arises, then, is that of the rise of the globe as the fundamental picture of the world. As claimed by Heidegger in the epigraph, the conquest of the world as picture is the fundamental event of modernity. The excerpt is a beginning of the history of the idea of the sphere or the globe. "Geometry in the colossal" (Geometrie in Ungeheurem) appears as pages 47-72 of the second volume of Peter Sloterdijk's Spharen-the volume is entitled Globen, 'Globes'. Hence, we should appreciate the importance of water for life moreover, "if there is water there is life" is not a great prophecy. Any condition that may adversely affect the cisterns, public or subarachnoid, may cause serious and irreversible damage to life. The central nervous system produces and stores water in the form of cerebrospinal fluid in the subarachnoid cisterns for mechanical and immunological protection of the anatomical structures and for autoregulation of cerebral blood flow every day. In the human body, subarachnoid cisterns of central nervous system are the best-known cisterns, despite the presence of the cisterna chyli and Golgi body. Similar to these social measures for water preservation, biological structures exhibit their own measures. Byzantine cisterns such as the Basilica Cistern and Aqueduct of Valens are excellent examples that are remnants from the past to present. The first prototypes of cisterns were constructed in the Neolithic age. Powerful empires built many open-air and covered cisterns for water reservation and constructed aqueducts to bring water from hinterland to these cisterns. The maintenance of daily life activities related to hygiene as well as prevention of epide mic diseases and accidents involving fire was as important in the past as today. It is needed not only for survival but also to sustain daily life activities.
