Abaphandi bathi bafumene ubungqina bokuqala obungenakuphikiswa bento abakholelwa ukuba yayiyidayi enkulu yaseFenike evelisa isiza kunxweme lweKarmele eHaifa, apho abantu bamandulo ababelwandle babenza idayi enqabileyo nefunwa kakhulu emfusa ngeXesha le-Iron.
Umqhubi ophambili kwezoqoqosho ngelo xesha, idayi yayikhutshelwa kwiminenke elwandle encinci eyaziwa ngokuba yiMurex trunculus. Idayi yayinqabile kwaye kunzima ukuvelisa kangangokuba yayigcinelwa kuphela ubukumkani.
Ngokuhamba kwexesha, ubuchule bokwenza idayi ekhethekileyo yalahleka.
"Sithe sakufumanisa ukuba yayingudayi omfusa wokwenene, ngesiquphe saqonda ukuba le ndawo inonxibelelwano olunzulu nezinye iindawo." Umfundi wase-Haifa kwiYunivesithi yase-Golan Shalvi, owayekhokela ukumba phantsi kolwalathiso luka-Prof. Ayelet Gilboa, uxelele amajelo eendaba. Umgca.
Idayi, utshilo uShalvi, “ibibiza kakhulu. Yayiyidayi yasebukhosini yabantu basebukhosini. ”
I-Shalvi iqinisekile ukuba ngexesha le-Iron Age, indawo yayiyenye yezona zinto zibalulekileyo kumzi-mveliso wedayi emfusa kwiLevant yamandulo, eyafikelela ezantsi kunxweme lweMeditera ukusuka kwindawo ngoku eyiSyria ngoku i-Lebanon ne-Israel yanamhlanje.
Abembi bezinto zakudala abavela kwiZinman Institute of Archaeology kwiYunivesithi yaseHaifa baqhuba ukomba okuhlaziyiweyo kweminyaka emithathu kwisiza saseTel Shikmona phakathi konyaka wama-2010 nowama-2013, beqala apho ushiye khona ongasekhoyo uGqirha Yosef Elgavis, owemba apho ukusukela ngo-1963-1977.
Ngokusekele ekufumaneni kwabo inani elikhulu lezinto ezenziwe ngodongwe ezipeyintwe ngombala omfusa, kunye nezinye izinto ezifunyanisiweyo, abembi bezinto zakudala baseyunivesithi bakholelwa ukuba indawo yayisisixeko saseByzantine esixakekileyo esineedunams ezingama-100 (iihektare ezingama-24), nomzi-mveliso wedayi omfusa iziko lezorhwebo.
Bafumanise ngaphezu kweenqanawa zomdongwe ezingama-30 ezazivavanywe ngemichiza ukungqina ubunyani bedayi; inqwaba yoothwala (isixhobo sakudala sokuluka); kunye nokulinganisa ubunzima, abathi abaphandi bangqina ukuba amalaphu noboya zazenziwe apho.
Ukongeza, iinqanawa ezininzi ezazithunyelwe zivela eCyprus zafunyanwa kwindawo leyo.
Izinto zakudala ngoku ziboniswa ngokusisigxina kwiMyuziyam yoLwandle yeSizwe eHaifa.
UShalvi uthe ekuqaleni, iqela lalithandabuza ukuba umzi-mveliso ukho phi. Nangona ikunxweme, ayinandawo yokumisa. Ukholelwa ukuba amaFenike atsalelekile kule ndawo kuba ingqaqa lekorale lalisebenza njengendawo enkulu yokuzalela iminenke iMurex.
“Nakuphi na ukumba okucacisa ixesha lokubhalwa kweBhayibhile kwamkelekile kuthi. Ngalo lonke ixesha ufumana nantoni na esebhayibhelini iyonwabisa, utshilo uGqirha Baruch Sterman, umseki-mbumba wePtil Tekhelet Association, ovelisa idayi ekhethekileyo eluhlaza esetyenziselwa iimpahla zonqulo ezinxitywa kuluntu lwamaJuda ngokusebenzisa izinto akholelwa ukuba ziindlela ezifanayo ezo zazisetyenziswa ngamaFenike eTel Shikmona.
"Zonke ezi nkqubo iidayi zamandulo bekuya kufuneka zifundile zisikhokelele ekubeni sikholelwe ukuba zikrelekrele kwaye ziyingcali," utshilo uSterman kwiMedia Line. "Sinekhemistri namhlanje kodwa babenezilingo kunye neempazamo, kunye nomonde omkhulu."
Phantsi komlawuli waseRoma u-Justinian, abantu babengavunyelwa ukuba banxibe iiblues zasebukhosini kunye neepepuli ezenziwe ngemisonto, wongeza. AmaJuda ayenxibe idayi kwiimpahla zawo ukugcina umthetho wenkolo abeka ubomi babo emngciphekweni ngokwenza njalo, eqaqambisa ukubaluleka kwedayi kwilizwe lakudala, utshilo.
