Abavubukuli bathole izinsalela zethempeli elisukela eminyakeni eyizi-2,700, kuze kufike esikhathini lapho umbuso obizwa ngokuthi iKush ububusa endaweni enkulu, okuhlanganisa lokho manje okuyiSudan, Egypt kanye nezingxenye zeMpumalanga Ephakathi.
Izinsalela zethempeli zatholakala esigodlweni sangeNkathi Ephakathi e-Old Dongola, indawo ephakathi kwe-cataract yesithathu neyesine yoMfula iNayile eSudan yanamuhla.
Amanye amatshe ethempeli ayehlotshiswe ngemifanekiso nemibhalo eqoshiwe. Ukuhlaziywa kwesithonjana neskripthi kuphakamisa ukuthi beziyingxenye yesakhiwo esisukela engxenyeni yokuqala yenkulungwane yokuqala yeminyaka BC.
Ukutholwa kwaba isimanga, ngoba akukho okutholakele okusukela emuva eminyakeni eyi-2,700 okwakwaziwa kusukela e-Old Dongola, abavubukuli bePolish Center of Mediterranean Archaeology eNyuvesi yaseWarsaw basho esitatimendeni.
Phakathi kwezinye zezinsalela zethempeli, abavubukuli bathola izingcezu zemibhalo eqoshiwe, okuhlanganisa nenye ekhuluma ngokuthi ithempeli linikezelwe ku-Amun-Ra waseKawa, uDawid Wieczorek, isazi sase-Egypt esisebenzisana nethimba labacwaningi, utshele i-Live Science nge-imeyili. U-Amun-Ra wayengunkulunkulu owayekhulekelwa eKush naseGibhithe, kanti iKawa iyindawo yemivubukulo eSudan equkethe ithempeli. Akukacaci ukuthi amabhulokhi asanda kutholwa asuka kuleli thempeli noma alisekho yini.
UJulia Budka, uprofesa wezesayensi yemivubukulo eLudwig Maximilian University yaseMunich owenze umsebenzi omkhulu eSudan kodwa akazibandakanyi nalo msebenzi wocwaningo, utshele i-Live Science nge-imeyili ukuthi "kuwukutholwa okubaluleke kakhulu futhi kubuza imibuzo eminingana."
Ngokwesibonelo, ucabanga ukuthi kungase kudingeke ucwaningo olwengeziwe ukuze kutholakale usuku oluqondile lwethempeli. Omunye umbuzo ngothi ngabe ithempeli lalikhona e-Old Dongola noma izinsalela zahanjiswa zisuka eKawa noma kwenye indawo, njengeGebel Barkal, indawo eseSudan enamathempeli amaningi nemibhoshongo, kusho uBudka. Nakuba ukutholwa “kubaluleke kakhulu” futhi “kujabulisa kakhulu,” “kusesekuseni kakhulu ukuthi ungasho okuthile okunembayo,” futhi ucwaningo olwengeziwe luyadingeka, esho.
Ucwaningo e-Old Dongola lusaqhubeka. Ithimba liholwa ngu-Artur Obłuski, isazi semivubukulo esikhungweni sasePoland se-Mediterranean Archaeology.
