Impucuko yesine. Izilumko amadoda. Ukunyuka nokuwa kwemijikelezo. Ukunyuka komjikelo wamva nje.

Emva koko yaqala i-Impucuko yesi-4 kwimijikelo ephindaphindwayo yoPhuculo lweSine, kumhlaba womntu. Eyokugqibela yaqala ukutyhileka kwiminyaka eyadlulayo kwaye yahluma ngokuthe chu kumhlaba owakhiwe ngokutsha, kwaye ayikafiki kubude bawo.

Abanye babahlali behlabathi bangaphambi kokuba basinde kwisithambisi kwaye babhadula, bahamba ngesikhephe okanye bathuthuzela kwiintaba ezinomphezulu ongaphezulu kwamanzi. Abagxeki abatsha baphuma kumagumbi omhlaba oxineneyo. Ukungabikho kokuzonwabisa, ukufihlakala kunye nobunzima bomhlaba ongafezekanga zahlula izizwe kwaye zanyanzela abasindileyo ukuba baqhubeke nolunya. Babephila kwaye benjengezilwanyana. Ukutya, ukusasaza nokusindisa ubomi babo kwathatha konke ixesha kunye nomzamo. Babengenamililo, bengenamakhaya. Kwakukho isaqhwithi eyoyikisayo neenyikima zomhlaba. Babasasazekile kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zomhlaba kwaye kwakungekho nxibelelwano phakathi kwamaqela e-savage. Abanye babenoxolo ngakumbi kunabanye, kodwa akukho namnye owayenolungelelwano ekuhlaleni.

Kwavela ke phakathi kwala maqela abantu ababezabalaza beluhlobo olubalaseleyo kunabo. Zazivela ngaphakathi komhlaba kwaye zaziphezu ingqiqo, kangangokuba abo basindisayo babona ukuba akunamsebenzi ukulwa nabo. Amadoda la afundise ukoyisa ngomlilo kunye nendlela yokwenza izixhobo ezingalunganga, kwaye aseka ucwangco lwentlalo lwangaphambili. Banika abanye iinkozo, bababonisa indlela yokulima, babafundisa ukwakha izindlu. Aba bantu balumkileyo baba ziinkokheli zamaqela ohlukeneyo. Kancinci bafundisa abantu ukukhulisa izilwanyana ezithile, ukuluka, uku umsebenzi kwisinyithi kunye nokwakha ngamatye. Emva kweenzame ezininzi kunye nokusilela, ukungenelela kobudala bokufika kunye nokuzanyazanyiswa komhlaba, okwenziwa ngenxa ye iingcinga kunye nezenzo ezimbi zabantu, impucuko encinci yavela kwakhona.

Ngexesha lempucuko ezincinci abantu babeneedolophu ezinkulu ezazingamaziko enkcubeko enkulu. Babenezakhiwo zomthi, zamatye kunye nezesinyithi. Iintsimbi zazinjalo ukukhanya kodwa ngamandla amakhulu kwaye babezanywa ukuba nzima okanye bathambile, ukuqhuba ubushushu okanye ukumelana nayo. Uhlobo lwentsimbi ebomvu evelise ubushushu. Izakhiwo zazikwimilo yezikwere, isangqa kunye noxantathu. Ezinye izindlu zokuhlala ezazibiyelwe ziintendelezo kunye neegadi, apho bekukho amaqela aneentyatyambo, ezinye zeehagu ezintle, ezinye ezimdaka, amanye amagqabi anemibala. Ezinye zeentyatyambo ezinombala ocacileyo zazingama-filmy kwaye ukukhanya bahlukane nesityalo kwaye bagqobhoza emoyeni kangangeentsuku, besusa ivumba labo ngaphandle. Abantu babesebenzisa iinkuni ezazinyame njengamatye. Banokwenza amatye anento yokwenza namatye endalo kwaye bawadibanise ngokudibeneyo ukuze kungabikho mthungo ufumanekayo. Banokukhulisa amakristali kwaye bavelise amatye anqabileyo ngobushushu, kusetyenziswa isinyithi ethi, xa ibunjiwe ngesimo, emva koko ingachaphazeleki bubushushu kwaye inokuncitshiswa kuphela sisandi. Kwiigadi zabo yayingamanzi ayekhupha amanzi anamafutha aqholiweyo nacocekileyo, ayeqaqamba kwilanga. Iintaka zirhuqiwe, kunye neentsiba ze-tracery eziethe-ethe zibhabha kwiiyadi ezininzi malunga nazo.

