Pakutulukira kochititsa chidwi kwambiri, akatswiri ofukula zinthu zakale apeza mabwinja a mnyamata wina wa ku Maya amene anaperekedwa nsembe ndi mphete yokongola ya jade m’chigawo cha Cameche, ku Mexico. Zodabwitsazi zidapezeka pakufukula kwaposachedwa kwa mzinda wokongola wa Maya wa El Tigre, ndikuwulula zidziwitso zodabwitsa za miyambo yakale yachitukuko.
El Tigre, yemwe amadziwikanso kuti "Itzamkanac" kapena malo a njoka yabuluzi, ankagwira ntchito ngati malo ogulitsa ndi zikondwerero. Mzinda wakalewu udakhazikitsidwa munthawi ya Middle Preclassic ndipo udakhalabe mpaka pomwe Spain idagonjetsa. Ndi malo ake abwino pafupi ndi Rio Candelaria, El Tigre idakula bwino ngati likulu la ndale la chigawo cha Acalán, kukopa amalonda ochokera kutali.
National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) inanena kuti chigobacho, chokongoletsedwa ndi mphete yayikulu ya yade, chinapezeka mu Structure 1 ya El Tigre Archaeological Zone. Ofufuza amakhulupirira kuti malirowa anali a wachinyamata wa nthawi ya Late Classic, akutsegula chitseko chobisika ku chitukuko cha Mayan pakati pa 600 ndi 800 AD.
Jade anali ndi tanthauzo lalikulu pachikhalidwe komanso mophiphiritsa mu zitukuko za ku Mesoamerica. Kuyambira pa miyambo yachipembedzo, ulamuliro wa chikhalidwe cha anthu, chonde, moyo, ndi chilengedwe, jade anathandiza kwambiri kusintha luso lazojambula, chikhalidwe cha anthu, ndi zipembedzo za zikhalidwe zakale. Kuphiphiritsira kwake kaŵirikaŵiri kumaposa imfa, monga momwe zikuwonekera m’kutulukira kodabwitsa kumeneku.
Mphete ya jade, yoyikidwa mosamala mkati mwa chotengera chopatulika, imasonyeza ulemu wa Amaya pa mwala wamtengo wapatali umenewu. Kuwonjezera pa kukongola kwake, jade ankakonda kwambiri zikhulupiriro zawo zauzimu ndi zachipembedzo. Kutulukiraku kumatithandiza kuona miyambo ndi zikhulupiriro zokhudzana ndi imfa ndi moyo wapambuyo pa imfa pakati pa anthu akale a Mayan.
El Tigre Archaeological Zone, ndi nyumba zake zazikulu 15 ndi zing'onozing'ono zambiri, akulonjeza kuti adzawunikiranso za chikhalidwe cha anthu, miyambo yachipembedzo, ndi moyo watsiku ndi tsiku wa zitukuko zakale za Mesoamerican. Pamene kufukulaku kukuchitikabe, mapulani akutsegula malo odziwika bwinowa kwa alendo odzaona malo. Nyumba ikumangidwa yokhala ndi mapanelo omasulira ndi zikwangwani kuti alendo azitha kumvetsetsa komanso kumvetsetsa mozama za mabwinja akale.
Kupeza kodabwitsa kumeneku mosakayikira kudzathandizira kukulitsa chidziwitso cha chitukuko chakale cha Mayan ndi miyambo yake. Chilichonse chopangidwa ndi kuikidwa m'manda kumapereka mawonekedwe atsopano amiyoyo ya makolo athu, zomwe zimatilola kuphatikiza nkhani zawo ndikulemekeza kukhalapo kwawo. Ndi kudzera mu zodabwitsa za ofukula zinthu zakalezi kuti tingathe kuyamikira mbiri yakale ndi chikhalidwe cha chikhalidwe chomwe chikupitiriza kuumba dziko lathu lamakono.
Pamene dothi lirilonse likupetedwa mosamala kwambiri ndipo chinthu chilichonse chopangidwa mwaluso chikufukulidwa mosamala, akatswiri ofukula zinthu zakale amavumbula zinsinsi zakale. Ndi kudzera mu kusanthula kwawo mosamalitsa ndi kutanthauzira kwawo komwe tingathe kutseka kusiyana pakati pa moyo wathu wamakono ndi zochitika zakutali za chitukuko cha Mayan.
Pamene tikuyembekezera mwachidwi kumalizidwa kwa zinthu zakale zokumbidwa pansi ku El Tigre, titha kuyembekezera chidziŵitso chatsopano chimene chidzatithandiza kumvetsa bwino Amaya ndi kutilimbikitsa kuyamikiranso chifukwa cha chikhalidwe chawo chodabwitsa.
