Ekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-20, umpristi okuthiwa uCarlo Crespi Croci wathola into eyinqaba ehlathini lase-Ecuador, kamuva eyahlolwa ngokucophelela futhi yanyatheliswa ezincwadini ezihlukahlukene zokucwaninga.
UCrespi wasebenza njengompristi ingxenye enkulu yokuphila kwakhe futhi naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi wayengakaze akholelwe ngokuphelele endabeni yangaphandle komhlaba akakwazanga ukuzibamba kodwa wacabanga ngakho njengoba ebona lokho okwatholwa ngamehlo akhe amabili.
Yini ngempela ubaba uCarlo Crespi ayibona?
Ubaba uCrespi wazithela phezu komtapo wezincwadi omkhulu wensimbi owawugcwele amashidi egolide, iplatinum, nezinye izinsimbi eziyigugu.
I-Cueva de Los Tayos igama lomhume lapho kwatholakala khona zonke lezi zinto zobuciko nezinto zakudala. Iziphathimandla zase-Ecuador zikuphonsele inselelo lokhu kutholakala, kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi bobabili ohulumeni base-Ecuadorian nabaseBrithani baxhasa ngezimali ucwaningo olunzulu lwale migede, oludonse ukunaka kwabacwaningi abaningi abazimele.
U-Neil Armstrong, indoda yokuqala eyahamba eNyangeni, wayengomunye walawo madoda abambe iqhaza ocwaningweni lwamahubhe amakhulu emigede okungenzeka ukuthi yakhiwe abantu. Uma lokhu kufakazelwa ukuthi kunembile, kuzodalula konke ukungahambisani namaphutha emlandweni wethu kanye nemvelaphi.
Nokho, lo mgede awukaphenywa futhi uphenywe kahle ngenxa yokuthi le mihubhe mikhulu futhi ibonakala iqhubeka unomphela, kodwa esikubonile kuze kube manje kuyamangaza.
Uhambo oluya e-Cueva de Los Tayos
Ngo-1976, iqembu elikhulu lohambo (The 1976 BCRA Expedition) langena eCueva de Los Tayos lifuna imigudu yokwenziwa, igolide elalahlekayo, imifanekiso eqoshiwe eyinqaba, “nomtapo wezincwadi wensimbi” wasendulo, okuthiwa ushiywe impucuko elahlekile esizwa abantu bangaphandle. Phakathi kweqembu kwakukhona owayengusonkanyezi waseMelika uNeil Armstrong, sesishilo.
Isikhathi eside njengoba noma ubani engakhumbula, abomdabu Abantu baseShuar base-Ecuador bebelokhu bengena ohlelweni olukhulu lwemigede emagqumeni asempumalanga e-Andes ambozwe yihlathi. Ziyehla, zisebenzisa izitebhisi ezenziwe ngamavini, zidlule kwenye yeminyango emithathu eqondile, enkulu kunazo zonke engumgodi wamamitha angu-213 ukujula (amamitha angu-65) oholela kunethiwekhi yemigudu namakamelo anwebekayo, ngokwazi kwethu. okungenani amamayela angu-2.85. Igumbi elikhulu kunawo wonke lilinganisa amafidi angama-295 ngamamitha angama-787.
KumaShuar, le migede sekuyisikhathi eside iyisikhungo semikhuba engokomoya nemikhosi, ikhaya lemimoya enamandla kanye nama-tarantulas, scorpions, izicabucabu, nama-rainbow boas. Futhi ziyikhaya lezinyoni zasebusuku, ezaziwa endaweni ngokuthi ama-tayos, yingakho igama lomhume. Ama-tayos awukudla okuthandwayo kwamaShuar, esinye isizathu esenza abe nesibindi ekujuleni kwesimiso somhume.
Endimeni yabo njengabanakekeli bohlelo lomhume, abakwaShuar babeshiywe ngokuthula phakathi nekhulu leminyaka elidlule noma amabili, ngaphandle komhloli wegolide owayezihlola ngezikhathi ezithile ngawo-1950 kanye nawo-'60s. Kuze kube yileso sikhathi, u-Erich von Däniken othile wanquma ukuhileleka.
