What's going on deep in the Hagia Sophia?
Celestial Gülsensoy Director's Hagia Sophia, thanks to the love we are with him at least a part of solving the mysteries of its unique structure, will have a chance to hold 1700 annual tunnels and shafts of light. Budget documentary filming began in 1998, official permits and prevents the museum because of the ongoing restoration work, but completed and released 50-minute "deep inside the Hagia Sophia" with us in the fall. Karatas Levent cave project coordinator, this is a very important area for the project, which is the best way to search for cavers and divers Kurt'05 Peace brothers and an older brother committed mağaracılığa BU Philosophy 3 grade student with Pelin Kurt Ozan Çokdeğer'87 of Turkey, with underwater photographers crossed. Here is the information acquired at first hand the depths of the Hagia Sophia ...How did your story?
O.Ç.: Civil Engineering started in 1982, after a considerable period of time, ie higher license tamaladım was educated in the Bosphorus. Club activities mainly was too much, I learned first BÜFOK'ta photography. Nuri Bilge Ceylan, a very valuable professors who like Sarkis, became friends. Then I became a member and very dense BÜMAK'a mağaracılıkta spent six years, I did photography. A few have survived and after a dangerous experience, and have made the transition mağaracılığı BÜSAS'a leave from there we learned to dive. The busiest BÜMAK'tı training very well, but I bought three clubs. With so many adventures he lived a very good infrastructure had become an underwater photographer. Underwater caves into a fearless than I am, my background in photography, and to combine them was an interesting mix. Of course, my personality was too big kulüpçülüğün contributions. Clubs I've learned, things I have experienced even greater contribution to me, that I believe that academic education.
"Deep inside the Hagia Sophia," a documentary directed by how the ways of the Heavenly Gülensoy crossed with?
O.Ç.: Celestial friend has contacted us in 1999. He enters the contest many times, and either 1 or 2 Staring. Celestial also establishes a technical team for the project under the leadership of Levent Karatas. A confined area without losing your mind, a person can stay where they need without serinkanlılığını. For this project, you first have a very good diver, and then we need to be very strong because it is very narrow field psychogenesis. There are good diving, good photographers, there is a good cave, but there are very few people can do all three of them. Find me on it.
For the documentary, did you come down into wells under the Hagia Sophia, What have you lived there?
What was the stage of obtaining permission?
O.Ç.: obtaining permits was really hard. At that time his special permission of the Minister of Culture in 1998 and received İstemihan Talay'dı. According to our discoveries, we have approximately 10-15 unopened door. Cover only one of them had an iron which can be opened easily. Others are closed with a marble and lined with ancient stone around. We are one of them becomes the original cover of the lid opened and we entered the iron.
If you do not receive permission to enter the event only two well developed in this way?
O.Ç.: We are two of us access already permitted, and only one day had a risk of making mistakes. Make preparations, dived into the two wells. Our goal to find a gallery there. Of course, there are urban legends: there were competing, all the way ... I also Cistern çıkılıyormuş to be associated with the islands, is said to be connected with the palace halls, tunnels ... cavers in the areas we are very ignorant, but this is a classic. Is a tunnel of that length is not possible because the depressions. We are located in crypts with the purpose room and a gallery in the empty rooms, I've dreamed of discovering a passage under the water. In fact, you can not send down the net for the camera seemed to have but not an exact olamayabiliyor scaling. As a result, also did not find. Some breakdowns occurred on the walls of the well, then parts of these depressions can be turned off. That place is opened kazılsa or other covers maybe a gallery can be found.
Well, this covers What is the opening? Why are not allowed?
O.Ç.: Extensive research in the direction I think when officials do not request. One day they let us. Here I took off my hands, and some of the historical works they captured on videotape by the staff, they will see the documentary: British troops flasks, the Ottoman candles, it was a journey many beautiful things ... Officially date. Threw my head ... you're almost done and asked them indoors, and I have posted a throw into the well, the early work that arises. However, after cleansing the inside of wells, removal of the galleries of museums in terms of 3-5 to a very nice piece of sergilenebilinir even in the corridors of the Hagia Sophia. Perhaps, I say this as a civil engineer in St. Sophia's life-it will be longer. The time of opening of the shaft so that made up the drainage channels to drain the water and the foundation was to remain dry. High drainage channels not working now, so the water level is too high. Their work is very important for the future of the Hagia Sophia. In fact, we do more work done in this study and summary of their individual opening and must be cleared by an archaeological team.
Going down the well in parts of ...
