ʻO ka hale koa kahiko nui loa i loaʻa i ka Delta hikina o ʻAigupita

Ma ʻAigupita, kahi kūlanakauhale paʻa paʻa kahiko mai ka manawa o ka Mōʻī Psmatik I i ʻike ʻia ma Tell Dafna i ka mokuʻāina ʻo Ismailia.

Ua hōʻike ʻia kahi mikiona archaeological kiʻekiʻe a ka Council Council of Antiquities (SCA) ma Ismailia i ke koena o ke kaona koa e hoʻi ana mai ka wā 26th Dynasty (ca. 664-625 BC), ma ke kahua o Tell Dafna, ma waena o ka El-Manzala Lake a me Suez. Canal, 15km hikina hikina o ke kūlanakauhale o Qantara komohana.

He kūlana kūikawā ko ka Delta hikina ʻĀkau i ʻAigupita kahiko. ʻO kēia wahi kahi kikowaena nui no ke kālepa me ka hikina. ʻO ia kahi kahi o kahi pūʻali koa kahiko a me ke ala kalepa i kapa ʻia ʻo Ways of Horus e pili ana iā ʻAigupita me ka Hikina. Ua hoʻohana ʻia kēia wahi i kūlana kūlana e nā mōʻī Late Period (ca. 747-525 BC), ʻo ia hoʻi nā mea o ka 26th Dynasty i mea e pale aku ai i nā palena hikina o ʻAigupita mai nā mea hoʻouka kaua.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kauka Zahi Hawass, ke kākau ʻōlelo o ka SCA, ua haʻi ʻo King Ramesses II o ka 19 Dynasty (makahiki 1279-1212 BC) i ka pūnaewele o Tell Dafna e kūkulu i kahi kūlanakauhale paʻa ma ka palena hikina o ʻAigupita i mea e kipaku aku ai i ko ʻAigupita poʻe ʻenemi. Hōʻike ka pā kaua hou i ʻike ʻia ua kūkulu ʻo King Psmatik I (ca. 664-610 BC) i mau pā paʻa hou aʻe ma aneʻi.

ʻO Kauka Mohamed Abdel Maksoud, ke poʻo o ka Central Department of the Lower Egypt Antiquities a me ka luna o ka nuʻukia, i ʻōlelo ʻia ua uhi ʻia ka hale paʻa i kahi wahi ma kahi o 380 × 625m, ʻoiai ka paia o ka paia ma kahi o 13m ka laula. Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia ka pā kaua nui loa i ʻike ʻia ma ka hikina Delta.

Ua hōʻike pū ka kime i kahi luakini pōhaku lepo nui nona nā keʻena ʻekolu, kahi hui o nā makasina waihona ma ka ʻaoʻao hikina a me ke komohana o ka luakini a me kahi hale liʻiliʻi pōhaku lepo, me ʻewalu mau lumi, aia ma ka ʻaoʻao kūkulu ʻākau o ka luakini.

Eia hou, ua loaʻa i ka misionari kahi hui o nā ʻupena wai no ka wai ua i loko o nā hale kahiko. ʻO nā auwai he mau ipu lepo i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me kahi pūʻulu ipu ipu lepo i kanu ʻia ma ke one a hiki i ka hohonu o ʻekolu mau mika.

Ua loaʻa he heluna nui o nā ipu lepo, a me nā poʻi ipu kūloko a lawe ʻia mai hoʻi, i loaʻa, wahi a Maksoud. ʻO kēia mau ʻāpana kahi lālā o ka hana kālepa nui ma waena o ʻAigupita, ka Hikina kokoke a me Helene i kēia manawa. ʻO kahi papa keʻokeʻo i kākau ʻia me nā huaʻōlelo Demotic, kekahi Amphora ʻulaʻula a ʻeleʻele hoʻi i kāhiko ʻia ʻo Amphora, kahi hui o nā pōhaku i hoʻohana ʻia no ka wili ʻana i nā ʻanoʻano, kahi amulet i ke ʻano o Wadjet-eye a me nā ʻāpana o nā ipu kohl alabaster kekahi o nā mea i loaʻa. Ua ʻeli ʻia hoʻi nā poʻo pua keleawe, e hōʻike ana i ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana o ka pūʻali koa o ka pūnaewele.

Ua ʻike ʻia nā hana koa kahiko ma Qantara e nā Egyptologists. Ma Qantara Hikina, ʻākau o Sinai, ua ʻike mua kā Maksoud huakaʻi i kahi hale koa koa 18th me nā hale kiaʻi ʻehā huinahā i kūkulu ʻia i ka pōhaku lepo. Me nā pā mānoanoa 4 mika, manaʻo ʻia ka pā kaua ʻo ia ka pale kaua koa mua loa i loaʻa ma ke alanui koa o Horus, kahi i pili mua iā ʻAigupita i Palesetina. ʻO ka pūʻali koa o ʻAigupita i ka wā o ke Aupuni Hou e hōʻike ana i nā hoʻolālā o ʻAigupita me ka pale ʻana i kona puka hikina - i hōʻike ʻia i kahi kōkua i ka wā o ka Mōʻī Seti I loaʻa ma ka paia o Karnak Temple ma Luxor. Hāʻawi ka wahi i nā hale hoʻokele a me nā hale papaa kahiko, ma kahi o 187 tone i ka hiki, i mālama ʻia i nā hua no ka hanai ʻana i nā koa i hoʻonoho ʻia ma Qantara Hikina. Pale aku kēia mau kāne i ka puka hikina o ʻAigupita mai ka poʻe komo kaua ʻenemi.

ʻO ka hui SCA o kēia lā nāna i ʻeli i ka pūʻali koa o Tell Dafna he ʻeono mau kālaihonua, he mea kākau kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi, he mea nānā hale kiʻi a me ka topographer. E hoʻomau ka hana ma ka pūnaewele a hiki i 2010.
