Kutholwe isifanekiso esisha sikaMoaiI-Easter Island, isiqhingi esikude esinentaba-mlilo esiyindawo ekhethekile yaseChile, ekuqaleni kwaleli sonto.
Izithombe eziqoshwe ngamatshe zenziwe yisizwe sasePolynesia somdabu eminyakeni engaphezu kwengu-500 edlule.Osanda kutholwa utholwe echibini elomile esiqhingini, ngokusho kwephini likamongameli waseMa'u Henua, uSalvador Atan Hito.Izindaba ze-ABCkuqalakubikaukuthola.
I-Ma'u Henua yinhlangano yoMdabu eyengamele indawo yokulondoloza imvelo yesiqhingi.Lokhu kutholakala kuthiwa kubalulekile emphakathini waseRapa Nui.
Cishe kukhona amaMoai angu-1,000 enziwe ngezintaba-mlilo e-Easter Island.Okude kunawo wonke amafidi angama-33.Ngokwesilinganiso, zinesisindo esiphakathi kwamathani ama-3 ukuya kwangu-5, kodwa ezisinda kakhulu zingaba nesisindo esingama-80.
“Ama-moai abalulekile ngoba amelela ngempela umlando wamaRapa Nui,” uTerry Hunt, uprofesaimivubukuloeNyuvesi yase-Arizona, utsheleABC.“Kwakungokhokho babantu bakulezi ziqhingi.Ziyisakhiwo sodumo emhlabeni wonke, futhi zimelela ngempela ifa elimangalisayo lemivubukulo yalesi siqhingi.”
Nakuba lesi sithombe esisanda kuvulwa sisincane kunezinye, ukutholakala kwaso kuphawula esokuqala echibini elomile.
Lokhu kwatholakala ngenxa yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu kule ndawo—ichibi elizungeze lo mfanekiso oqoshiwe lase lomile.Uma izimo ezomile ziqhubeka, kungenzeka ukuthi uMoai ongaziwa okwamanje angavela.
“Zifihlwe umhlanga omude omila echibini, futhi ukuhlola ngento ekwazi ukubona ukuthi yini engaphansi komhlaba kungase kusitshele ukuthi empeleni kunenqwaba yama-moai endaweni engaphansi kwechibi,” kusho uHunt.“Lapho kune-moai eyodwa echibini, cishe kuba ngaphezulu.”
Ithimba liphinde lithungatha amathuluzi asetshenziswa ukuqophaIzithombe ze-Moaikanye nemibhalo ehlukahlukene.
Indawo Yamagugu Omhlaba evikelwe yi-UNESCO iyisiqhingi esikude kakhulu emhlabeni.Izithombe ze-Moai, ikakhulukazi, zikhanga kakhulu izivakashi.
Ngonyaka odlule, isiqhingi sabonaukuqhuma kwentabamlilo okwalimaza izithombe-isehlakalo esiyinhlekelele esabona umhlaba ongaphezu kuka-247 square miles esiqhingini ucekelwa phansi.
