ʻO nā makuahine a Fayoum a me nā hale pule

(eTN) - Ua hoʻolaha aku ʻo Kauka Zahi Hawass, Kakauolelo Nui o ka ʻAha Kūkākūkā Nui o nā Antiquities (SCA) i ka pule i hala aku nei ua ʻike ʻia kahi misionari archaeological Lūkini-ʻAmelika i kahi mau mummies Graeco-Roman i mālama maikaʻi ʻia i uhi ʻia i nā pahu pahu. Ua ʻike lākou i ka wā o kahi hana ʻeli maʻamau ma Deir el-Banat necropolis ma Fayoum.

Ua hoʻohui ʻo Hawass i ka misionari i wehe ʻia i ʻekolu pahu i hoʻonani ʻia me nā palapala hoʻomana mai ka Buke o ka poʻe make. Ua loaʻa kekahi mummy i loko o kekahi o kēia mau pahu. Ua uhi ʻia kona mau maka i kahi maka gula. ʻO nā kūpeʻe lima, nā mea nani, a me nā ʻāpana lole he kanahā i hoʻonani ʻia me kahi heleuma, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me kekahi mau hōʻailona kī.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Galina Belova, ke alakaʻi o ka misionari Lūkini, e hana ʻia kekahi hana hou ʻana o ka maka ma ka mummy wahine i ke kau aʻe. Ua wehewehe ʻo ia i ka hoʻihoʻi ʻia ʻana o nā moku ceramic a me nā faience i ʻeli ʻia i nā kau i hala.

Ma mua o nā mummies, ʻike ʻia ʻo Fayoum no kāna mōʻaukala hoʻomana. Kākoʻo nā kauhale ma Fayoum i nā ʻike mua e pili ana i ka hoʻomāinoino ʻana o Roma e nā Karistiano ma ʻAigupita. ʻAʻole ʻike maikaʻi ʻia nā koena archeological mai kēia hoʻomāinoino akā ua hōʻike ʻia. Hiki ke loaʻa nā keʻa Karistiano Coptic mai kēia manawa i nā ana ma Fayoum, ʻo nā mea like i hele i nā malihini i loaʻa i nā hale kupapaʻu pharaonic ma Luxor, a me ka luakini o Dendera kokoke i Qena. Ua lilo paha kēia mau wahi i wahi peʻe no nā Karistiano i ka wā o ka hoʻomaʻau ʻana o Roma.

ʻO ka manawa ma waena o ka makahiki 200 a me ka ʻaha kūkā o Chalcedon (451) he manawa ulu no ka Coptic Orthodox Church. Iloko nae o ka hoomaau ana o Roma i na Karistiano, ua ulu ka ekalesia. Ua koʻikoʻi loa ka hoʻomaʻau ʻana i ka wā e noho aliʻi ana ka mōʻī ʻo Diocletian (284-311). ʻOi aku paha ka nui o ka hoʻomaʻau Karistiano ma ʻAigupita ma mua o nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe ma muli o ka nui o ka lehulehu Kristiano ma ʻAigupita. Ua ʻike ka Ekalesia i kekahi mau haipule mai ia mau lā e like me Menas a me Dimyana. ʻO ka hoʻomāinoino i hana i ka manaʻo hohonu i ka halepule a ua hoʻoholo ka Coptic Orthodox Church e hoʻomaka i kona au i ka makahiki 284. No laila ʻo ka makahiki AD 2000 no nā Copts, ka makahiki 1717 AM (anno martyrum).

ʻO ka mea hoʻohenehene, ʻaʻole kūkulu hou nā halepule kahiko loa o ka honua a me nā hale pule o ʻAigupita mai ka makahiki ʻehā i ko lākou hale ma kēia pūnaewele - inā ʻaʻole no nā pilina. I kēia lā, ʻo kekahi o nā pilikia i hāpai pinepine ʻia ʻo ia ka paʻakikī o ke kūkulu ʻana i nā hale pule ma Fayoum. Ua hōʻike ʻo Makua Dr. Rufaʻil Samy o ke kauhale o Tamiya ma Fayoum i nā hana kūkulu hale nui ma kona kauhale, e hoʻololi ana i kahi halepule kauhale i kūkulu ʻia ma 1902 i hale pule nui. ʻO ka halepule kahiko he 14 me 16 mika, ʻo ka halepule hou he 29 me 34 mika. He 12 mika ke kiekie o ka halepule kahiko. He 36 mika ke kiʻekiʻe o ka hale pule hou. ʻO nā hana hale i kūpono i ke kānāwai no ke kauoha a ka pelekikena o 1994 i loaʻa i loko o nā mahina wale nō. ʻAʻohe mea kūʻē i ka hale mai ka poʻe Muslim. Ua hōʻike ke kahuna i kahi mea huna: ke kūkulu ʻana i nā pilina maikaʻi me ka lehulehu Muslim a me nā mana.

Aia nā kauhale a me nā kūlanakauhale kahi i pilikia ai ka poʻe Karistiano i ke kūkulu ʻana, ka hoʻoponopono hou ʻana a i ʻole ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā hale pule akā aia mākou i nā kauhale kahi i loaʻa ʻole ai nā pilikia.

Ma Fayoum, kūkulu ʻia nā hale pule hou, me ke kōkua o nā pilina pili, a ʻaʻole hiki i nā mummies hou ke kau i ke kauhale ma ka palapala ʻāina mākaʻikaʻi o ʻAigupita. Eia naʻe, kakaikahi ka poʻe malihini i luhi i nā huakaʻi kuʻuna e makemake paha e ʻike i kahi mea ʻokoʻa ma kahi ʻāina kamaʻāina ʻole.
