ʻO ke gula mai ʻApelika - ka mōʻaukala, ke kumu, nā mea hoihoi

Ua loaʻa nā mea gula kahiko loa ma ʻApelika, mai ka XNUMXth millennium BC. Ua kapa ʻia ʻo Nubia kahi hapa o Ancient Egypt, ʻo ia hoʻi, ka ʻāina gula (ʻo ia ka huaʻōlelo gula). Ua ʻeli ʻia lākou mai ke one a me ka ʻiliʻili ma uka o ka Nile.

Ua piʻi ka Jewellery i kahi kiʻekiʻe ma kahi o 3000 BC. aole ma Aigupita wale no, ma Mesopotamia kekahi. ʻOiai ʻo ʻAigupita kāna mau waihona gula waiwai ponoʻī, pono ʻo Mesopotamia e lawe mai i ke gula.

I ka wā ma mua, ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ka ʻāina kaʻao o ʻOpira, kaulana no kāna mau mālama gula nui, kahi i lawe mai ai ka poʻe Phoenicians a me ke aliʻi Iudaio ʻo Solomona (1866 BC) i ke gula, aia ma India. ʻO ka loaʻa, akā naʻe, i ka XNUMX o nā mines kahiko ma ka hema o Zimbabwe e hōʻike ana aia ʻo Ophir ma Central Africa ma hope o nā mea a pau.

ʻO Mansa Musa ke kanaka waiwai loa o nā manawa a pau?

ʻAʻole hiki ke mālama ʻia ʻo Mansa Musa, ke aliʻi o ke aupuni Mali. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka waiwai o ka Emepera ma ka hana ʻana i ke gula a me ka paʻakai, a ʻo Mansa Musa i kēia lā i manaʻo ʻia ʻo ke kanaka waiwai loa o nā manawa āpau - ʻo kāna waiwai i kēia lā e ʻoi aku ma mua o 400 biliona. Nā kālā ʻAmelika, akā i kēia manawa paha. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo ka Mōʻī Salamon wale nō ka mea i ʻoi aku ka waiwai, akā paʻakikī kēia e hōʻoia.

Ma hope o ka hāʻule ʻana o ke aupuni Mali, mai ka XNUMXth a hiki i ke kenekulia XNUMX, ʻo ka mining a me ke kālepa gula no ka lāhui Akan. ʻO ka Akan nā ʻohana ʻApelika Komohana me Ghana a me ka Ivory Coast. ʻO ka hapa nui o kēia mau ʻohana, e like me Ashanti, ua hana pū kekahi i nā mea nani, ʻo ia kahi kūlana ʻenehana maikaʻi a nani. ʻO ka ʻenehana punahele a ʻApelika a ʻo ia nō ka hoʻolei kālā, ʻo ia wale nō i ka nānā mua ʻana he ʻenehana maʻalahi.
