Squatty toilets are designed to do your glory and come out straight away and not spend time on your phones whilst having a dump! Plus squatting helps you to dump your dump quicker because of the pressure applied to your stomach. In other parts of the world they would sit next to each other talking whilst taking a dump which is disgusting.

The Ottoman Dynasty was brilliant in architecture, design, mosaics, plumbing and sewage control. Particularly the creative visions of Sultan Suleiman, who had the intellect to make them into realities for generations to come. I'm amazed! 👏🔱 I noted that there were nice water fountains all over the countryside (really pretty), rather than open wells, for people to simply turn on taps for cooling off on walks, or drinking water in "Magnificient Century". Were those really available even out in the country during that Era? Also along the palace walls and in town see the same little built-in basins with spouts. Way advanced, even for now as our western metal fountains rust and are so ugly. I wonder what piping is used underground and the water sources. Was the water treated? Also, about the advanced "bath rooms" in the palace and built in town (and other living spaces like the harem). If there was glass in the openings in the ceiling, how did they get ventilation for air flow? I thought the heat escaped in warmer months through the ceilings (heat rises) and for room ventilation, but maybe that was provided through side windows? Having a degree in interior design, I'm really interested. 😊⚘ And do the urinals & basins that conserve water, by scooping a little out at time to rinse for bathing, look the same? Were bathing and bathroom functions in the same place or separate? The cleanliness, beauty, and longevity is so far ahead of its time. Most impressive that many of these buildings & water fountains have withstood the test of time. Beauty and function; magnificient! ♜🕍🎨🌞

[@whatemmanuellesees]

Thank you for your comment. I’m not an architect but from what I saw when I was there their buildings were thoughtfully planned out, like you said water fountains were everywhere, I went to an ancient market in Istanbul and there I saw an old marble fountain with different basins and people were still using them, a man was getting water for his kettle so I can only assume that the water out of the fountain ⛲️ is potable. When I was at the Topkapi palace, it was a very hot day but all I felt was coolness and freshness inside the palace including the Royal bathroom perhaps it’s because of the ceilings are very high? The indoor plumbing was genius, everything was built with marble or stone so they didn’t rust away over time. Unlike European cities at that time, they had indoor plumbing which meant no scooping while European cities were dumping theirs out the window shouting out “gardez l’eau”. Because the Turks are Muslim, cleanliness is part of their religion, I think that was why fountains, public hammam were at every corner, outside of mosques…now a days there’s no need for them anymore as everyone gets out of the house well showered and well groomed. I’m not sure what type of material the pipes were made out of but I saw one in the hammam of the palace (as it was shown from an opening of the wall intentionally) it was made out of metal. I hope I answered some of your doubts but if I learnt of new information regarding the subject matter, I will come back to you as I too am interested in architecture and how things were built in the past. Take care my friend🤗

[@eraysulun5587]

The Ottoman Empire was the first to find the underfloor heating system. In the Süleymaniye Mosque, Mimar Sinan installed a floor heating system using hot water sources. In the meantime, it was the Ottomans who installed the sewer system for the first time in the world and used toilets in the building. At that time, oil lamps were used for light. soot from here could damage the tiles and ceiling decorations. In order to prevent this and to provide air flow, small rooms were made in some rooms so that the ceiling part is invisible when viewed from the outside. Some rooms have fireplaces.

Very true, the Romans were famous for their aqueducts, some of their aqueducts are still standing tall today like the one in Segovia, truly amazing construction and engineering. However, in Western Europe, people were throwing the contents of their chamber pots out of their windows shouting out “gardez l'eau” or gardyloo meaning watch out for water, outdoor plumbing 🪠 existed way into 60’s…the whole family was still taking 🛀 bath from the same bath water in front of the fire 🔥 in the 60’s. True facts, y’all look it up.

[@LS-gf9pg]

@@whatemmanuellesees In Istanbul, indoor plumbing was only in Sultan palaces or in inhabitations of nobles, not in the houses of common people... in the same way in Italy (Western Europe) only Popes and high nobility could access to a well equipped bathroom. For example Leonardo da Vinci, in the summer of 1490, designed an elegant bathroom for Isabela d'Aragona, duchess of Milan, enclosed in a marble pavilion, lit from above and equipped with a plumbing system. A fun fact: the water used to supply the imperial palaces of Istanbul was from aqueduct of Valens, built in roman times.
