Cishe ngonyaka wezi-3,000 ngaphambi kokuzalwa kukaKristu, abasolwandle abavela e-Asia Minor baba abantu bokuqala ukuhlala eziqhingini zaseCyclades oLwandle i-Aegean. Lezi ziqhingi zicebile ngemithombo yemvelo njengegolide, isiliva, ithusi, i-obsidian, ne-marble, eyasiza lezi zifiki zakuqala ukuba zifinyelele izinga elithile lokuchuma.
Lokhu kuceba kuvumele ukuchuma kwezobuciko, futhi ukuhluka kobuciko be-Cycladic cishe kuboniswa kangcono ngemifanekiso yabo eqoshiwe enemigqa ehlanzekile nencane, ephakathi kobuciko obuhluke kakhulu obukhiqizwe kuyo yonke Inkathi Yethusi e-Aegean.
Lezi zithombe zakhiqizwa kusukela ngo-3,000 BC kwaze kwaba ngu-2,000 BC lapho iziqhingi zithonywa kakhulu impucuko yamaMinoan esekelwe eKrethe.
Laba bafuduki bokuqala cishe babetshala ibhali nokolweni futhi bedoba i-tuna nezinye izinhlanzi olwandle i-Aegean. Eziningana zazo ziye zasinda ekuntshontshweni nasekucekeleni phansi kwempahla yanamuhla, kodwa ezinye, njengalezo zasesiqhingini saseKeros, zabhidlizwa ngamabomu ezikhathini zasendulo.
Ingabe imibono engokwenkolo yalabo abawathola eSiQhingini saseKeros yayihlobene nalolu hlobo lwesenzo? Ngokwazi kwethu, abantu ababehlala eqenjini leziqhingi zaseCyclades abazange bakhulekele onkulunkulu base-Olympian lapho bethulwa okokuqala ngenkulungwane yesibili yeminyaka BC.
Ingabe iKeros, eminyakeni engaba ngu-4,500 XNUMX edlule, yayiyisikhungo senkolo esibalulekile sempucuko yaseCycladic engaqondakali? Kwakuyini ukubaluleka kwabo kweqiniso kanye nenjongo emphakathini wamaCycladic? Zazibaluleke kangakanani izithombe zabo eziyisicaba ezingaqondakali? Njengoba kubonakala, kunemibuzo embalwa ethakazelisayo engaphenduliwe kuze kube manje.
I-Cycladic Culture ibhekisela kusiko lwamaGreki okhokho beziqhingi zaseCyclades eziseningizimu ye-Aegean Sea, kuhlanganise ne-Neolithic kanye ne-Early Bronze Ages. Njengoba kuphawuliwe ngaphambili, impucuko yamaMinoan yayiyingxenye yesiko leCycladic. Phakathi kuka-3,200 BC kanye nezi-2,000 BC, impucuko ethuthuke ngokuphawulekayo yachuma lapho, okwatholwa okuningi okubalulekile okutholakala kulezi ziqhingi zasendulo.
Izinto zobuciko eziningi ezingavamile eziphefumulelwe yile mpucuko engaqondakali zitholwe eziqhingini, kodwa lokho okubizwa nge-Cycladic izibalo ngokungangabazeki kwakungenye yendalo ehluke kakhulu yale mpucuko. Ngobulula bazo, amafomu abo ayindida anamandla obuciko ajulile.
Manje, abacwaningi babheka izimpendulo zemibuzo eminingana ebalulekile ngomlando ongaqondakali weziqhingi zaseCyclades. Okugqama kakhulu omunye waleyo mibuzo eminingi ethokozisayo yilena: Kungani iCycladic Culture ikhiqize iqoqo elikhulu kunawo wonke lezithombe zemabula ezinobuso obuyisicaba zeCycladic?
