whats funny is todays mosques all is a bad copies of Hagia Sofia- other isuue; all over the Turkey we see Roman or Seljuk lu artifacts not any ottoman, its weird but this is what i see
Osmanlı devleti Anadolu devleti olmaktan ziyade Balkan devletiydi çünkü… dikkatli bakarsak çoğu bayındırlık hizmeti Rumeli’nde yapılmış, Anadolu’nun uç köşeleri özellikle de duraklama sonrası maalesef “kendi haline” bırakılmıştır.. bundan dolayı Selçuklu, Roma ve hatta antik medeniyetlerin kalıntıları Anadolu’da daha çok görülmekte Osmanlı’nın kalıntılarına kıyasla
No reconstruction intents for the frieze??
If the people that own this thing knew how to they would be selling advertising space on it
over 10 meters in heighth? ok so what's the height? lol
Thank you for the fascinating presentation and imagery!
Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
We are so lucky that the information on the column was recorded barely a century before it was brought down.