Babeneendawo ezihamba ngaphantsi komhlaba apho babefudukela kwiindawo ezikude zomhlaba bengaphelanga usuku; kuba kwezi ndinyana basebenzise okwangoku okuhamba kunye nabo ukuze bangahlangani nomoya womoya. Abantu babenobuchule ekwenzeni iziqhumiso ezininzi ezivela emhlabeni nakwizityalo. Babesebenzisa ivumba layo njengesiqhumiso ukutya kunye nokuvelisa iimvakalelo. Ukutshisa isiqhumiso yayiyindlela nayo izinto zokuqala ingeza. Amafu esiqhumiso yayingumxholo apho izinto zokuqala kuqala bafumana imizimba yabo.

Abanye babantu banxibelelana ngomlilo, umoya, amanzi nomhlaba izinto zokuqala I-causal, i-portal, imo kunye namaqela ezakhiwo. Udidi ngalunye lwezinto ezinobungakanani bazo lwalungumbala owahlukileyo, ubungakanani kunye nembonakalo. Abanye babekwimizimba esisigxina, abanye bekwimizimba etshintshe imilo, yavela yanyamalala. Abanye babo basabela iingcinga, abanye kumagama okanye imiqondiso. Abanye bathobela imifanekiso ekwakufuneka itsaliwe ukuba ibakhokele. I izinto zokuqala khange ndicinge, kodwa bayenza yonke inkonzo efunekayo kubo. Ke abantu abanoncedo lokuqala lwezilwanyana ezikhokelayo, balima umhlaba, bavuna ezo zivuno, baqhuba iimoto emhlabeni, ngokuhamba nangaphantsi kwamanzi, emoyeni, kwiindlela zangaphantsi komjelo, kwaye basebenza oomatshini abalula ababesebenzisa ubugcisa kunye amashishini. Uninzi lwe izinto zokuqala ke bona abantu babeqeshiwe imo kwaye ayinakuhlulwa ebantwini. In nyaniso, abantu bafunda ku izinto zokuqala ekusebenzeni kunye nobugcisa kwaye ke babekwazi ukuluka amalaphu abo ngokungathi indalo yena ngokwakhe ubakhulisile. Bafunda ke iintshukumo zika indalo xa kusenziwa iimveliso zakhe kwaye wayenokwenza imisebenzi yamatye, isinyithi kunye neenkuni. Elemental Iikwayara kunye neemvumi zivelise umculo ogqibeleleyo, ilizwi kunye nezixhobo, iingoma kunye neesymphony, engenakwenzeka ebantwini nakwizixhobo zabo. Rhoqo ezi izinto zokuqala zenziwe ukuba zikhumbule imbali yomhlaba nezobuhlanga ezazidlulile.

Yonke le nto yenziwa phantsi kolwaluko lwamadoda azizilumko, ebengabalawuli kwaye ebayalele abantu kulawulo nasekusetyenzisweni kwe izinto zokuqala. Kule nto iphindwe kabini Injongo yakhonzwa. I izinto zokuqala Ngaba kukunxulumana nabantu bachukunyiswe kukuboniswa kwe ukukhanya ye Ubukrelekrele kunye zabo kungakhathaliseki yaphuculwa. I abantu ufunde ku indalo iinkqubo zomsebenzi wakhe.

Ezinye ze isiseko Abantu ke babizelwe kwinkonzo kwaye abanye bangena indalo abakhululekileyo, ababenobuhle ngokugqithisileyo nangokuthandekayo. Ngokudibana nabo abantu ifumene ufefe kunye nokuphuhlisa ubuhle indalo. Koko bongeza ukuqaqamba kwengqondo yabo abenzi apho izinto zokuqala swele. Abantu babeyalelwe ngabaLumko boMenzi malunga nomenzi wayo kunye nawo imisebenzi kwi Self Triunemalunga indalo ye izinto zokuqala Kula maqela mane, ukuba basebenze njani kunye nendlela yokulawula, malunga nendlela yokufumana uncedo kunye nokubanceda Izinto kwaye i Izithixo ye Izinto.

