Munhu wose anoziva kuti nhoroondo yekusika shangu ine makore anopfuura chiuru. Ndinoshamisika kuti madzitateguru edu ari kure akafungidzirwa sei kushambidza tsoka dzavo. Chii chaive chishangu chekutanga? Ko shangu dzakashanduka sei munguva? Yakasvika sei pakuonekwa kwemazuva ano?
Nhoroondo yekusika shangu inofadza zvikuru. Mushure mezvose, nguva dzose dzezvakaitika kare dzaiva nemafungiro akasiyana emukanaka uye nyore. Hurumende imwe neimwe, vanhu vose vane tsika dzavo uye maitiro. Saka, shangu dzakasiyana.
Zvipfeko zvekutanga zvakasikwa nemunhu chete senzira yekudzivirirwa kubva kune zvakashata zvakatipoteredza. Zvakaitika munguva dzekuchinja kwemamiriro ekunze kwenyika. Ndiani angadai akafunga kuti shangu haizongogadziri nzira yekudzivirira, asiwo chinhu chekuita. Munyori wenhau dzakaitika weAmerica Eric Trinasus weyunivhesiti yega yega Washington akasvika pakupedzisira kuti shangu dzekutanga dzakabuda muWestern Europe makore makumi maviri nemaviri akapfuura. Kuti aite izvi, sosayiti akabatsirwa kudzidza mafupa evanhu vaigara mundima iyi munguva yePaleolithic. Mutsvakurudzi akateerera kutarisa kwezvigunwe zviduku. Akacherechedza kuti munwe wakava usina simba, uye gare gare pakange pane kuchinja mune chimiro chetsoka. Izvi zviratidzo zvinoratidza kupfeka shangu. Maererano nevasayendisiti, shangu dzekutanga dzakange dzine chinhu chakafanana nemakumbo emakumbo akaitwa nemabhekwe ebheya. Mabheji aya akafukidzirwa kubva mukati neuswa hwakasviba.
MuIkare yeEgypt, shangu dzakanga dzatova chiratidzo chehuwandu hwemwene. Zvipfeko zvakabvumirwa chete kuna Farao nevakasangana naye. Zvinonakidza kuti mudzimai weharahara akanga asiri pakati pevaya vakasarudzwa, uye naizvozvo akamanikidzwa kufamba asina shangu. Mumazuva iwayo, shangu dzaiva shangu dzakaita nemashizha emichindwe kana papyrus. Kumakumbo shangu dzakadaro dzakabatanidzwa nerubatsiro rweganda rakasungwa. VaIjipita vakakosha vakashongedza mabhanhire aya nemabwe anokosha uye mifananidzo inofadza. Mutengo wehushu hwakadaro hwakanga hwakanyanya kwazvo. Muzvinyorwa zvekare wechiGiriki Herodotus mumabasa ake akataura kuti kugadzirwa kwembatya mbiri dzeharahara kwakasara nemari yakanga yakaenzana nemari yegore negore yeguta repakati. Pasinei neizvi, mumuzinda wepharao uye mutemberi dzaisabvumirwe kufamba mune shangu, naizvozvo shangu dzaisara seri kwechikumbaridzo. Zvishongo zvemazuva ano zvakaoma kufungidzira pasina chitsitsinho, icho chakaumbwa chaizvo muEgypt yekare. Kusiyana neshangu dzinokosha, shangu dzine zvitsitsinho hazvina kupfeka nemaharahara nevapristi, asi nevashoma varimi-tillers. Semaiti yakasimbisa kuwedzera kwekusimbisa, zvichibatsira varimi vachifamba-famba munyika yakasimwa yakasima.
VaAsiriya vekare vaipfeka shangu, zvimwe zvakanyanya kupfuura shangu dzevaEgipita. Sesirivha dzejecha dzakabhadharwa neshure kuti dzidzivirire chitsitsinho. Mukuwedzera, vakange vane shangu dzakakwirira mumakwara avo, izvo zvakaita sezviri kuitika mazuva ano.
VaJudha vepakutanga vaiva muhomwe vakange vane shangu dzakagadzirwa nematanda, shangu, simbi uye mvere. Kana muenzi anoremekedzwa akauya kumba, muridzi wacho aifanira kubvisa shangu dzake kuti aratidze ruremekedzo rwake. Mukuwedzera, vaJudha vane tsika inofadza. Kana mushure mekufa kwehanzvadzi yake pane chirikadzi isina mwana, mukwambo uyu aifanira kumubata. Asi mukadzi wacho aigona kusunungura murume asina kuroorwa kubva mubasa iri, achibvisa pachena kubva patsoka dzake chikafu chemhando. Mushure mekunge izvi, jaya rinogona kuroora mumwe mukadzi.
Zvipfeko zvekutanga, zvakagadzirirwa kwete kungodzivirira tsoka kubva mukukuvadzwa, asiwo kune runako, zvakaonekwa muGreece yekare. Vahedheni vekucheka shangu vaiziva kuti vangagadzira sei shangu dzemapfupa, asiwo shangu dzine musana, bhoti dzisina sock - endomas, mabhoti ane nyasha pakukanda. Idzi shangu dzakanaka dzaive zvakakosha pakati pevakadzi vechiGiriki. Asi chiitiko chinonyanya kukosha munhoroondo yezvipfeko chakanga chakagadzirwa neVaGiriki shoe pair. Kusvika ikozvino, pakanga pasina musiyano pakati pezvishongo zvekurudyi nechezasi, dzakasimbiswa pamwe chete nematende akafanana. Zvinonakidza kuti kufambiswa kwehombodo kwakapiwa kune vaGreek courtesans vekare. Izvo zvaiva kune avo vakagadzirisa shangu vainyengedza zvinyorwa pasi pezveshangu zvavo nenzira yakadai kuti pane mitsara pasi nechokunyorwa kwekuti "Nditevere."
Iyi inongova chikamu chiduku chenhoroondo yekuita shangu. Chinofadza zvikuru chiri mberi.
