Ubuwazi ukuthi ku Iraq ingabe sithola isikhungo esidala senkolo? Yebo, kumayelana ne- UZiggurat wase-Uri-Nammu, i-ziggurat noma ipulatifomu enkulu enyathelwe, eyakhiwe edolobheni laseSumeriya i-Uri, ngesikhathi seBronze Age, njengoba kukhonjisiwe ngekhulu lama-21 BC. Lo mbhoshongo owakhiwa ngokuhlonipha unkulunkulu uNanna noma unkulunkulukazi wenyanga, wakhiwa yiNkosi u-Ur-Nammu, futhi kamuva wabhujiswa ngama-Elamu, waphinde wabuyiselwa yiNkosi uNebukadinesari II waseBabiloni.
Umbhoshongo wezitini odumbile kanye nowezitini osetshenzisiwe uyabonakala namuhla njengoba ubulungiswa kakhulu ngesikhathi sokubusa kukaSaddam Hussein. Kubalulekile ukuthi wazi ukuthi njengamanje kuphela ingxenye engezansi yalobu buciko obuvela empucukweni yasendulo yaseMesopotamiya, futhi itholakala ngezinyathelo ezi-3. Uzoba nentshisekelo yokwazi ukuthi lesikhumbuzo sizungezwe udonga olungamamitha ayi-8. Icebo lepiramidi lingunxande, futhi linobukhulu bamamitha angama-61 x 45,7 amamitha x amamitha ayi-15 ukuphakama.
Bambalwa abantu abeza ukuvakashela le ndawo ngenxa yesimo esikhona ezweni, noma kunjalo singakucabanga uma sinesibindi sokuya e-Iraq ngoba iZiggurat yase-Uri ithathwa njengesinye sezikhumbuzo zasendulo zomhlaba ezisemi namanje.
Ngokusho kwezazi, i-ziggurat yakhiwa entabeni ngoba abaseSumeri bakholelwa ukuthi onkulunkulu bahlala kubo.
Sawubona! Ngingathanda ukwazi ukuthi ungavakashela le ndawo manje noma uma kukhona ukudluliswa kusuka kuNasiriya kuya e-Uri. Ngiyabonga!
