I ka makahiki 2017, he hui o nā kālaihonua a me nā mea noiʻi ua ʻike ʻo ia i kekahi kūlanakauhale poina lōʻihi ma ka ʻāina ʻo Harlaa hikina o ʻAitiopa. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia ka 'City of Giants' kahiko, i kūkulu ʻia ma kahi o ke kenekulia 10 BC. Ua ʻike ʻia ka ʻike e kahi hui honua o nā archaeologists, me nā mea noiʻi mai ke Kulanui o Exeter a me ka ʻAitiopa Cultural Heritage Research and Conservation Authority.
ʻO nā kūlanakauhale nui i kūkulu ʻia a noho ʻia e nā pilikua ke kumuhana o kekahi mau moʻolelo a me nā moʻolelo. ʻO nā loina o kekahi mau ʻahahui i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia e nā moana nui i hōʻike ʻia pēlā aia nā pilikua i noho ma ka Honua, a me nā hale megalithic he nui mai nā wā like ʻole o ka mōʻaukala e hōʻike pū ana i ko lākou ola ʻana.
Wahi a ka moʻolelo moʻolelo Mesoamerican, ʻo ka Quinametzin he lāhui kanaka nunui i hana ʻia i ke kūkulu ʻana ʻO ke kūlanakauhale nui o Teotihuacán, i kukuluia e na akua o ka la. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia kahi ʻano like ʻole o kēia kumuhana ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa: nā kūlanakauhale nui, nā monuments, a me nā hale nui i hiki ʻole i nā kānaka maʻamau ke kūkulu i ka wā i kūkulu ʻia ai lākou, mahalo i ka holomua o ka ʻepekema.
Ma kēia ʻāpana o ʻAitiopa, ʻo ia ka mea e hana nei. Wahi a nā kamaʻāina o kēia manawa, ua hoʻopuni ʻia nā hale nui i kūkulu ʻia me nā poloka nui i ke kahua o Harlaa, e hāpai ana i ka manaʻo kaulana ʻo ia ka home o kahi "City of Giants" kaulana. Ua wehe nā kama'āina i nā kālā mai nā ʻāina like ʻole, a me nā seramika kahiko, i nā makahiki, wahi a lākou. Ua ʻike ʻia hoʻi nā pōhaku hale nunui ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻoneʻe ʻia e nā kānaka me ke kōkua ʻole o nā mīkini hou.
ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o kēia mau hale i kūkulu ʻia e nā kānaka maʻamau i manaʻo ʻia he hiki ʻole no ka manawa lōʻihi ma muli o kēia mau kumu. Ua loaʻa kekahi mau mea kaulana ma muli o ka ʻeli ʻana o ke kaona kahiko.
Ke kulanakauhale nalowale ma Harlaa
Pīhoihoi ka poʻe loea i ka wā i ʻike ai lākou i nā mea kahiko mai nā wahi mamao aku i kahi ʻike kupanaha. Ua ʻike ʻia nā mea mai ʻAigupita, India, a me Kina e nā loea, e hōʻike ana i ka hiki ke kālepa o ka ʻāina.
ʻO kahi mosque mai ke kenekulia 12, e like me nā mea i ʻike ʻia ma Tanzania, a me kahi ʻāina kūʻokoʻa o Somaliland, kahi ʻāina i ʻike ʻole ʻia he ʻāina, ua ʻike pū ʻia e nā mea noiʻi. ʻO ka ʻike, e like me nā archaeologists, e hōʻike ana aia nā pilina mōʻaukala ma waena o nā kaiāulu Islam like ʻole ma ʻApelika i kēlā manawa.
ʻĀlapa hulikoehana Timothy Insoll, he polopeka ma ke Kulanui o Exeter, nāna i alakaʻi i ka noiʻi: "ʻO kēia ʻike e hoʻololi i ko mākou ʻike i ke kālepa ma kahi ʻāpana archaeologically i mālama ʻole ʻia o ʻAitiopa. ʻO ka mea i loaʻa iā mākou e hōʻike ana i kēia wahi ke kikowaena o ke kālepa ma ia wahi. He kikowaena waiwai nui ke kūlanakauhale no ka hana ʻana i nā mea nani a lawe ʻia nā ʻāpana e kūʻai ʻia a puni ka ʻāina a ma waho. ʻO ka poʻe noho o Harlaa he hui hui ʻia o nā haole a me nā kamaʻāina i kālepa pū me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe ma ke Kaiʻula, Moana Inia a hiki paha i ke Kaiwa Arabian.
He kūlanakauhale pilikua?
Manaʻo nā kamaʻāina o ka ʻāina ʻo Harlaa e hiki ke kūkulu ʻia e nā pilikua, e like me ko lākou manaʻoʻiʻo. ʻO ko lākou manaʻo, ʻo ka nui o nā poloka pōhaku i hana ʻia i kēia mau hale hiki ke lawe wale ʻia e nā pilikua nui. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻaʻole he poʻe maʻamau kēia no ka nui o nā hale.
Ma hope o ka nānā ʻana i ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻekolu haneli mau kupapaʻu i ʻike ʻia ma ka hale kupapaʻu kūloko, ʻike ʻia nā mea kālaihonua he ʻano waena ke kino o nā kānaka, a no laila ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia he pilikua. Ua kanu ʻia nā ʻōpio a me nā ʻōpio i nā hale kupapaʻu i ʻike ʻia, e like me ka Insoll, ʻo ia hoʻi ke kuleana o ka nānā ʻana i nā mea kālaihonua e hana ana i ka ʻeli. No ka manawa, he kiʻekiʻe maʻamau lākou a pau.
ʻOiai e ʻae ana i ka ʻikepili i hāʻawi ʻia e ka poʻe loea, mālama ka poʻe ʻōiwi ʻaʻole lākou i manaʻoʻiʻo i kā lākou ʻike a mālama ʻia ʻo nā pilikua wale nō i hiki ke kūkulu i kēia mau hale monumental. ʻAʻole ʻo ia ka manawa mua i hoʻokuʻu ai ka ʻepekema hou i kahi moʻolelo i ola no nā haneli mau makahiki ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana moʻolelo.
He aha ka mea e pili ana i ka poʻe kamaʻāina i maopopo ai iā lākou ke kuleana o nā pilikua i ke kūkulu ʻana i nā hale Harlaa? I loko o kēia mau makahiki, ua hana lākou i kekahi nānā? ʻAʻole ia he kumu no ka hana ʻana a hoʻopunipuni paha i kekahi mea like.
ʻOiai ʻaʻole hāʻawi nā hale kupapaʻu i nā hōʻike o ke ola ʻana o nā pilikua, ʻaʻole kēia e kāpae i ka hiki ke komo nā pilikua i ke kūkulu ʻana i ke kahua. Manaʻo ka poʻe he nui ʻaʻole i kanu ʻia kēia mau mea ma kahi hoʻokahi no ka mea ua manaʻo ʻia lākou he ʻano nui a ikaika. ʻAʻole ʻae kekahi.