Abona baphambili ebantwini bafundiswe malunga indalo ye isini; indlela yokugcina nokuhambisa la magunya kulondolozo lwempilo, ulwandiso lwe ubomi kunye nokucocwa komzimba wenyama ezizukulwaneni ezizayo. Bafundiswa nembali yexesha elidlulileyo kwaye balumkiswa ngokuchasene nokulawulwa ngu izinto zokuqala, njengoko oku bekuya kubazisela phantsi.

Kwizizukulwana ezalandelayo, abantu ixutywe ne izinto zokuqala, amadoda nabafazi bamanyene nezinto ezintle kodwa ezingenangqondo ze indalo kwaye umba wawudla ngokungabikho kuhlala ngaphakathi umenzi. Ngenxa ye kukhulula zonxibelelwano, ezizizo Izithixo wavela wafuna ukuba kuqubulwe kuye abantu, ke abantu baba indalo abanquli. Izithethe kunye nemibhiyozo ngokuthe ngcembe zaphuhliswa zaba ziinkqubo zonqulo. Esi yayisisiqalo sika zonqulo. Abantu bakhokelwa ngokulula kunqulo lwezi Izithixo ngenxa yobuhle phakathi kwabo bantu.

Ne zonqulo ichumile ngenxa yonqulo lweendawo ezinomlilo, umoya, amanzi nomhlaba. Unqulo ngalunye lwalunamahlelo amaninzi, lunqula zonke iintlobo Izithixo, ukusuka ekuhlanjululweni ukuya kwisambuku iintlobo. The Izithixo ibonakalisiwe ngomlilo ophilayo otshise ngaphandle kokutsha, kwizandi, kwimisinga nasezimbizeni, kwiindawo ezingcwele, nangamatye. Ezi Izithixo bebengaphakathi iifomu, ngaphandle kwempazamo lento Ababonise ngazo.

indalo Unqulo lwalugxile ku isini. Amandla amabini, avuthayo, okudala nawokutshabalalisa afihlwe kwisini ayenqweneleka, njengako konke indalo kuxhomekeke kuloo nto kwaye unokuyifumana kuphela abenzi ngelixa zikwimizimba yabantu phantsi kwe ukukhanya of Ubukrelekrele. Olu nqulo lwalugcinwe kwindiza ephezulu, kodwa lwaluchasene no inkqubela phambili yomenzi. Ekuqaleni, kuthatha ixesha elide ngokwesondo kunye nokuzinikezela kumanyano olungcwele, ngokuzinikezela komenzi wokunqula unkulunkulu, indoda nomfazi abangcwalisiwe.

Nangona kunjalo, emva kwe ixesha, izinto zokuqala ixutywe nabantu imvakalelo. Kungekudala emva kokuziphatha kakubi ngokwesondo kwalandelwa kwaye ububi baba jikelele. Imizimba yamadoda neyabafazi yayinqulwa zizithethe zonqulo ezisetyenziswayo kwaye ezi bezitolikwa ngendlela ethandabuzekayo. Ngamanye amaxesha indoda yayinqulwa ngakumbi, ngamanye amaxesha ibhinqileyo. Izilumkiso zaBantu abalumkileyo kunye nembali yabo yangaphambili yalityalwa okanye ayakhatywa.

