Nge-4,000 km enyuka ufikelela emazantsi e-Andes ePeru, kwaye kwakuhlala abantu baseChachapoya, ekwabizwa ngokuba “Amagorha Emafini.”
Kunolwazi oluncinci lokuqala okanye olwahlukileyo lweChachapoyas. Uninzi lwezinto esizaziyo malunga nenkcubeko yeChachapoyas isekwe kubungqina bezinto zakudala ezivela kumabhodlo, izinto zobumba, amangcwaba kunye nezinye izinto zakudala.
Esinye sezixeko zaseChachapoya esinabantu abaninzi sikwi-3,000 yeemitha ukuphakama kwaye sibonisa ukuba abahlali bayo babengabakhi abakhulu kwaye mhlawumbi babelawula ubukhosi obukhulu. I-Radiocarbon (iCarbon-14) ihlalutya umhla kuninzi lolwakhiwo ukuya malunga ne-800 AD, ngaphandle komnyango omkhulu osukela kwi-500 AD.
Kuyo yonke iMelika, akukho zakhiwo ezifanayo, kodwa zikhona ezifanayo phakathi kwabantu baseCeltic baseYurophu, ngakumbi kwiindawo zamandulo zamaCelt eGalicia. Olunye ukhakhayi lweChachapoya lubonisa ubungqina bokuba kwenziwe utyando kubo, abaguli basindile. Olu qhaqho lwalusele lusaziwa kwiMeditera apho luchazwa malunga ne-500 BC, kwaye kuye kwafunyanwa iingqayi zeCeltic kwiindawo zase-Austrian.
Ubukumkani beChachapoya babukwimpuma yePeru, kude nendawo yempembelelo yoBukhosi beInca. Nangona imingcwabo yabo yayiqhele ukwenzeka ngaphakathi emakhaya, isiko ekwabelwana ngalo namaCelt, babesenza nemingcwabo kumawa eengxondorha, kwaye bayishiyile imizobo yabantu abanezigqubuthelo ezinqabileyo nezinomtsalane. AmaCelt nawo amela oothixo bawo ngezithsaba ezifanayo.
Imozulu yale ndawo izisa iinkqwithela rhoqo ezibangela ukuqhekeka komhlaba okwaziyo ukungcwaba izixeko ezazisezintlanjeni, ngenxa yeso sizathu iiChachapoyas zakhetha ukwakha kwiincopho zeentaba. Ngexesha leemvula ezinkulu, ukungcwatywa kwi-2,800 m kwafunyanwa kwaye i-archaeologists yakwazi ukufumana ngaphezulu kwama-mummy angama-200 awayesindile kwisaqhwithi nokuphanga.
Uhlalutyo lwamathambo luveze ukuba iChachapoyas ezininzi ziphethwe zizifo ezinjengesifo sephepha, ekwakusoloko kucingelwa ukuba zaziswa eMelika yiSpanish emva koFumanekiso, kodwa oku kubonisa ukuba iChachapoyas sele ihluphekile kuyo kwiinkulungwane ezininzi ngaphambili. Oku kukhokelele ekucingeni ukuba iChachapoyas babeyinzala yabantu baseYurophu abafika eMelika kwiinkulungwane ezininzi ngaphambi kukaColumbus.
Kwaye yayingabantu abangamagorha, uninzi lwamathambo lubonisa ukuba babulawa kukophuka kwamakhakhayi kwaye babulawa ngogonyamelo. Kwaye ezona zixhobo zixhaphakileyo zokuhlasela zisekude yayizizilayingi, ezahluke kakhulu kwezo zafunyanwa kwinxalenye yeInca yasePeru kodwa zifana ncam nezilingi zaseCeltic zeBalearic Islands.
I-Balearic slinger, intshatsheli ye-world inling sling, ivavanya isilingi seChachapoya kwaye ibango lokuba ziyafana ngokufana neslingshots zemveli.
Iimpawu zeChachapoyas
Enye inzala yamaChachapoyas igcina izinto ezibonakalayo ezahlula kwezinye izizwe zaseAmazonia okanye zeInca. Banesikhumba esikhaphukhaphu kwaye uninzi lunee-blond okanye zineenwele ezibomvu, ngokwahlukileyo kubume bobhedu kunye neenwele ezimnyama zezinye izizwe zase Mzantsi Melika. Abanye babahloli bokuqala baseSpain sele bezibonile ezo ntlukwano ezenze ukuba iChachapoyas zifane ngakumbi nabantu baseYurophu kunaseMzantsi Melika.
Iisampulu zamathe ezivela kubantwana abanezi mpawu zomzimba ziye zahlalutywa kwiZiko leMolekyuli yezeMvelo eRotterdam. Nangona uninzi lwe-genome yabo iyinyani yaseMzantsi Melika, ezinye zibandakanya phakathi kwe-10 kunye ne-50 yepesenti yemfuza yemvelaphi yeCelt, ngakumbi isuka eNgilane naseGalicia.
Ngaba inzala yamaChachapoyas yezizwe zamaCelt zangena kwiinqanawa zaseCarthage ezazinqumla iAtlantic xa zibaleka umkhosi wamaRoma?
Ngaphandle kwezibonisi ezininzi ezibonisa oku kunokwenzeka, inyani kukuba abukho ubungqina obuqinisekileyo. Mhlawumbi isifundo esitsha sezinto zakudala okanye semfuzo siyakuqinisekisa oku, kodwa abanye bezinto zakudala kunye nabaphengululi beChachapoyas sele beqinisekile ngayo.
