Xa iUnited States ichongwa njengobukhosi, nangona bolunye uhlobo olwahlukileyo kunabanye, kuqhelekile ukukhomba isiphelo seRoma yamandulo okanye ubukhosi baseBritane, eSpain, eHolland, njl.njl., njengesilumkiso kwiPentagon okanye nkqu. kwiimodareyitha zengxoxo ze-CNN.
Kodwa umzekeliso osondeleyo kwi-United States yangoku kuneRoma yakudala, ngokubhekisele kwinto ethile, inokuba ziiVikings. I-United States ayidali iikholoni kwiindawo ezenza imfazwe okanye zinempembelelo. Iyagqogqa. Iyaphanga. Buphanga ubutyebi. Ivelisa iifowuni ezihlakaniphile. Iyaqhekeka. Iseka iindawo zokuhlala ezizimeleyo, ezinqatyisiweyo kakhulu, ezikwabizwa ngokuba ziziseko zomkhosi, izindlu zozakuzo, iindawo eziluhlaza, iindawo ezikhuselekileyo, kunye neenkampu zoqeqesho lwabavukeli. Isiya ekhaya.
Kwakhe kwenzeka ntoni kwiiVikings?
Ndingathanda ukubona uphando olwenziwe kulo mbuzo. Ndiyoyika ukuba abantu abaninzi bangaphendula bathi iiVikings zafa okanye bazixhelela okanye baxhelana. Ngokuqinisekileyo oko kuya kuba kukuziphatha okuchasene nobukhosi kwibali leViking. Ikwaya kuhambelana noluvo lokuba ubundlobongela bulawula abantu kunezinye iindlela.
Abanye basenokuphendula ngelithi iiVikings zanyamalala ngendlela engaqondakaliyo, kodwa eneneni zange zenze nto ngolo hlobo.
Uninzi lwezinto esizaziyo malunga neeVikings zivela kubantu abafundileyo kwezinye iinkcubeko abahlaselwe kwaye bahlaselwa ziiVikings. Kanye njengokuba abantu kwihlabathi liphela baxelele uGallup kuvoto lwamva nje ukuba iUnited States sesona sisongelo soxolo emhlabeni, abantu abachatshazelwa luhlaselo lweeViking bazijonga iiVikings njengamarhamncwa omkhosi. Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo oku kwavelisa ubaxo, kodwa akunakuthandabuzeka ukuba iiVikings bezisenza into namhlanje esinokuyibiza ngokuba yimfazwe endlongondlongo okanye inguqu yolawulo loluntu ekujoliswe kuyo, kuxhomekeke ekubeni ngubani osihlawulayo ukuba sibhale izenzo.
Akunakubakho mathandabuzo ukuba iiVikings azizange zife. Ukuqondwa ngoku kweDNA kubonisa ukuba ipesenti enkulu yabantu baseNorway, eDenmark naseSweden bayinzala yeeVikings, njengoko benjalo abantu abaninzi abakwezinye iindawo zaseYurophu naseBritani (kuquka ngaphezu kwesiqingatha seentsapho ezikhulileyo eLiverpool, ngokomzekelo— Viking Beatles?!).
Kaloku, ukuba abafanga, kwenzeka ntoni? Ngokuqinisekileyo, ubulumko obuqhelekileyo base-US bubambe ukuba ukuba abantu abanobundlobongela obukhohlakeleyo bathanda, bathi, abantu base-Irani babeza kuqhubeka bekhona, baya kuqhubeka nokuphehlelela zonke iimfazwe abaqhubeka bezisungula kwihlabathi liphela. Ngokuqinisekileyo, uluvo olunolwazi olungcono lubambe ukuba i-United States irhola zonke iimfazwe ezihlawulayo ngenxa yemikhwa ebuhlungu kodwa engenakuthintelwa engcwatywe kwimizila yethu yemfuza. Ngapha koko, ndiqinisekile ukuba "imfuzo yethu inokuba nobundlobongela, kodwa singenza i-Buck Off" yayikhe yasisilogeni sikaLockheed Martin, okanye inokuba yiRaytheon. Ngokuqinisekileyo, ukuba iiVikings zazingamagorha, inzala yazo imele ukuba isengamagorha.
Okucaphukisayo kukuba, izibakala azinjalo. IiVikings zaqhubeka ziphila zaza zakunciphisa kakhulu ukubulawa kwazo. UElise Boulding wabhala wathi: “Ukuguqulwa kwabantu baseNyakatho, ‘isibetho saseYurophu,’ babe ngabayili bowona mmandla useluxolweni waseYurophu, eScandinavia, nabayili bamacebo namaziko okuthabatha indawo yemfazwe libali elibangel’ umdla. Njengoko ebalisa eli bali, iiVikings ngokuthe ngcembe zafumana imvumelwano iluncedo ngakumbi kunokoyisa, kwaye uthethathethwano ngorhwebo lunengeniso ngakumbi kunokuphanga. Bayeka ukugqogqa baya kwizakhiwo zokuhlala. Bamkela ezinye zeengcamango zoxolo zobuKristu. Baqala ukulima ngakumbi kwaye bahamba kancinci.
Eminye imithombo yandisa kulo mxholo. IiVikings zazifumene inzuzo ngokukhobokisa abantu apho zazigqogqa khona. Njengoko kwakusekwe icawa yamaKristu eScandinavia, yazingisa ekukhobokiseni abantu ababengengomaKristu kuphela, nto leyo eyayonakalisa kanobom ingeniso yokuhlasela kwaseYurophu. Ugonyamelo lwamaViking (okanye olwalusakuba ngamaViking) lwaphinda lwadluliselwa kwiiMfazwe Zomnqamlezo nxamnye namaSilamsi namaYuda. Kodwa, ungaphazami, ubuninzi bobundlobongela babukwithambeka elinyukayo. Ukwahlulwa ngoxolo kweNorway neSweden ngowe-1905 kwakungumzekelo kwezinye iintlanga ezazinobunzima bokuphumeza ezo zenzo ngaphandle kweemfazwe. Ukuchasa okuhambelana neScandinavia kumkhosi kumaxesha amva nje, kubandakanya ukhetho lwaseSweden lokungazibandakanyi ngokupheleleyo ne-NATO - kunye nokukhetha kwayo ukuphuma kwiimfazwe ezimbini zehlabathi - ngumzekelo ngokunjalo.
Kodwa esona sifundo sikukuba iiVikings zayeka ukuba ziiVikings. Kwaye nathi sinako.
