Abantu abaningi emhlabeni wonke bakholelwa ezintweni abangaziboni. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi onkulunkulu abangabonakali, inhlanhla, noma ukudalelwa, la mandla angaphezu kwawemvelo ayaqhubeka ethinta abantu kuze kube sekugcineni komphakathi.
Ukuba khona kwemigqa ye-ley kungenye yenkolelo enjalo kokungabonakali, enobufakazi obukholisayo obungalindelekile. Le migwaqo eyimfihlo yakha igridi emhlabeni wonke, exhumanisa amasayithi angcwele kunethiwekhi yemigqa eqondile ehlanganisa imbulunga yonke.
Ngalo mqondo, imigqa ye-ley ihlanganisa ngokungalindelekile, exhumanisa izindawo zokukhulekela zasendulo ezingcwele nezibalulekile emhlabeni wonke. Imibhoshongo yaseGibhithe, i-Great Wall yaseShayina, i-Stonehenge, nezinye izimpawu zendawo ziye zatholakala zitholakala emigqeni ye-ley.
Uma kubhekwa ukuntuleka kokuxhumana okuhlelekile phakathi kwemiphakathi eyakha lezi zikhumbuzo, lokhu kuveza indida. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi abantu basendulo babewazi amandla aphansi lapho bekhetha izindawo zabo ezingcwele? Ingabe kucatshangwa ukuthi banomuzwa wokuthi amandla oMhlaba ayemakhulu kule migqa ye-ley?
Ingabe lokhu kumane kuyindaba yokuchema kokuqinisekisa, lapho abacwaningi bedwebe imigqa eminingi eqondile kumephu kangangokuthi ithuba elingahleliwe lididaniswa nokubaluleka?
Ithiyori kaLey Lines
Uma kubhekwa izindawo ezishiwo, umbono wemigqa ye-ley usemusha uma kuqhathaniswa, njengoba ekuqaleni wachazwa ngokugcwele ngo-1921. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, isihloko asikaze sixazululwe, futhi ingxabano mayelana nokuthi zikhona yini noma azikho.
Ngempela, abasekeli abaningi bemigqa ye-ley bayavuma ukuthi abayiqondi ngokugcwele injongo yayo. Abantu abaningi bakholelwa ukuthi le migqa ikhombisa izindawo zamandla emvelo, lapho ukuhlangana kwemigwaqo kusebenza kahle kakhulu. Nokho, ukuthi lokhu kuvela kanjani nokuthi kungase kuzuzise kanjani kusalokhu kuyimfihlakalo.
U-Alfred Watkins, isazi semivubukulo, wenza inkulumo eyindida ngo-1921. UWatkins wagomela ngokuthi amakhulu ezindawo zasendulo ezivelele emhlabeni wonke kungaboniswa ukuthi zakhiwe ngokulandelana kwemigqa eqondile.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi lezi zindawo zazenziwe umuntu noma zemvelo, zazihlale ziwela kule phethini, ayebhekisela kuyo ngokuthi “imigqa eqondile.” Ngalo mbono, waba nombono wokuthi amandla athile emvelo avela eMhlabeni ayezibonakalisa endaweni yalezi zici.
Le migqa, njengemigqa ye-longitude ne-latitude, ihamba emhlabeni jikelele. Izakhiwo zemvelo, izikhumbuzo, ngisho nemifula ilandela lezi zindlela futhi ngaleyo ndlela ibonakala inikezwe amandla angaphezu kwawemvelo.
Isibonelo
U-Alfred Watkins unikeze ubufakazi bombono wakhe ngokubonisa izinhlobo eziningana zezikhumbuzo ngendlela eqondile emhlabeni jikelele. Wadweba umugqa oqondile unqamule eningizimu yeNgilandi, kwase kulandela omunye usuka endaweni eseningizimu ye-Ireland uya kwa-Israel, ethi uxhuma izindawo eziyisikhombisa ezihlukene ngegama elithi “Michael” ngandlela thize. Yayibizwa ngokuthi “iSt. Michaels Ley Line.”