Umbhali waseSwitzerland wathwebula umcabango womhlaba wonke ngo-1968 ngokushicilelwa kwencwadi yakhe Izinqola Zonkulunkulu? okwakuyingxenye enkulu eyabangela ukuvela kwamanje kwemibono yasendulo yosomkhathi. Khona-ke, eminyakeni emithathu kamuva, washicilela Igolide Lonkulunkulu, eveza inkolelo-mbono eyaziwa kancane mayelana ne-Cueva de Los Tayos ekufundeni kwakhe ngokulangazela.
In Igolide Lonkulunkulu, u-von Däniken walandisa lokho okwashiwo uJános Juan Móricz, umhloli wamazwe owathi wangena emigedeni ngo-1969. Ngaphakathi emhumeni, wagomela ngokuthi wayethole inqolobane yegolide, izinto zobuciko eziyinqaba nemifanekiso eqoshiwe “nomtapo wezincwadi wensimbi” equkethe ulwazi olulahlekile olugcinwe ezibhebheni zensimbi. Futhi imigede ngokwayo yayingeyokwenziwa, wathi, yadalwa ubuhlakani obuthile obuthuthukile manje obulahlekile emlandweni.
Iphinde yagqugquzela uhambo lokuqala lwesayensi oluya eCueva de Los Tayos. I-1976 BCRA Expedition yayiholwa ngu-Stan Hall, unjiniyela womphakathi wase-Scottish owayefunde umsebenzi ka-von Däniken. Yakhula ngokushesha yaba ngolunye lwemigede emikhulu yesikhathi sayo, inabantu abangaphezu kwe-100 abahilelekile. Laba bahlanganisa izikhulu zikahulumeni waseBrithani kanye ne-Ecuadorian, ososayensi abaholayo kanye nama-speleologists, amabutho ayisipesheli aseBrithani, ama-professional cavers, futhi akekho omunye ngaphandle kukasonkanyezi u-Neil Armstrong, owasebenza njengoMongameli Ohloniphekile walolu hambo.
Lolu hambo lwaba yimpumelelo, okungenani ezifisweni zalo ezingenangqondo. Uxhaxha olubanzi lwemigede lwenziwe imephu ngokucophelela kakhulu kunangaphambili. Okutholwe nge-Zoological and Botanical kwarekhodwa. Futhi kwatholwa imivubukulo. Kodwa alitholakalanga igolide, azikho izinto zobuciko zomhlaba ezitholakele, futhi kwakungekho phawu lomtapo wezincwadi wensimbi. Isimiso somhume, futhi, sabonakala siwumphumela wamandla emvelo kunanoma yiluphi uhlobo lobunjiniyela obuphambili.
Intshisekelo nge-Cueva de Los Tayos ayiphindanga yafinyelela eziqongweni zohambo lwango-1976, kodwa selokhu kwenzeka izinkambo eziningi zocwaningo. Olunye uhambo lwakamuva kube olokaJosh Gates neqembu lakhe lwesizini yesine yochungechunge lwethelevishini Uhambo Olungaziwa. UGates ungene ohlelweni lomhume nabaqondisi bakaShuar kanye no-Eileen Hall, indodakazi kamufi uStan Hall kusukela ohambweni lwango-1976.
Isiphetho
Nakuba uhambo olufana nalolu luye lwaholela ekutholweni okuthakazelisayo kwesayensi yezilwane nezindawo, alukho uphawu lwegolide, i-aliens, noma umtapo wolwazi. Kodwa-ke, ezinye zalezi zifundo ziye zaqinisa ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi imigudu yemigede idalwe ngokuzenzakalelayo. Ngakho-ke umbuzo ongaphenduki kakhulu uthi: Kungani umuntu engakha uhlelo lomgede omkhulu kangaka? Kubonakala sengathi abantu yibo ababenomthwalo wemfanelo wokwakhiwa kwale migede. Kodwa ubani futhi nini owanikezwa umsebenzi wokuklama isimiso esiyinkimbinkimbi nesiyinkimbinkimbi kangaka?
Kungani wakhela into ejulile kangaka eMhlabeni uma ungenayo into ongayifihla? Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi, umhume uyaqhubeka nokuvusa ilukuluku lohlu olubanzi lwezifundiswa nabacwaningi.
