Values ​​that reflect the local culture for the submission of Beypazari Mansions

Like every inch of the territory of very ancient civilizations of Anatolia Beypazari been the scene live. Although there is clear information that points to the first placement as a settlement based on the use of evidence showing that there are times immemorial. This supremacy was so different that passes through the territory of the accumulated Beypazari history bears the traces of different cultures. Evliya Celebi's Book of Travels deyinme Beypazarı historical significance could not pass, were fed with these differences.
Beypazari Aladdin Street
Which is an ancient settlement in the territory of Beypazari, respectively, the Hittite, Phrygian, Galatian, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottomans are known to be dominant.

Beypazari during the Seljuk period, Ontario - has been an important trading center on the way to Baghdad. Beypazari, Orhan Bey's acquisition of Ankara Hüdavendigâr (London), the Ottoman administration was connected to the Sandzak.

Roman period, "Lagania" takes its name, this area became the center of a bishopric. "Rock Peak", which means the name is then prevailing in that period of Emperor Anastasius (AD 491 to 518) visit to the region "Lagania Anastasiapolis" was changed to. Istanbul, Ankara and Baghdad on the location of passageways connecting the high period lived in a commercial sense.

Seljuk Sultanate of them as the country has shown, the management of Gazi Gündüzalp first settled in the vicinity of Ankara. Founder of the Ottoman Empire, Osman Bey, the grandfather in the village of Gazi Gündüzalp'in Hırkatepe Beypazarı tomb.

"We do not know the first constructor. But, first conqueror of the Shah's vizier of Kutahya rulers Germiyanoglu Jacob Hezar'dır Dinar. Therefore, the city" Germiyan Hezar "or they say."

Any architectural work created by the mankind as well as Beypazari Mansions us to take a date style and way of life of local people leaking information about the concept of asylum. Usually two or three stories high, adorned with hosts during the functional and cultural details. These houses are stone ground floors, upper floors into the wood frame was built using wood or mud-filled system. Garden, small garden and a large variety of the show gardens. Bay windows, or more commonly "guşgana"-related structures can go in our face.

Beypazari Local Tastes
Which is a feature of the houses with gardens, and "cannot", also known as "guşgana", a small section at the top of the typical houses of Beypazari. Although construction of this section is actually a sense of an aborted deliberately structured that way. Beypazarılılar, and thinking about the possibility of enlarging the house as well as food for their families are stretched while being dried or preserved in such a structure also chose to take advantage of. Write Guşganalar hot, dry and winter when the winter needs the cold months, which he kept intact in this section. Tomorrow's the prudent Beypazarılı erzakını ready today, is a warm-blooded being made in the houses adjacent to each other reveals.
Doors of neighboring homes, windows, looks at each case guşganalar. This residential-style nest of social life, and points to the sincerity of the relationship. Sloping areas, the houses and gardens of the input is done directly from the street. Small garden houses the main entrance to the garden arranged in connection with street entry. Large garden at home before you reach home after a garden. The entrances of the houses, "life" at the so-called precious belongings fires, predators used in the iron door to protect the storage chambers are located. Located on the ground floor with windows opening out of the small trough in January and is usually taşlıkta.

This layer, which is the main living area with wooden staircase connects the upper floors the first few digits. Providing access between floors and stairs at the beginning of the so-called mamrak pulley covers parts are used as a warehouse. In the area around the gazebo called the sofa section contains areas such as kitchen and toilet. Some homes around the outward-looking sofa iwan, regulations such as building shape are also forms of mobility that create overhangs. Sofas large or illuminated by arched windows.

Beypazari homes in the local language, "let-up cabinet," the so-called horizontal and vertical service between departments and floors and cabinets that are returned. Roofs are usually made of squat brick home. Recently, the applicability of remedial and cheapness of easy-to-hand passing in mind there are roofs covered with sheet metal material. Garden walls of houses with gardens that street out to be quite high against the measure is emphasized.

Almost adjacent to the neighboring houses have gardens and a sense of trust between the people think. Developed in conjunction with the general architectural features of houses of Anatolia which opened its doors to pine hosts a friendly, warm people can browse experiences. Eye shaking, but also staying in the mansions of tasting local dishes offered in this yaşantıdan can play a few days.

