Native Winnebago kana Ho-Chunk vanhu vakataura nezve "musha wakanyura wedombo tepees" pasi peRock Lake kubvira kutanga kwema1830s, apo mapiyona ekutanga akauya mudunhu rekumaodzanyemba kweWisconsin pakati - izvo zvino ― Milwaukee necapitol kuMadison.
Kusvikira vavhimi vaviri vemadhadha vakadongorera padivi pechikepe chavo panguva yekusanaya kwemvura kwemvura pakutanga kwezana ramakore rechimakumi maviri, ngano yavo yakarambwa senganowo zvayo yeIndia.
Vakaona chimiro chepiramidhi chihombe chakasara chakasviba uye chakakura mukatikati meRombo Lake. Kubva ipapo, chivakwa chakavigwa chave chakafukidzwa nemakakatanwa nekuda kwekushata kwekuonekwa kwepasi kuchibatsirwa nekusvibiswa.
Dr. Fayette Morgan, chiremba wemazino womunzvimbomo uye mutyairi wemauto ekutanga muWisconsin, ndiye munhu wekutanga kuona Rock Lake kubva kumusoro musi waKubvumbi 11, 1936. Akaona kusviba kwezviumbwa zviviri zvine makona pazasi pedhamu pedyo nepakati paro kubva. iyo cockpit yakavhurika yelanky biplane yake ichitenderera pamamita mazana mashanu.
Akapfuura akawanda uye akaona kuenzana kwavo nehukuru hukuru, hwaaifunga kuti hwaipfuura 100 tsoka imwe. Dr. Morgan vakaburuka kuti vadire mafuta ndokumhanyira kumba kunotora kamera yavo, vakabva vabhururuka pakarepo kuti vabate zvinhu zvakanga zvanyura mufirimu. Zviyeuchidzo zvakanga zvanyura mudhamu racho zvakanga zvapera muchiedza chemasikati panguva yaakadzoka pamusoro paro.
Kuedza kwakatevera uye kwakadzokororwa kuvatora mifananidzo kana kuti kuvawanazve kubva mumhepo kwakakundikana kusvika 1940 pavakazoonekwazve nemutyairi wendege, Armand Vandre, uye mucherechedzi wake wekumashure, Elmer Wollin.
Asi sezvo ndege yavo ine injini imwe yakanyura nechokumaodzanyemba kwedhamu iri pamamita asingasviki chiuru, vakakatyamadzwa nechiono chakasiana chose chose. Chimiro chegonyo chikuru, chakanyatsonangana chakanongedza kuchamhembe chaive pasi pawo, pasi pemamita asingasviki makumi maviri emvura. Peya yedenderedzwa nhema yakamira pedyo neimwe yakananga panhongonya.
Zvivakwa gumi zvinogona kuwanikwa pasi peRombo Lake. Vanosiyanisa ganda uye sonar vakamepu uye vakatora maviri acho. Nhamba 1, inonzi Limnatis Pyramid, ine hupamhi hwemamita makumi matanhatu, kureba kwemafiti 60, uye kureba kwemafiti gumi nemasere, kunyange zvazvo inenge mamita gumi chete inokwira pamusoro pemvura ine silt.
Ipiramidhi rakachekwa rakagadzirwa kazhinji nematombo matema. Matombo ari pamusoro wakachekwa ane squarish. Zvinokwanisika kuona zvakasara zvekufukidzira plaster. Kureba kwemativi ega ega eDelta akaenzana kwakafungidzirwa naVandre naWollin kuita 300 tsoka. Kachitsuwa kadiki kakavigwa, kangangoita mamita 1,500 kureba uye mamita 400 kufara, kari kuchamhembe kwakadziva kumabvazuva kwegonyonhatu.
Chakanyanya kushamisa yaive nzira yakatwasuka yaifamba pasi pemvura ichibva kumahombekombe ekumaodzanyemba kusvika panhongonya yegomba rakavigwa. Apo Frank Joseph akataura nezvecherechedzo yacho kuna Lloyd Hornbostel, nyanzvi yenzvimbo yomunzvimbomo, akafunga kuti mutsetse wacho wakanga uri zvisaririra zvomugero mukuru wematombo waibatanidza Rock Lake neAztalan, mamaira matatu kure.
Aztalan parizvino iri 21-acre archaeological park ine madziro akazara anovhara zvishoma maPiramidhi eZuva neMwedzi, maviri evhu tembere murwi. Nzvimbo yemhemberero yaive yakakura zvakapetwa kaviri panguva yayo yekukura mukupera kwezana ramakore rechi 13. Yaiva nemadziro matatu edenderedzwa ane shongwe dzevarindi dzaivharira utatu hwevhu remapiramidhi pamusoro penzvimbo tsvene dzemapuranga.
Aztalan yaive yeUpper Mississippian Tsika, iyo yakabudirira muAmerican Midwest uye kumaodzanyemba mudanho rayo rekupedzisira, kutanga ingangoita 1,100 AD, ukuwo kabhoni-yekufambidzana kwakaratidza midzi yayo yekare inozivikanwa muzana ramakore rechitatu BC.
Huwandu hwayo hwakakwira pa20,000 vanhu, vaigara kumativi ese emadziro. Vaitungamirirwa nevazivi venyeredzi-vapristi vainyatsorongedza mapiramidhi avo kuti averenge zviitiko zvenyeredzi zvakati wandei zvakaita senguva yechando, nhanho dzemwedzi, uye nzvimbo dzeVenus.
Munenge mugore ra1320, vaAztalaners vakapisa zvisinganzwisisike kuguta ravo, vachisiya masvingo aro akaputirwa nemoto. Ivo vakadzokera kure kumaodzanyemba, mukuwirirana negamuchidzanwa rakapukunyuka reWinnebago. Kubuda kwavo kwakaitika kwakabatana nekukura kwakamwe kamwe kwenyika yeAztec muMupata weMexico.
“Kuwanwa kwezvivako zvakanyura imomo kungafanotaura chimwe chikuru zvikuru chichauya apo pakupedzisira tinonangidzira fundo yedu mugungwa ndokunzvera kudzika kwaro nokuda kwegungwa. yakarasika chitubu chebudiriro yenyika—Atlantis.”
Rock Lake ine mukurumbira nekuda kwezvivakwa zvaro zvematombo zvakavigwa - mapiramidhi anovigwa evarume vakashanda mumigodhi yemhangura yeMichigan's Upper Peninsula kubva 3000 BC kusvika 1200 BC. Migodhi iyi ingangove yakacherwa nekudzorwa nemainjiniya eAtlante, saka mamwe makuva epasi pemvura anosanganisira mapfupa evashandi veAtlantean, sekureva kwaFrank Joseph.