Ookumkani kunye noomakhonya bavela neenkundla zabo zokunethezeka namandla. Thixo waba nekhwele ngenxa yokunqulwa okuhlawulwe kwamanye Izithixo, njengakwimihla yangoku, kwaye kwabangela iimfazwe. Abalawuli aboyisiweyo kunye nabantu babo benziwa ukuba banqule uthixo woloyisayo, okanye babhangisiwe. Iimfazwe ezinjalo beziqhubeka yonke indawo. Abantu babenenkani kwaye Izithixo, ababondlayo kwaye bagcinwa bephila ngabantu, batyhafiswa. Ubunewunewu, amandla, ukunqula ngokwesini, ubuhlwempu kunye ukungazi evela kulawulo ngu Izithixo. I-Aristocracies, i-bureaucracies, i-demagogies kunye noxinzelelo kwenye imo okanye enye iphumelele enye nenye endaweni yokuhamba kwexesha. Nanini na umjikelo we cinga libalekile ikhosi yalo, kwabakho isiphithiphithi ngaphakathi indalo zatshatyalaliswa iinxalenye zomhlaba.

Kwiimfazwe ezinkulu Izithixo bathatha inxaxheba balwa nabanquli babo ngokuchasene neentshaba zabo. Amanzi Izithixo wabangela ukuba kunyuke amanzi kunye nemvula; umoya Izithixo aqhuba amanzi kunye nezivunguvungu ezisa utshaba; umlilo Izithixo zabangela ukuba iindonga zomlilo zehle zidle, namanzi Izithixo Wucime umlilo. Umhlaba Izithixo yabangela ukuba umhlaba ugqabhuke kwaye uziphanzise iintshaba zawo, okanye wenze iingqimba zomkhenkce ukuze zigubungele iinxalenye zomhlaba.

Yonke le nto yayisenziwa ziarhente zabantu. Izinto ezisisiseko ngexesha lokunxulumana ixesha elide kunye abantu wayebafundisile ukusebenzisa kunye nokukhokela isiseko amandla. Ngexesha lemfazwe ababingeleli babahlukeneyo Izithixo basebenzise ulwazi lwabo. I Izithixo usebenzise i ingqiqo yamadoda ukukhokela, i Izithixo', hlasela utshaba, isiseko nomntu. Iimfazwe zazilwa kwaye isiseko amagunya asetyenziswa emoyeni nasemhlabeni. Zombini amacala aphosa iibhloko zomlilo, ukuqhuma amatye, kunye nokuyalela amanzi anukayo kunye nokukhipha kunye neziglasi ezibulalayo; ngezandi ezithile zanyibilikisa iinzwa kwaye zatyhoboza amathambo. Ngokwalathisa imijikelezo ethile nxamnye nemizimba yeentshaba zabo, ezi zatsha umlilo. Ngokuphelisa imijikelezo yomoya babenza babachasile abo babachasayo. Benza umlo owoyikayo wokubukeka- kunye neemilo zesigcawu, iimpethu ezinkulu kunye namalulwane, ezibonakala ngathi zichaphazela abenzi lotshaba, xa ngaphakathi inyaniso bancancisa ijusi yemizimba yabo kwaye babashiya beyekile kodwa qaphela. Le mikhosi yayilawulwa ziinjengele zababingeleli ezithi, kwiiholo zazo ezifihlakeleyo, zikhululwe ngokwesini, emva koko zikhokelwe zizandi nezixhobo ezilula. Ababingeleli, nge nge-astral umbono kwaye ukuva, babona ke beva into eyayisenziwa ngabaphathi babo kwiindawo ezikude. Zonke zazinezinzuzo ezifanayo, kodwa ngobuchule zinokususa umbono okanye ukuva Abachasayo okanye bazise into elungileyo ukukhohlisa kwaye inokuwohlula into ngenqaku.

Njengoko imijikelezo yayiqhuba iikhosi zazo kwabakho ukunyuka okuninzi kunye nokuwa kwezizwe kunye namazwekazi. Ugqatso olungenakubalwa sele kuthathe inxaxheba kule mpucuko yesine. Kwakukho iindidi ezibomvu nezimdaka eziluhlaza kunye nohlaza kunye noyheli, ezazivela ngokwahluka iintlobo abagciniwe kuPhuculo lweSithathu.

