Ngo-2015, abacwaningi abacwaninga nge-Oak Island engaqondakali, esisogwini oluseningizimu ye-Nova Scotia, eCanada, benza isimemezelo esimangalisayo mayelana nokutholakala kwenkemba yemikhosi yamaRoma kanye nokuphahlazeka komkhumbi wamaRoma okungenzeka ukuthi kwakungenzeka, okusikisela ukuthi amatilosi asendulo avakashela eNyakatho Melika ngaphezu kolwandle. inkulungwane yeminyaka ngaphambi kokuba uColumbus enze.
Abacwaningi ababambe iqhaza ochungechungeni Lwesiteshi Somlando I-Curse of Oak Island bathola into eshaqisayo nge-Oak Island, njengoba kwembulwe ngokukhethekile ku-Johnston Press futhi yashicilelwa ku-The Boston Standard. Ukusho ukuthi, lokhu kutholwa okuthakazelisayo kunamandla okubhala kabusha umlando wamazwe aseMelika.
U-J. Hutton Pulitzer, umcwaningi oyinhloko nomhloli womlando, wasebenza ngokuhambisana nezazi ze-Ancient Artifact Preservation Society ukuze enze iphepha mayelana nokutholakele. Leli phepha lenziwe latholakala emphakathini ngo-2016.
Imfihlakalo ye-Oak Island - impicabadala exakayo ezungeze lesi siqhingi
Ukuzingela okungaqondakali kwe-Oak Island kwaqala ngo-1795, lapho uDaniel McGinnis oneminyaka engu-18 ebona izibani eziyinqaba zivela esiqhingini. Emangele, wahamba wayohlola indawo futhi waphawula ukucindezeleka okuyisiyingi endaweni evulekile eseningizimu-mpumalanga yesiqhingi. Eduze, insimbi yayilenga esihlahleni.
Enabangane bakhe abambalwa, uMcGinnis waqala ukumba ekucindezelekeni futhi wathola ungqimba lwamatshe efulegi amamitha ambalwa ngaphansi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, wathola ukuthi izindonga zomgodi zaziphawulwe ngepiki. Njengoba beqhubeka bemba phansi ngezikhawu zamamitha amathathu, bahlangabezana nezingqimba ezengeziwe zezingodo. Naphezu kwawo wonke umzamo, uMcGinnis nabangane bakhe bayeka ukumba ngaphandle kokuthola lutho olubalulekile.
Izincwadi ezimbalwa zabhala ngohambo lwabafana futhi eminyakeni engu-8 kamuva, i-Onslow Company yaya endaweni efanayo ngethemba lokuthola ingcebo okwakucatshangwa ukuthi igqitshwe phansi emgodini. Umgodi Wemali uqanjwe ngokufanele ngenxa yezindaba ezibhalwe ngabafana nenkampani i-Onslow Company yaqala ukumba kodwa bagcina bephoqeleke ukuthi bayiyeke imizamo yabo ngenxa yezikhukhula.
Enkathini engamakhulu amabili eminyaka, kuye kwenziwa ukuhlola okuhlukene komgodi. Kodwa-ke, lokhu kusesha kuye kwaphazanyiswa yizinkinga ezifana nokungena emigedeni namanzi anqwabelana emgodini. Sonke isiqhingi sihlolisisiwe ukuze kutholwe umcebo ongase ube khona, umsebenzi osaqhubeka kuze kube namuhla ngokusebenzisa abantu abaningi abashisekayo.
Ukutholwa okungalindelekile - inkemba yamaRoma eyimpicabadala
Naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi abantu abaningi abafuna umcebo abaphumelelanga, ukutholwa okumangazayo nokungase kuguqule umdlalo kwatholakala ngo-2015. Ukuphahlazeka komkhumbi, okucatshangwa ukuthi owaseRoma, kutholwe eduze kwase-Oak Island, futhi phakathi kwenhlekelele kulondolozwe ngendlela emangalisayo. Inkemba yemikhosi yamaRoma yatholwa.