Ngokufanayo, izakhiwo eziningi ezibonakala zizinkulu aziveli kule migqa ngakho azinakwa. Kusukela ngo-1921, abantu abaningi baye bawungabaza lo mbono ngenxa yezinkinga ezingakaxazululwa. Izifundiswa eziningi zinomuzwa wokuthi lokhu kuqondana kumane kuwukugqagqana kwenhlanhla, okufana nokubona abantu noma izilwane emafwini.
Abaningi abathandwayo bemilingo nesayensi eqanjiwe, nokho, bakholelwa eqinisweni lemigqa ye-ley. Ngaphezu kwalokho, nakuba lo mbono usazofakazelwa ngokwangempela noma uphikiswe, ubufakazi obutholakele kanye nemigqa yokuxhuma kuwo wonke amamephu kusengabonisa ubukhona bakho.
Isicelo esingokoqobo?
Omunye wemibono esebenzayo emayelana nemigqa ye-ley ukuthi ingase isetshenziselwe ukuzulazula. Kubekwe njengethuluzi iBrithani yakuqala (imigqa ye-ley ekuqaleni yayiwumbono waseBrithani) abahambi abangase balisebenzise ukuze bazizulele ngokuphephile lapho beya khona.
Itilosi langaphambili eliwela phezu komhlaba belizomaka indawo ephakeme ekude, njengentaba, itshe lesikhumbuzo, noma esinye isici esiphawulekayo, futhi liyisebenzise njengophawu lwezwe ukuze liqondise liqonde. Iziza ezingenelelayo zizokwakhiwa kulo mzila, okunikeza umbono wephaseji elicashile.
Manje kukhona izingcezu zobufakazi obukhomba ukuba khona kwezindlela ezinjalo e-United Kingdom. Akukhona lokho kuphela, kodwa le mizila ixhumanisa izindawo ezithakaselwayo ngqo kubahambi, njengemithombo yamanzi, amasonto, nezinqaba. Kodwa-ke, ukugxeka okujwayelekile kwemigqa ye-ley ukuthi, ngenxa yokuthi kunezindawo eziningi ezinikeziwe kumephu Yomhlaba, umugqa oqondile ungase ulandelelwe kunoma yiliphi amaphuzu amabili ngokulandelana okuthile.
U-Alfred Watkins wavumelana nalesi sisekelo, kodwa waba nomuzwa wokuthi izindlela ezikhethiwe zase zivele zikhona nokuthi ukuzulazula kokuqala kwakuholwa amathonya angaphezu kwawemvelo. Uphinde waqaphela ukufana kokuqondanisa ezindaweni ezibalulekile ezibalulekile.
Ithiyori kaWatkins yayisekelwe emibonweni yesazi sezinkanyezi uNorman Lockyer. U-Lockyer uhlole ukuhleleka kwezakhiwo zesikhumbuzo zasendulo zaseYurophu ezindaweni ezifana ne-Stonehenge, ezama ukuthola isixhumanisi sezinkanyezi esidala sezikhumbuzo.
Akwaziwa futhi akuqinisekisiwe
Iningi lama-athikili nezincwadi ezixhunywe embonweni kaWatkins wemigqa ye-ley eshicilelwe kuze kube manje emhlabeni wonke iyenqaba futhi igxeka ingxenye yemibono yakhe engaphezu kweyemvelo. Kodwa-ke, lo mbono uthathe intshisekelo yenkathi yesimanje kanye nokunyakaza kwe-counterculture.
Abantu abaningi, abangagculisekile ngezincazelo zesayensi ngomkhathi, bacabanga ukuthi le migqa engachazwanga iqukethe ukukhanyiselwa okungokomoya, imikhakha yamandla namandla avela endaweni yonke. Lokho okushiwo yilokhu, nokuthi imuphi umthelela okungaba nawo, akukanqunywa.
Ingabe lezi zindlela ezimisiwe nje ezweni lonke zilandelwa abahloli bamazwe bakuqala? Kungenzeka yini ukuthi ziyiqiniso, noma nje ukuqondana kwezakhiwo? Abantu abaningi basakholelwa emandleni emigqa ye-ley, futhi okwamanje, okungase kushiwo ukuthi akukho lutho olufakazelwe kunoma iyiphi indlela.