Zonke zinesiqalo esirhabaxa, zonke ziqala ngoncedo lwaBalumkileyo abavela kumhlaba ongaphakathi, bonke bafumana uncedo kunye nomyalelo ngaphakathi nangaphandle ubomi, onke ayenexesha lokuqala kwamandla, onke ayephathisiwe xanduva kwaye imisebenzi-Aye uninzi lwawo lusilele. Kuzo zonke zivela ixesha ukuba ixesha Izilumko, eziye zakhumbuza ezazo imisebenzi kwaye ngamanye amaxesha kubangele ukuvuseleleka kwempucuko. Kodwa uninzi lwe abenzi kuzo zonke izinhlanga uye akaphumelela ukwenza inkqubela phambili.

Umjikelo obalulekileyo waphela ngokuntywila kwilizwekazi elibizwa ngabathile kwiAtlantis. Eli lizwekazi, ngomnye wabaninzi abakhe bavela kwesi Sine sempucuko, besiqale iminyaka engachazwanga kwaye, ngokweengxelo zangoku, ukugqibela kokutshona kwawo kwenzeka ukusuka kumashumi amabini ukuya kwishumi lamawaka eminyaka eyadlulayo kwaye kukhankanywa nguPlato kwi-Timaeus yakhe.

Izithsaba zempucuko eTshayina, eIndiya nakwindawo ezingqonge iMeditera ziye zaphuma. Ke iYurophu yahamba ngobusuku kunye nokuvuka. Ukukholelwa kumaza amatsha kwimpucuko yesine kukude nokuba kungafikelelwa. Kukuba kwilizwekazi laseMelika; yaqala ngokusekwa kweVenkile yeVirginia nePlymouth, ngaphandle kokuziphatha kwabahlali bokuqala.

Ngexesha lokunyuka kunye nokuwa kwempucuko encinci kuye kwakho ezininzi zonqulo, phantse zonke zasungulwa yi Izithixo ye Izinto bencediswa ngabafundisi bezakwalizwi okanye ngabefundisi. Ezi Izithixo umnqweno ukunqulwa ngumntu abenzi, ngenxa yokuba bafumana ezinye ze ukukhanya ngu- emoyeni ye abenzi. The ukukhanya iku- cinga. Xa cinga ibhekiswe kwi Izithixo ekunquleni, Izithixo phila ngayo. Xa cinga okanye unqulo luyaliwe, Izithixo yiba nomsindo, ubangele iimfazwe kwaye ufe ngenxa yokungafumani sondlo. Abanye Izithixo ukufumana ukutya kwabo cinga ngokuthe ngqo, abanye bafuna amaculo, indumiso, isiqhumiso, igazi, imibingelelo okanye amasiko ezesondo. Ukunqulwa kwelanga kunye neenkwenkwezi, ukunqulwa kwenyoka nokunye iifomu Unqulo lwezilwanyana, ukunqulwa kwemithi kunye nokunqula ngamatye, ezinye zezi zonqulo eziye zavela zaphinda zenzeka kwakhona kwi-Impucuko yesi-XNUMX.

Abenzi abangafikeleli kwimfezeko ukuze bamanyane kunye neTruneune Selve ngexesha lempucuko ezintathu ezidlulileyo, nabangazitshabalalisiyo kwaye “balahlekile” abenzi, iqhubekile ngohlanga olwahlukeneyo kwimpucuko yesine. Baqhubekeka behla benyuka ngeendawo ezahlukeneyo behla benyuka kwaye bathatha inxaxheba kwimpucuko ngokwakwilizwe ababekhulise ngalo okanye bethoba kulo ukucinga.

Izilwanyana, izityalo, iintyatyambo kunye neeminerals zihlala zimelwe kuzo kuvela kunye nokuyilwa kwento iingcinga apho ukucinga kwezi abenzi iziphumo. Izixhobo eziphila ngesilwanyana iifomu zazinjalo iinxalenye ze abenzi njengoko kungenakuqhubeka emva ukufa ithi. Ngamaxesha athile izibakala malunga nezilwanyana zazisiwe kwezinye abenzi kodwa belahleka nangaliphi na ixesha bengazukufumana ngolwazi. I iintlobo Kwizilwanyana zibonisa ubukrakra, ukunyoluka okanye ukuthamba ka iingcinga ebekhutshelwe ngaphandle kwesilwanyana iifomu.