Kocabas, since 6 years working on these ships, the vessels formed in the laboratory, examined the said land.
To continue this project of the University has established a major branch of science, a master's degree in this field, explaining that they Kocabas doctoral education, graduate education in 2015, stressed that plans to provide.

Kocabas, önemsediklerini this work, seriously, that they, for the completion of the project to continue and said that the second generation of the yetiştirdiklerini.

University of Texas of 9 and 5 of the ship in the construction of the ship responsible for the scientific examination stated that the Kocabas, said:

Land this university was the 9th ship''. We would like to continue that because it's so bulky, but we let a project. Because the vessel 27 for a group very much indeed. I wish I Had a few groups, hafifleseydi cargo. We will review the scientific 27'sinin 36 ships. A total of 31 ships in the conservation of the museum establishment, and will perform the operation. This is the world's largest project in the western ships. Land since the ships are carrying more than 6 years. Complete remove of all the documentation procedures. Because on-site documentation is very important. Currently, one ship remained in the field. Towards the end we came to work the land. Pioneering project for Turkey. Each ship of the period has been made, the most high technology.''
A team of about 30 years without a break and working 6 days a week, ship-building techniques that transfers araştırdıklarını Kocabas,''At that time, how did the masters of such ships, which used the tools are working to resolve them. We do not know have used a construction technique. Looking at the way we do not know, and it made before the Byzantine period. The traditional procedure in the Byzantine period, a transition period took place between the modern ship. Yenikapı can find all the details of the transition period. We think a period of 600 years of the ships sank. In addition, the technique used for the different layers are passed hand are We have solved''he said.

3-dimensional drawings of''doing''

Kocabas, ship-building techniques and also is preparing a doctoral thesis, said the thesis be published as a book.
The majority of the vessels, there is a whole in the form of voicing Kocabas, said:

''This is a great chance for us. Around the world, so far no archaeological excavations in the Byzantine-era warships, galleys may not be found. Galley used with 6 found in the Navy. These are long, thin, delicate vessels. Made of the lightweight material for oars they move. Now we are doing to resolve them. 15 thousand on the above mentioned number of nails in a galley. This figure is even terrible. They also are making 3-dimensional drawings. What was missing parts of these vessels, they are designing. They are trying to find the right way. All works, so that the ships protected by the laboratory intact. We apply different methods to protect the wreck of the ship each.''

Japanese fish protection

Large water-filled pools in parts of the field from the ship transmits parasitic Kocabas, said:
Very suitable climatic conditions, bacterial or fungal growth''in Istanbul. Therefore, if you make long-term storage of bacteria in stagnant water, yeast, various worms, fly larvae occurs. You have to use to destroy the very powerful drugs. That is life in the pools sıfırlamazsanız able to use these organisms as food ahşaplarını ship. Another method is to ensure that these bacteria to eat other organisms. To this end, we put the goldfish in ponds where the vessels. The use of ships to protect goldfish. So far we have achieved very successful results. In particular, these fish larvae and grubs yaşatmıyor pools. Japanese fish for almost a year we have a very successful experiment.''

Depending on the project stating that the ship left on the creation of the museum Kocabas,''We have established a museum to the museum, even if we do not have to put the material. Conservation of a long process because the water-saturated wood. Abroad, there are examples of this. Minimum 10 years before the conservation work of these ships do not stop. In addition, there are 36 ships. At the same time more than one review of the ship and we can make, as well as conservation başlayabiliyoruz. The number of ships to be very 2025, the last of the ship before the year 2030 shows that bitmeyeceğini conservation. The first ship will be on display in 2013. In other words, the first ship in 2013, 2 ships in 2014, 2015 4 ships. Aim to finish in 2025-2030 until the last ship,''he said.

Kocabas, there are ships going around the world for 20 years, conserved, United Kingdom in terms of mass removed from the ship,''Mary Rose''is a very large and beautiful ship, he said.

Removed from under the water that transfers of this ship in 1982, Kocabas,''I am the first in 1995, I visited the ship. In 1995, conservation was emdirilmeye material. I would visit every 5 years. The most recent in 2010, I visited, is still being continued conservation. Budgets of these studies is very high, with tons of chemicals used in the phrase is. 40 tons of water in my pool here is a wreck. Very exacting in the form of a project,''he said.
