Emhlabeni omkhulu wezimfihlakalo kanye ne-paranormal, okungaqondakali okumbalwa okuthathe umcabango njengogebhezi lwekhanda le-Starchild, ugebhezi lwekhanda olufana nomuntu olungajwayelekile olwatholwa eMexico. Umsuka oxakile we-artifact kanye nemvelo kuqubule izinkulumompikiswano ezishubile futhi kwashiya ososayensi nabashisekeli be-paranormal bedidekile iminyaka.
Ugebhezi lweStarchild lwatholwa nguLloyd Pye, umbhali nomfundisi emkhakheni wolwazi oluhlukile, ngoFebhuwari 1999. NgokukaPye, owashona ngoDisemba 9, 2013, ugebhezi lwatholakala cishe ngo-1930 emhubheni wasemayini cishe iminyaka eyi-100. amamayela aseningizimu-ntshonalanga yedolobha lase-Mexico i-Chihuahua, e-Chihuahua, engcwatshwe eduze nohlaka lwamathambo omuntu oluvamile olwaluvezwe obala futhi lulele phezu komhubhe.
Ugebhezi alujwayelekile ezicini ezimbalwa. Udokotela wamazinyo unqume ukuthi ugebhezi lwekhanda lwengane, ngenxa yamazinyo angaphumi athintekile ku-maxilla engaphezulu kwesokudla ehlobene etholakala nogebhezi. Kodwa-ke, umthamo wengaphakathi logebhezi lwekhanda le-starchild ungama-cubic centimeters angu-1600, okungama-cubic centimeter angu-200 mkhulu kunobuchopho bomuntu omdala ovamile, kanye nama-cubic centimeter angu-400 mkhulu kunomuntu omdala olingana nosayizi ofanayo.
Ososayensi abavamile bagcizelela ukuthi ukuwohloka kogebhezi lwe-Starchild empeleni kubangelwa ukuphazamiseka kofuzo, okungenzeka ukuthi yi-Hydrocephalus. Lesi simo sihlanganisa ukunqwabelana koketshezi olungavamile ogebhezini lwekhanda, okuholela ekwandeni.
Kodwa uPye wayekukhiphile lokhu okungenzeka ngokusekelwe ekubumbeni kwayo okuyingqayizivele. UPye wathi ugebhezi lwe-Hydrocephalus luqhuma ngendlela engavamile njengebhaluni elinezimo ezihlukene, futhi ngenxa yalokhu, umsele ongemuva kogebhezi awuhlali, kodwa umsele ocacile ungabonakala ku-Starchild Skull.
Imizila yogebhezi lwekhanda i-oval futhi ayishoni, i-optic nerve canal itholakala ezansi ku-orbit esikhundleni sengemuva. Awekho awoni angaphambili. Ingemuva logebhezi liyisicaba, kodwa hhayi ngendlela yokwenziwa. Ugebhezi luqukethe i-calcium hydroxyapatite, into evamile yethambo lezilwane ezincelisayo, kodwa kunokugcwala ngokweqile kwe-collagen kulo, okungaphezu kokuvamile ethanjeni lomuntu.
Ugebhezi lunengxenye yogqinsi lwamathambo omuntu ajwayelekile futhi luminyene ngokuphindwe kabili kunethambo lomuntu elivamile elinokufana okufana noqweqwe lwamazinyo.
I-Carbon 14 dating yenziwa kabili, eyokuqala ogebheni lwekhanda lomuntu oluvamile e-University of California e-Riverside ngo-1999, nase-Starchild skull ngo-2004 e-Beta Analytic e-Miami, indawo yokucwaninga nge-radiocarbon enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni. Kokubili ukuhlolwa okuzimele kwanikeza umphumela weminyaka engama-900 ± iminyaka engama-40 selokhu kwashona.
Ukuhlolwa kwe-DNA e-Trace Genetics ngo-2003 kwathola i-mitochondrial DNA futhi kwatholakala ukuthi ingane inomama ongumuntu; nokho, abakwazanga ukuthola i-DNA yenuzi noma i-DNA kubo bobabili umama nobaba naphezu kwemizamo eyisithupha.
Babona ukuthi kukhona okushaya amanzi ngolibofuzo lukababa, futhi ngokobufakazi baphetha ngokuthi ingane iyingxube kamama ongumuntu noyise wemvelaphi engaqondakali.
Kodwa ukuhlolwa kwe-DNA okuthuthuke kakhulu ngo-2011 kwembula okuthile okushaqisayo nakakhulu: I-DNA, hhayi ekababa kuphela kodwa nomama, ayizange ibonakale ingeyomuntu. Manje, ubufakazi bofuzo bubonisa ukuthi nomntwana wayengenaye umama ongumuntu. Wayengumuntu nje wasemhlabeni.
Ugebhezi lwe-Starchild lumelela imfihlakalo ejulile ebekela inselele ukuqonda kwethu imvelaphi yomuntu. Kungumbono wezwe elingaphezu kowethu, izwe elidinga ukuhlola nokuqonda okwengeziwe. Ingabe siyoke siliqonde ngempela iqiniso elingemuva kogebhezi lwekhanda le-Starchild? Isikhathi kuphela esizosho.
Ngemva kokufunda ngemvelaphi engaqondakali yogebhezi lwe-Starchild, funda mayelana Eminyakeni engu-12,000 edlule, iShayina yayihlala abantu abangaqondakali abanekhanda leqanda!
