00:00Today, I'm taking you to Istanbul, Turkey, the birthplace of the Islamic world.
00:20Turkey is thought to be an Islamic country,
00:28but Istanbul was once the capital of the Christian Empire for about a thousand years.
00:37This time, it's a special episode.
00:53I'm your host, Ryohei Suzuki, and I'm on my way to the site.
00:58There's something I want to see in the city I'm visiting for the first time.
01:05Compared to Istanbul, I think Istanbul used to be the center of the world in history.
01:18I want to see the ruins of the Christian era in Byzantium.
01:26The Eastern Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire.
01:31It was a Christian state that carried on the culture of ancient Rome.
01:46A special episode covering two weeks.
01:50The first episode will follow the traces of the Eastern Roman Empire.
02:02Istanbul, a city that spans Europe and Asia.
02:08The World Heritage Area is on the western side of the coast, on the European side.
02:16Because it's Istanbul, there's something I want to do.
02:24It's to see it from the sky.
02:29This is Asia, and this is Europe.
02:35I want to see it from a distance.
02:39Merhaba.
02:42I wanted to look at it from the sky and feel the contours of it.
02:50After flying from the European side, I could see the border with Asia, the coast.
03:00This is the Cosporus coast.
03:04It's narrower than I thought.
03:08The width of the coast is as wide as a big river.
03:14The width of the coast is as wide as a big river.
03:20The width is about 700 meters in a narrow place.
03:26Asia is in front of me.
03:31Istanbul, the World Heritage Area
03:36On the European side of the coast, there's the World Heritage Area, the Istanbul Historic District.
03:47It's like a cape surrounded by the sea.
04:01It's lined up in a straight line.
04:08Two buildings symbolizing the historic district are lined up behind the Matenro.
04:16In front of them is the mosque, a mosque of Islam.
04:21Behind it is Hagia Sophia, which was built during the Eastern Roman Empire in the 6th century as a Christian cathedral.
04:40The Eastern Roman Empire was the capital for about 1,000 years.
04:46The center of the movie is Ancient Rome.
04:54At the end of the 4th century, the Roman Empire split into the East and West.
04:59Constantinople became the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire.
05:04It's now Istanbul.
05:08When the Western Roman Empire was destroyed, the Eastern Roman Empire expanded its territory to the Mediterranean and became the Great Empire.
05:20In Istanbul, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, the civilization inherited from Ancient Rome flourished even more.
05:37The traces of that flourishing are still found all over the city.
05:50Hagia Sophia was the world's largest cathedral when it was built.
05:56There is a hidden relic next to it.
06:11I am walking on the sidewalk.
06:26I'm heading to a building that doesn't look like a relic.
06:35Actually, there is a mysterious space ahead.
06:57It really does look like a cathedral.
07:08This space, also known as the underground cathedral, was a reservoir built during the Eastern Roman Empire.
07:17This place used to be filled with water.
07:21It was able to store 80,000 tons of water that would save the lives of the people.
07:28It's amazing how they were able to build such a large underground cathedral.
07:45It's open!
07:48It's open!
07:52It's over here.
07:59It's Medusa, right?
08:05Medusa is a Greek mythological monster.
08:10She has the power to turn objects into stones.
08:15But why is it upside down?
08:19It may be related to the rise of the reservoir.
08:28Several underground reservoirs were built in the city.
08:33Because Istanbul, where there is no big river, was suffering from a lack of water.
08:39This waterway was built in the 4th century.
08:44The farthest water source was more than 120 kilometers away.
08:56The technique of adding a little dilution and pouring water.
09:01It was inherited from Ancient Rome.
09:10The waterway was built in the 4th century.
09:23This reservoir was built to be completed as soon as possible.
09:29Stone pillars were collected from ancient temples in various places.
09:40Therefore, the length of the pillars varies.
09:46To match the height, sculptures are also used as a base.
09:55There are a total of 336 pillars.
10:01Some of them are piled up.
10:10It's hard for people at that time to match the pillars.
10:16I thought so.
10:19It's hard to get all these pillars.
10:26It's not perfect.
10:31It's not perfect, but it conveys the humanity of the people at that time.
10:42I like this kind of ruins because I can see the trial and error.
10:50The reservoir is waterproofed with bricks and mortar.
10:57This technique was also inherited from Ancient Rome.
11:19This is the ruins of the building with the orange roof.
11:28Please look under the orange roof.
11:36It's not just a cliff.
11:39It's a huge ruin.
11:41TURKEY
11:47Istanbul, Turkey.
11:51This is the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, which has existed for about 1,000 years.
12:01I heard that there are hidden ruins inherited from Ancient Rome.
12:12TURKEY
12:20This is it.
12:24This is the edge of the stadium.
12:30This is the arch.
12:33It looks like a stadium.
12:36The ruins of the stadium, completed in the 4th century.
12:41TURKEY
13:00The upper building was built after the stadium was no longer in use.
