Abembi bezinto zakudala baseMelika bakhubeka kwi-Neolithic kunye ne-Graeco-Roman e-Fayoum, e-Egypt

(eTN) -Imishini yokumbiwa kwezinto zakudala yaseMelika kwiDyunivesithi yaseCalifornia, eLos Angeles (UCLA) ivumbulule indawo yokuhlala yaseNeolithic ephantse yangabambeki kunye nentsalela yelali yaseGraeco-Roman eFaiyum, ngelixa yayisenza uphando ngemagneti. Oku kufunyenwe kubhengezwe namhlanje nguMphathiswa Wezenkcubeko wase-Egypt uFarouk Hosni.

UGqirha Zahi Hawass, Unobhala Jikelele weBhunga eliPhakamileyo lezinto zakudala (i-SCA), uthe oku kufunyenwe kwenziwa ngelixa iqela belihlola isiza ngelixa befunda ukunyuka kwamanqanaba echibi, okubangele ukuba izinto zobugcisa zigutyungelwe ngeemitha intlenga okanye ukufuduswa ngokumangalisayo kukususwa komhlaba.

Le ndawo ngaphambili yayimbiwe nguGertrude Caton-Thompson ngo-1925, owafumana intsalela ezininzi zeNeolithic. Ngeli xesha, nangona kunjalo, uphando olwenziwe ngemagneti luveze ukuba indawo yokuhlala yayinkulu kakhulu kunokuba bekulindelwe, kwaye ibandakanya intsalela yeendonga zezitena zodaka kunye namaqhekeza odongwe.

Ugqirha Willeke Wendrich we UCLA wathi i-Faiyum Neolithic ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ithathelwe ingqalelo njengexesha elinye kodwa olu luvo kunganyanzeleka ukuba lutshintshe njengoko iziphumo zophononongo zibonisa ukuba zingabhalwa ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo kumaxesha e-Neolithic.

Ukuze uqonde ubeko lwelali yaseQaret Al-Rusas yamaRoma, kwicala elikumntla mpuma weLake Qarun, ngaphandle kokugrumba, uthumo lwenza uphando ngemagnethi. Imephu ibonisa imigca ecacileyo yodonga kunye nezitalato kwipateni ye-orthogonal eqhelekileyo yexesha lamaGrikhi namaRoma.

Izifundo zakuqala, utshilo uWendrich, zibonisa ukuba isiza sagutyungelwa ngamanzi eLake Qarun ngexesha elingaziwayo kwaye kangangexesha elingaziwayo, njengoko kungekuphela nje umphezulu olungelelaniswe ngokupheleleyo kodwa iimbumba kunye neentsimbi zelitye lekalika zigutyungelwe yicwecwe elingqingqwa lecalcium carbonate , ehlala ibonisa indawo yokuma kwamanzi angama-30-40cm.

Umsebenzi wobufundisi wandiswa waya eKaranis kumda osemantla woxinzelelo lweFaiyum apho kuhlala khona isixeko saseGraeco-Roman. UGqr. Hawass uthi xa iqela elivela kwiYunivesithi yaseMichigan lagrumba isiza phakathi konyaka we-1926 kunye nowe-1935, bafumana izindlu zikwimeko entle kakhulu kwaye kukho izidalwa ezininzi eziphilayo ezaye zasinda ukutyhubela iminyaka. Nangona kunjalo, isiza asizange sigcwaliswe, kwaye uWendrich walatha kumonakalo kwizakhiwo ezibangelwe yimvula nokhukuliseko lomoya. Ukumbiwa kwendawo kwafunyanwa amathambo omlambo wamandulo okanye ichibi. Okwalo mzuzu, bekungekamiselwa ukuba ingaba lo mthombo wamanzi amatsha ukhona ecaleni kwedolophu okanye kwiminyaka engaphambili.

Eyona njongo iphambili yovavanyo yayikukuqonda ngcono intsalela yezinto zakudala kunye nezoo-archaeological eKaranis kwimeko eyombiweyo kakuhle, kunye nokuqonda ubomi kunye nemisebenzi yezoqoqosho yabantu ababehlala eKaranis eFayoum.
