ʻO ka Chocolate Hills ma ka Philippines kahi wahi huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi no ko lākou ʻano pohihihi, ʻano, a me nā moʻolelo hoihoi e hoʻopuni ana iā lākou.
ʻO nā puʻu kokoleka o Bohol he mau molehills nunui i uhi ʻia i ka mauʻu ʻōmaʻomaʻo e ʻeleʻele i ka wā maloʻo, no laila ka inoa. Hana ʻia lākou i ka pōhaku kēpau i haki ʻia e ka ua i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, a ua hoʻokaʻawale nā loea iā lākou ma ke ʻano he ʻano kālaihonua, akā ʻae lākou ʻaʻole maopopo iā lākou pehea lākou i hana ai.
Ma muli o ka mālama ʻia ʻana o kahi noiʻi ākea, aia ka helu ma waena o 1,269 a me 1,776. Hoʻokumu ka Chocolate Hills i kahi ʻāina e hele nei i nā puʻu e like me ka haycock - nā puʻu o ke ʻano conical a ʻaneʻane simetretrical. Hoʻololi nā puʻu like cone i ke kiʻekiʻe mai 98 kapuaʻi (30 mika) a 160 mika (50 mika), me ke kiʻekiʻena kiʻekiʻe e hiki aku ana i 390 kapuaʻi (120 mau mika).
Ma muli o ka manaʻo ua ka ua nui ʻo ia ka mea hana mua, manaʻo ka ʻepekema he pūnaewele o nā muliwai ma lalo o ka honua a me nā ana ma lalo o kēia mau puʻu ʻano cone. Ke ulu nei kēia ʻōnaehana lalo honua i kēlā me kēia makahiki ke hemo ka limestone ke ninini nei ka wai ua.
ʻO ka Chocolate Hills kekahi o nā mea kupaianaha kūlohelohe ʻehiku o ʻAsia, a ʻike ʻia lākou ma ka hae panalāʻau o Bohol. Mālama nui nā luna iā lākou no ka mea he mea mākaʻikaʻi nui ia, e hoʻopilikia ana i ka pilikia no kekahi archaeologist e makemake ana e hele i waho o nā pane maʻalahi i hāʻawi ʻia e nā mea i kapa ʻia he loea.
Aia kekahi mau manaʻo kipi e pili ana i nā Chocolate Hills. ʻO ka mea kaulana loa ko lākou dome a i ʻole pyramidal form, e hōʻike hou nei i ko lākou ʻano hana.
Ke haʻohaʻo nei ka poʻe inā ʻo ka puʻu ka hana a kānaka a i ʻole nā mea kaʻao ʻē aʻe no ka mea ʻaʻole i alakaʻi ʻia kahi noiʻi hohonu.
Ke nānā mākou i nā moʻolelo o ka Philippines, ʻike mākou i nā pilikua nāna i hoʻomaka kahi hakakā pōhaku nui a hōʻole ʻole e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i nā ʻōpala, a i ʻole kekahi pilikua i kaumaha i kona haku wahine make i kona wā i make ai, a ua hoʻomaloʻo kona mau waimaka a hana i nā Chocolate Hills. .
ʻOiai he mau kaao wale nō ia, pili mau lākou nā pilikua nāna i hoʻokumu i kēia mau kūkulu ʻano ʻē. No laila, he aha paha ka mea e noho ana ma lalo o kēia mau anthill nunui?
Wahi a kekahi kumumanaʻo, ʻo kēia paha nā puʻu kanu kanu o nā mōʻī kahiko o kēia ʻāina i make. ʻIke ʻia ʻo ʻAsia me nā pyramids, nā puʻu kanu kupapaʻu, a me nā kiʻi hoʻolewa kiʻekiʻe, e like me ka ʻO Terracotta Warriors, i kanu ʻia ma ka ʻaoʻao o Qin Shi Huang, ka Emepela mua o Kina.
Akā, inā he ʻoiaʻiʻo kēia, no ke aha ʻaʻole makemake ka Philippines e ʻike i kahi hoʻoilina hoʻoilina nui? ʻO kahi wehewehe wehewehe ʻia paha ʻo ka mea ma lalo o kēia mau puʻu ʻaʻole e wehewehe maʻalahi ʻia e ko mākou ʻike o kēia manawa, ma ka liʻiliʻi me ka noʻonoʻo ʻole ʻana i kahi ʻāpana nui o ka mōʻaukala.
Inā hoʻokūpaʻa ʻia aia, hiki i ka waiwai o ka Chocolate Hills ke hoʻopili i nā mea āpau mai nā relics o nā mea extraterrestrial i nā luna kahiko i ʻike ʻole ʻia a i ʻole ʻenehana kiʻekiʻe.
Ina e puka mai ana keia mea mai lalo mai o ka Chocolate Hills, aole makemake na mana e hoomalu ana ia kakou e a'o ka lehulehu ia mea. Ma muli o ka nui o kēia wahi a me ka nui o ka poʻe malihini kipa e kipa mau iā ia, ʻaʻole e nānā ʻia kēlā ʻike.
ʻO ka lua, ka wehewehe kūpono aʻe e hōʻike ana i nā Chocolate Hills ma ke ʻano he kūlohelohe, akā ʻaʻole ia ma muli o ka hopena o ka ua, akā ma muli o ka hopena o ka hana geothermal i hoʻonui ʻia e nā luaipele hana o ia wahi. Ma hope o nā mea āpau, aia ka Philippines ma ka 'Ring of Fire', ka ʻāpana hana seismically ʻoi loa o ka honua.
ʻAʻole paha mākou e ʻike i ko lākou kumu kumu a hiki i ka wā e hoʻokō ʻia ai nā ʻeli hou aʻe. Hiki iā mākou ke wānana i kēia a hiki i kēlā lā. No laila, he aha kou manaʻo e hana nei? Hana ʻia kēia mau hale ʻano ʻē? A i ʻole kahi ʻāpana kiʻi na kahi colossus? A i hana paha nā lua pele i kahi mea hanohano a ka naʻau kanaka oʻo e hoʻomaopopo ʻole ai?