13:11TURKEY
13:14The stadium had a long, narrow shape.
13:19The road in the back was once a track.
13:24Here was a competition hosted by the empire.
13:29TURKEY
13:37At that time, it was a stadium like this.
13:4230,000 spectators could be accommodated.
13:47It was a horse-drawn carriage race to enthuse the people.
13:53To give pleasure and stability to society.
13:58That is the way of rule that continues from Ancient Rome.
14:08The horse-drawn carriage race was called a hippodrome.
14:13TURKEY
14:20I came here without knowing the existence of the hippodrome.
14:27I was surprised.
14:30But after knowing it, I can imagine the building that continued to the other side.
14:38I can imagine the spectators and the horse-drawn carriage.
14:45I can't imagine it with just one thing.
14:50It's amazing.
14:58In the 15th century, the Christian empire, Eastern Rome,
15:03was destroyed by the Muslim empire, the Ottoman Empire.
15:09As a result, most of the present-day Turkey is a Muslim country.
15:20ISTANBUL
15:23From Christianity to Islam, Istanbul is a city where different cultures intersect.
15:30Hagia Sophia is a symbol of that.
15:38About 1500 years ago, Hagia Sophia was built as a Christian cathedral.
15:47The huge dome building, about 60 meters high,
15:52is a masterpiece that gathered the essence of the civil engineering at that time.
16:00During the Eastern Roman Empire, this was one of the centers of the Christian world.
16:07It's amazing.
16:30As expected, it has a unique atmosphere.
16:37It's different from all the mosques and churches I've been to.
16:45It has a profound and unique atmosphere.
16:52The conquered Ottoman Empire first recovered this place as a mosque.
17:00Originally, only Muslims could enter the first floor,
17:05but it was specially allowed to film inside.
17:13The round plate with the Arabic letters was added after it became a mosque.
17:20MECCA
17:25In the direction of Mecca, a mihrab was built.
17:33And five times a day, worship was held.
17:50MECCA
17:59After the Ottoman Empire was destroyed, Hagia Sophia became a museum,
18:05and worship was not held.
18:11It was about five years ago that it became a mosque again.
18:19MECCA
18:22There is a picture on the wall where people offer their prayers,
18:26which tells the story of how it has been destroyed over time.
18:36This part was covered with white cloth when it became a mosque again.
18:45MECCA
18:48When you go up to the second floor, you can see what's going on.
19:08Yes, but it's quite a smile.
19:14MECCA
19:17This is a picture of the Virgin Mary holding a baby Jesus,
19:22which was painted when it was a Christian cathedral.
19:27In Islam, worship is forbidden, so it was kept out of sight.
19:36MECCA
19:39This is a unique world created by two different cultures.
19:44It is one of the reasons why the Istanbul Historic District has been registered as a World Heritage Site.
19:58Wow.
20:00Isn't this amazing?
20:05This is also a Christian cathedral.
20:09MECCA
20:12The golden space was spreading out.
20:20More than 1,600 years ago,
20:24Istanbul, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire,
20:28was the center of Christianity.
20:32MECCA
20:35The Eastern Roman Empire was also known as the Byzantine Empire.
20:40The pink building, which was built as a cathedral,
20:45was a masterpiece of Byzantine art.
20:52Wow.
20:56It's like this again.
20:59Amazing.
21:03Wow.
21:10If you come to Istanbul,
21:13you must visit this place if you like history.
21:19The mural depicting the life of Christ and the Virgin Mary
21:25caught my eye.
21:32MECCA
21:39Actually, this is a mosaic painting.
21:43It is a representative technique of Byzantine art.
21:47Excuse me.
21:51He showed me a mosaic painting of the chapel
21:55up close.
22:02The gradation of subtle colors.
22:08This part is shining, but this part is a little matte.
22:14It's a work of art.
22:17It's well thought out.
22:20It looks like gold at first glance, but it's mixed with green.
22:25The gradation of yellow and green gives it a three-dimensional effect.
22:30It's so detailed.
22:33It's painted with small, crushed marble and colored glass.
22:42There was also glass with gold leaf.
22:46MECCA
22:55The mosaic painting, which was painted with precious materials,
23:01was able to mature because it was the Byzantine Empire
23:06where the wealth of the world was gathered.
23:16MECCA
23:19The conquered Ottoman Empire was restored to Moscow.
23:24The mosaic painting was hidden in the basement.
23:30It was restored in the 20th century.
23:39This is the birth of Christ.
23:47Cows and donkeys are breathing and warming him up.
23:56This was also a museum at one time,
24:00but it was re-opened as a mosque last year.
24:06At the time of worship,
24:09Mary, holding Christ, is hidden by a roll screen.
24:16MECCA
24:21The next episode is the second part of Istanbul's history.
24:29It's so detailed.
24:33We're approaching the movie of the Ottoman Empire
24:37which conquered a thousand-year-old capital.
