Izigodi ezinkulu, ezinjengeTomaltepec, i-El Tule, i-Etla neXaguía zazizothumela abamele bazo emhlanganweni, owawuzobanjelwa esigodini saseMogote, lapho basebevele sebakhe khona igumbi elikhulu elenziwe ngamatshe nange-adobe, ikakhulukazi kulolu hlobo lomhlangano.
EMogote inkosi yayingenasineke kakhulu; kwakudingeka ashanele igumbi, apholishe phansi ngodaka nezindonga nge-lime entsha; Wayene-tortilla eyanele, ubhontshisi noshokoledi okwenziwe, ngoba ngandlela thile umhlangano wawufana nephathi; amakhomishani aqhamuka kwezinye izigodi ayeza ukuzogubha umcimbi obalulekile owawuzoshintsha imiphakathi yabo.
Umhlangano wothishanhloko ubumenyezelwe ngeminenke, izigubhu namashawuli; manje kwase kuyisikhathi sokubamukela, bona kanye nezinqwaba zabo.
Ekugcineni base befika, bonke bephethe iminikelo futhi becela konkulunkulu babo imvume yokunyathela izwe langaphandle. Ngamunye ngamunye banikeze umnikelo wabo olula eNkosini yaseMogote: ama-mole casseroles, ama-tortilla, ukhokho, izingubo zokulala kanye namakhophi, ukuqala umhlangano ngokwamukela okuhle.
Sekuvele kufakiwe endlini enkulu, amadoda amadala akhuluma:
“Isikhathi sokuhlanganisa izigodi zethu zibe munye, akumele sihlale sihlukene ngoba sinqotshwa kalula yizitha eziseduze; Kumele sithole indawo emaphakathi ukusuka lapho ukuhlanganisa amandla namandla ethu, Ukuphela kwale nkulungwane yeminyaka kusondele futhi izincwadi zithi kufanele sishintshe ukuze siqale inkathi entsha, egcwele amandla namandla, futhi akukho okubonisa ngokusobala ukuthi kuphi kufanele uhlanganise izindawo ezintsha ”.
Omunye uthe: “Nina baphathi, enisebasha manje, nizizwa sengathi asikho isizathu sokujaha, kodwa ikusasa lethu; uma kukhona inyunyana kukhona amandla, kukhona amandla. Kepha akuwona amandla okucabanga, kufanele usebenze kakhulu, futhi ukuze ukufeze, sonke masenze umzamo wokuzuza leyo nyunyana. Onkulunkulu sebekhulumile, abaqambi amanga futhi niyakwazi; Emizaneni yethu sazi konke, ukwakha, ukuzingela, ukuhlwanyela; singabathengisi abahle futhi sikhuluma ulimi olufanayo. Kungani kufanele sihlukane? Onkulunkulu sebeshilo, kufanele sihlanganise amadolobhana uma sifuna ukuba bakhulu.
Induna yabuza: “Singayenza kanjani le nyunyana badala abadala? Abantu bethu bazosihlonipha kanjani? Ngubani ozofuna ukuba ngaphansi esigodini esivamile? ”.
Omdala waphendula: “Sengibonile empilweni yami abantu abaningi abanjengabakithi nemindeni eminingi efana neyethu; onke alungile, makhulu futhi ahloniphekile, kodwa awanawo inhliziyo. yilokho okufanele sikwenze, inhliziyo enkulu yabantu bethu, inhliziyo yezimpilo zethu, yezingane zethu neyonkulunkulu bethu. Onkulunkulu bethu nonkulunkulukazi bafanele indawo yabo, lapho, eduze kwezulu, kanye namadolobha nabantu, abaphoqi ukuthi kubiza malini ukukwenza, ngoba sinezandla zethu, amandla ethu nolwazi. Sizokwenza inhliziyo yabantu bethu ibe nkulu! Inhlonipho izotholakala kuleyo mpumelelo enkulu ”.
Ngokuvunywa kwababekhona, umfelandawonye omkhulu phakathi kwazo zonke izigodi zaseSigodini sase-Oaxaca kwase kuvunyelwene ngawo ukufeza inhloso efanayo: ukwenza inhlokodolobha yezwe laseZapotec.
Bese baqala umsebenzi wokufuna indawo engcono kakhulu bayithola ebangeni lezintaba elakha entshonalanga yesiGodi, lapho kungenzeka ukuthi abantu bakwamanye amadolobha babefuna ukuhlasela, eCerro del Tigre.
Emadolobhaneni, wonke umuntu wayefana, babesebenza, betshala futhi behlala ndawonye, ngaphandle kwenkosi, wayephethe ukuvakasha nokubonga onkulunkulu, ngakho-ke othishanhloko ngokwabo bahlela abaklami babo abahle kakhulu ukuhlela idolobha elizoba inhliziyo yomhlaba waseZapotec. .
Lo mcimbi wenzeka eminyakeni engama-2 500 edlule. Onke amadolobhana Esigodi, amakhulu namancane, abebandakanyeka ebhizinisini lokwakha inhlokodolobha yabo. Lokhu kwavela kwaba idolobha elikhulu, elinezikhala ezinkulu zokwakha ngokuzayo, njengoba amaZapotec ayazi ukuthi abantu bawo bazohlala amakhulu eminyaka, babe ngumjaho obizelwe ukudlula izizukulwane ezizayo.
Umphumela walokhu kuhlangana kwezigodi ezibalulekile kwaba yi-Oani Báa (Monte Albán), idolobha elikhulu laseZapotec, lapho yonke imiphakathi yayibona njengenhliziyo yomhlaba, labelana ngalo nabafowabo bezinhlanga eSigodini sase-Oaxaca.
Ngokushesha nje lapho beqokwa, abaphathi abasha bedolobha bathathe isinqumo sokuqhuba imikhankaso efana nempi yokuqinisekisa ukuthi abanye abantu bayabambisana nomsebenzi omkhulu wokwakha futhi bahlinzeka abasebenzi, izinto zokwakha, ukudla futhi, ngaphezu kwakho konke, amanzi afana into eziswa kakhulu. Ukuyithola, kwakudingeka ukuyiletha ilayishwe ezitsheni nasemabhodweni emfuleni i-Atoyac; Ngalesi sizathu, ngesikhathi kwakhiwa, kwabonwa izintambo ezinde zabantu zikhuphula amanzi zenyusa izintaba eziholela eMonte Albán.
Kanye nokwakhiwa kwedolobha, indlela entsha yokubusa yayisiqalile, izinduna zemizi zazingaphansi kwababusi abasha, ababehlakaniphe kakhulu ngoba babengabapristi namaqhawe. Kwakumele balawule kusukela lapho kuye enanini lomuzi nasemadolobhaneni esifunda sase-Oaxaca, babemele amandla omhlaba omusha wamaZapotec.
