Umfanekiso omtsha weMoai ufunyenwe kwiSiqithi se-Easter, isiqithi esikude sentaba-mlilo esiyindawo ekhethekileyo yaseChile, ekuqaleni kwale veki.
Imifanekiso eqingqiweyo yamatye yenziwa sisizwe sasePolynesia somthonyama ngaphezu kweminyaka engama-500 eyadlulayo. Osanda kufunyanwa wafunyanwa kwibhedi eyomileyo yechibi kwisiqithi, ngokutsho komongameli we-Ma'u Henua, uSalvador Atan Hito.Iindaba ze-ABCuqale wachaza into efunyenweyo.
I-Ma'u Henua ngumbutho weMveli owongamela ipaki yesizwe yesiqithi. Oku kufunyenweyo kwathiwa kubalulekile kuluntu lwaseRapa Nui.
Kukho malunga ne-1,000 le-Moai eyenziwe nge-volcanic tuff kwi-Easter Island. Oyena mde kubo ziinyawo ezingama-33. Ngokomyinge, zinobunzima obuphakathi kweetoni ezi-3 ukuya kwezi-5, kodwa ezona zinzima zinokufikelela kuma-80.
"I-moai ibalulekile kuba imele ngokwenene imbali yabantu baseRapa Nui," uTerry Hunt, unjingalwazi wezinto zakudala kwiYunivesithi yaseArizona, uxelele.ABC. Yayingookhokho babemi besi siqithi. Ziyimifanekiso eqingqiweyo ehlabathini lonke, yaye ngokwenene zimela ilifa elimangalisayo lenzululwazi yezinto zakudala zesi siqithi.”
Ngelixa umfanekiso oqingqiweyo osandul’ ukutyhilwa umncinane kuneminye, ukufunyanwa kwawo kubonisa eyokuqala kwibhedi eyomileyo yechibi.
Oku kwafunyanwa ngenxa yokutshintsha kwemozulu yaloo mmandla—ichibi elijikeleze lo mfanekiso uqingqiweyo lomile. Ukuba iimeko ezomileyo ziyaqhubeka, kunokwenzeka ukuba iMoai engaziwayo ngoku inokuvela.
“Zifihlwe ziingcongolo ezinde ezikhula echibini, kwaye ukujonga ngento ekwazi ukubona into engaphantsi komhlaba kunokusixelela ukuba eneneni kukho iimoai ezingakumbi kwintlenge yechibi,” utshilo uHunt. Xa kukho imoai enye echibini, kusenokwenzeka ukuba zininzi.”
Eli qela likwakhangela izixhobo ezisetyenziselwa ukukrola imifanekiso eqingqiweyo yakwaMoai nemibhalo eyahlukeneyo.
Indawo yeLifa leMveli ye-UNESCO ekhuselweyo sesona siqithi sikude ehlabathini. Imifanekiso eqingqiweyo kaMoai, ngakumbi, yeyona nto inomtsalane kubakhenkethi.
Kunyaka ophelileyo, esi siqithi sabona ugqabhuko-dubulo lwentaba-mlilo oluye lonakalise imifanekiso eqingqiweyo—isiganeko esiyingozi esabangela ukuba umhlaba ongaphezu kweekhilomitha ezingama-247 utshatyalaliswe kweso siqithi.