O.Ç.: First enters will get a clearer image, with turbid water entering karışılacaktı second. Before entering into wells Peters draws a video to video documentary is important because we were caught. So, obviously not as successful as video capture of images.
What was the width of the wells?
O.Ç.: You enter the tunnel with a diameter of 50 cm below, and reaches a diameter of 90 cm-1 m tall goes down, we know it well. Built from stone, in places, formed depressions. Tems until the device is unable to, had our backs to the tubes. Hookah with a entered the procedure, with two tubes outside our weight kemerimize depended on a long hose. I bought a spare tube with me dive from the top of a problem may emerge if he left everything to him. There are gas compression, because poison gas was not much care about clean air coming from the outside. Lifting power is a concern for us in our kabarcıklarımızın uygulayabileceğiydi terrible. If there is a horizontal tunnel, and then lifting it with the power of the air is compressed in one place would have caused the collapse. But he did not have a horizontal tunnel, only after a time did not see eye-eye, blinded in a dive.
How long have you no one would not fit in these regions?
O.Ç.: we entered the first time since its inception. Marble cover was the one that first entered the wells, and approached the house relatively clean derinliğindeydi 10.5 m. We stayed here for 25 minutes. Skeleton of a cat greeted us, a wall up to grip. There was nothing from the Ottoman period, there were from the Byzantine period. Some test pieces, pieces of glass, a wooden shovel handle looks like it was yesterday thrown in, for example, but I threw my hand, now disbanded, was dust. Yet there was something new, such as discarded kibble such as standing, and he broke up.
The things you mention honors went to records?
O.Ç.: Only one of two magazines, appeared in interviews that time, a place hardly passed out of her.
Very curious about another issue that affects you so much, but after entering the wells in a place never before bahsetmediğiniz Is there anything? But sit down and think of when you think or remember the fall out of the wells?
O.Ç.: It affected me most was the cat: cat Byzantine. Fallen, and died there did not come out. He was so sad, like a journey, especially by the second hole. It derinliğindeydi 6 m, there is a little mixed up silt. Officially opened easily in the lid that is used as a rubbish heap of history is obviously the ground is washed, broken everything thrown to him. There is a chronology, a chronology of the wells, but starting in 1917. I also understand that mataralarından soldiers, British soldiers as holy water here has fallen into the water and about 10-15 flasks filling handle, had fled. Remove some of them and then gave up. Well water was cloudy, but my eye I could see very clearly the date 1917 on yaklaştırınca flasks and then they began to cruise date. A little more eşeledim the Ottoman period of the output lamps. It has a large oil lamps, candles burned in them. Broken glass thrown there, the ones he put into reverse. After a little more output and the Byzantine period eşeleyince test pieces in the windows ... you can see seven colors, plenty of air bubbles in the ancient windows ... And I've found all of these 5-minute mixing. One of the incidents I think what impressed me most have been taken a prisoner there, was the shackles attached to the legs. I think that someone or something, but there did not find the bone thrown alive in Byzantine times. One is 6 feet, the other 10-meter wells that is to say that I have quite a history ... 60 years ago, once tried to evacuate the water. Second largest fire department arrived and could not beat the water pump, water coming from the iMIS crackles. Historical monument by the method of revealing how little hook or something, but now it does not know anyone. In addition, after diving 2 Once we entered the rooms tiny tunnels. Is there a priest from the graves graves graves of the emperor is exhibited, and removed some things from there. But once, when the Republican establishment probably ...
The burial room was your experience?
O.Ç.: burial chamber of Emperor made an impression on us, we visited these places with a thousand and one request. There are wandering around a huge gallery of Hagia Sophia. By Byzantine masters of stone built with stone work is very good and it later closed off the diagonal with a very rough masonry. Subsequently sealed in a gallery where she going, some of the rooms open. But very sorry to be explored. We are risking our lives here for the first time we entered. Our friends entered the narrow tunnels, methane, CO could accumulate. Archeology is not at the table, it is a tight budget, infrastructure and equipment must be entered. This study will hopefully be a wake-up bell. The number of tourists coming to Turkey and Istanbul will double to do it. We are always these successes the university, clubs owe. Otherwise there is no possibility I could not do them today dalamaz These raises.
Who took part in this project, was the support?