Engxoxweni neBoston Standard, uPulitzer wadalula ukuthi inkemba yaphakanyiswa olwandle yafakwa emkhunjini wokudoba eminyakeni eminingi edlule; nokho, umtholi kanye nendodana yakhe babemanqikanqika ukwabelana ngezindaba ngenxa yemithetho eqinile yaseNova Scotia ephathelene nokuhlengwa kwezinto ezingozini zomkhumbi.
Noma kunjalo, umndeni womuntu owathola inkemba, osewadlula emhlabeni, usanda kwethula isikhali esingandile kososayensi.
U-Pulitzer wenze izivivinyo ngenkemba esebenzisa i-XRF analyzer futhi imiphumela yabonisa ukuthi inkemba yayinezingxenye zensimbi ezifanayo, kanye ne-arsenic nomthofu, ezazitholakala kwezinye izinto zobuciko zaseRoma.
Kodwa-ke, izazi-mlando ezivamile ngokuvamile zithi lokho okutholakele akunembile njengoba izinto zobuciko ezifana nalezi zingachithwa abaqoqi ezikhathini zanamuhla.
Ubufakazi bokuba khona kwamaRoma
Buningi ubufakazi obusekela inkolelo yokuthi amaRoma ayezinze ezindaweni ezithile. Ukuze aphikise noma yikuphi ukungabaza kokuthi le nsalela yayilahlekile emkhunjini ezikhathini zangaleso sikhathi, uPulitzer neqembu lakhe bamba futhi bathola ingcebo yokwaziswa okwakubonisa ukuthi amaRoma ayefike emazweni aseMelika eminyakeni engaphezu kweyinkulungwane ngaphambi kukaChristopher Columbus. Ubufakazi obunjalo babuhlanganisa:
- Imidwebo yabantu baseMi'kmaq ezindongeni nasematsheni e-Nova Scotia, iqembu likaPulitzer elikholelwa ukuthi angamasosha aseRoma, imikhumbi, nezinye izinto.
- Abantu baseMi'kmaq banomaka ohlukile we-DNA olandela emuva empumalanga yeMedithera.
- Amagama angamashumi amahlanu ngolimi lwe-Mi'kmaq afana namagama e-nautical asetshenziswa amatilosi ngezikhathi zamaRoma.
- Izinhlobo zezitshalo (i-Berberis Vulgaris) ezikhula e-Oak Island nase-Halifax, ezazisetshenziswa amaRoma ukuze linonge ukudla kwazo futhi zilwe ne-scurvy.
- Impempe evela kubutho lezempi laseRoma elatholakala e-Oak Island ngo-1901.
- 'Umphathi' wensimbi ovela kusihlangu saseRoma esatholwa e-Nova Scotia phakathi nawo-1800s.
- Izinhlamvu zemali zegolide zaseCarthage zangezikhathi zamaRoma zatholakala eduze kwase-Oak Island ezweni.
- Amatshe amabili aqoshiwe e-Oak Island abonakala sengathi asuka e-Levant yasendulo.
U-Pulitzer uphawule ku-Boston Standard ukuthi inhlanganisela yezenzakalo eziyinqaba, njengezitshalo, i-DNA, ama-artifacts, ulimi, nemidwebo yasendulo, akumele kushaywe indiva njengokumane kuzenzekele.
UCarl Johannessen, owake wahlotshaniswa neNyuvesi yase-Oregon futhi wenza ucwaningo, uphinde waphawula ukuthi idatha ithole ukungqubuzana nombono owamukelwa kabanzi wokuthi iNew World yatholwa ngo-1492.
Sekuyisikhathi eside kuhlongozwa ukuthi eminye imiphakathi yomlando ifinyelele eZweni Elisha ngaphambi kukaColumbus, ehlanganisa amaViking, amaShayina namaGreki. Nokho, leli iqoqo lokuqala lobufakazi obuqand’ ikhanda bokuthi amatilosi aseRoma kungenzeka afika eNyakatho Melika eminyakeni engaphezu kwenkulungwane edlule.
