Kwangoko ngoMatshi ka-2015, ukugrunjwa kohlangulo eVarna, eBulgaria kwatyhila amathambo esigebenga esingcwatywe ngaphantsi kodonga lwenqaba yesixeko samandulo saseOdessos.
Iingxelo zokuqala zabonisa ukuba izazinzulu zothuswa kakhulu bubukhulu bethambo elifunyenwe kuloo ndawo, nto leyo eyakhokelela ekubeni bagqibe kwelokuba umntu wayephila kwinkulungwane yesi-4 okanye yesi-5.
I-skeleton yatyhilwa ngexesha lokumbiwa kohlangulo olwenziwa ngabavubukuli beVarna Museum of Archaeology (ekwabizwa ngokuba yiVarna Regional Museum of History).
Ngokutsho kukaProf. uGqr. Valeri Yotov, owayephethe iqela eliqhuba ukugrumba apho, ubukhulu bamathambo "babuchukumisa" kwaye "ayendoda ende kakhulu". Nangona kunjalo, u-Yotov akazange aveze ubude obuchanekileyo bamathambo.
Abembi bezinto zakudala baseVarna baphinde bafumana iintsalela zodonga lwenqaba yaseOdessos, amaqhekeza eengqayi zodongwe, kunye nelitye lokusila lakudala lakudala.
“Njengoko saqalisa ukutyhila udonga lwenqaba yamandulo, saqalisa ukuzibuza imibuzo emininzi, yaye, kambe ke, kwafuneka siqhubeke nokugrumba ukuze sifikelele kwiziseko zodonga. Leyo yindlela esathi saa ngayo loo mathambo.”—UGqr. Valeri Yotov
Abembi bezinto zakudala bafumanisa ukuba umzimba wawungcwatywe ekuqaleni kubunzulu beemitha ezintathu. Ekubeni amangcwaba anobunzulu obunjalo enqabile, bacinga ukuba umngxuma umele ukuba wembiwa njengomsele wokwakha ngelo xesha kwakusakhiwa udonga lwenqaba yaseOdessos.
Ngokutsho kukaProf. Yotov, lo mntu wafela emsebenzini, yaye isibakala sokuba wangcwatywa isandla sakhe sibekwe esinqeni sakhe nomzimba wakhe ujonge ngasempuma yayibubungqina bomngcwabo ongokwesithethe.
Ngoxa abembi bezinto zakudala bengafumananga nto iphawulekayo ngokufunyaniswa kwabo, abaphandi abaninzi bayazibuza ukuba la mathambo avela phi na. Iingcali ezininzi zithi umntu owayephila ngaphambi kwembali ungumzekelo “weengxilimbela zaseAtlantis owaphela kudala.”
Ayikokuqala ngqa ukuba kufunyanwe amathambo omntu omkhulu ngokungaqhelekanga eMpuma Yurophu. Amathambo egorha eligorha ukusuka kwi-1600 BC yafunyanwa ngo-2012 kufutshane neSanta Mare, eRomania.
Umphumi-mkhosi, owaziwa ngokuba ngu “Goliyati,” wema ngaphezu kweemitha ezi-2 ubude, nto leyo yayingaqhelekanga ngelo xesha nakummandla kuba abantu abaninzi babephila ubomi obufutshane (malunga ne-1.5 yeemitha ngokomndilili). Ikrele elinomtsalane elalibonisa ubungangamsha bomphumi-mkhosi lafunyanwa kunye naye engcwabeni lakhe.
Ngaba zonke ezi zinto zimangalisayo ziye zafunyanwa zingqina ukuba iingxilimbela zazikhe zazulazula eYurophu? Ngaba uhlanga lweengxilimbela zaseAtlantis luyinyani enzima kwimbali yoluntu? Ngaba loo mabali asentsomini asekelwe kwiziganeko zokwenene ezenzeka kude kudala?