O.Ç.: We plunged in 1998, 1999, NTV was the sponsor. The economic crisis is so important because of the shelf, stood and took photos of a project that was lost on the shelves. Today, no pictures, just video tapes left. Receive support from the Ministry of Culture project is now complete heavenly friend. But this time could not be allowed to dive, the tunnels allow for renewed. Vestibules where danıştılar me to enter the tunnels, enter the map, who will bring in the best way there, they said. Of course BUMAK. We established with former colleagues BÜMAK'lı Boğaziçi University Cavern Research Society (BÜMAD) 'What have directed them. Celestial friend was also extremely pleased with the director. Drew maps of very nice, can not finish smth. However, these studies have now merged with the previous studies and the Ministry of Culture with the support of 15 000 dvd copy ready for the documentary. "Deep inside the Hagia Sophia" as a documentary to compete at the Antalya Film Festival.
Search efforts are after the dive, but where Ozan Bey Gülensoy director manages to get permission in 2009 for a documentary than a day. Who were there that day and the BU Peace Kurt'05 3 Department of Philosophy Pelin grader Kurt'tan listen ...
How did your story?
BK: I got into Computer Engineering department and the license was in 2000 I went BÜMAK'a. Kırmayarak a friend went to a club and going to the department he was going. Roughly 6-7 years, continuous BÜMAK'tayım, I work actively mağaracılıkla. BÜMAK'lı Two years ago, as graduates, will gather under the roof of us that we need a legal platform we have established for the BÜMAD'ı. With a continuous internal Icey BUMAK, making joint trips.
"Deep inside the Hagia Sophia," How did the project for you?
BK: I have such a project in June 2009, the Hagia Sophia said, and I will be looking for volunteer cavers immediately agreed. Can fill in any cave at any time, but once in a life people will have the opportunity to enter the tunnel of the Hagia Sophia.
If this proposal BÜMAD'a is brought to you directly? Because everyone wants to take part in such a project, why should you?
B.K.: Obviously some happened luckily. Museums capture only that day off Monday because it's supposed to do. Other friends work be eligible to participate in the actions that day, I came to this project. Or it would be suitor, is really too much.
Can you share those experiences with us on Monday?
BK: Celestial Bey and the Bey and Levent had a meeting two days before the told us what to do, was the plan. Our materials and prepared a day ahead, we met early on Monday morning. One day I had permission, it is also within working hours. He read through the tunnels within the period, and look at what news he çıkartacaktık maps.
Map out how the tunnels work is going on?
BK: Actually, no one meter or a meter removed by laser. There is a method commonly used by civil engineers: identify particular stations, the stations are analyzed between the length of the measure and compass directions. The tunnels continued on the same surface. We have four people we were, getting our Yogi friend of us, I work in this map. We visited and evaluated the tunnels.
What about you, deep in the Hagia Sophia lived Pelin?
PK: In the meantime, tucked into the inside of Aydin and I were walking in general. Other college friends also can be a member of BÜMAD'a, Aydin BÜMAD also a member of the İTÜMAK'tan friend.
As pointed out by Ozan Bey inside the gas and there is the danger of poisoning. Have you checked how this situation?
PK: We have learned the previous studies should be how to control this gas, there were already inside the holes. If I had not entered the tunnels, I noticed that we look carefully at the surface can be seen etmeyecektim have holes inside the Hagia Sophia. For example, a tiny hole next to the gate of Hagia Sophia, downward, and he goes down the tunnels.
BK: So you can see below where human feet above the tunnels was wandering, could hear voices.
Entering these tunnels anywhere in the Hagia Sophia?
PK: In fact, within the church there are a few covers. There are a few cover under the main dome, and all covers are also a part of the same tunnel. We are fully entered the Hagia Sophia at the entrance door. The first place we entered was a large room quite large. The ceiling is very low and there was a beautiful arches built with bricks. Tunnels at both ends of the room continues. These parts of the tunnels, because we are not first-in, these lands are used for electrical wiring. There are a lot of inside wiring. In fact, we crawled around the cables, we continued on our way, sometimes the walk was not included.
Did you come down to 4 people at the same time honors the tunnels?
BK: Yes, in fact spacious tunnels, Pelin Aydın and taking more images. We are actually two different teams at the same time we were measuring with Yogi constantly indoors. Of course someone was going to the rear of the front.
PK: There is only one way inside a well, there are many other ways.
If you do not is left where?
PK: Baris Yaman everywhere for measuring inputs, we looked for Aydin to capture more interesting places. Was not enough time to places, but we can not go to. The interior is very dark, but in some places a lot of us moved away, and halogen cable next to us did not have enough. So if some of the places we had to miss.
What was the best moment you had trouble?
BK: We are trying to discover in the room very difficult. Cable paved segments which places a very human nature, there was really an issue. But then we came to a place and there are increasingly began to resemble the cave walls normally encountered soil. Vulgar had crept even a place to climb dragging. We also note that quite a way down because of it there göçertebilirdik. We hope these studies will more ...
