Uthixo ongaziwayo ochazwe kwimibhalo ekroliweyo yesixeko samandulo sasePalmyra, esikwiSiriya yanamhlanje, uye wadida izazinzulu kangangexesha elide. Kodwa ngoku umphandi uthi uliqhekezile ityala, iingxelo zeSayensi ephilayo. IPalmyra ibikho kangangamawaka eminyaka, yaye esi sixeko sakhula malunga neminyaka engama-2,000 2000 eyadlulayo njengesazulu sorhwebo esasidibanisa uBukhosi baseRoma neendlela zorhwebo zaseAsiya, njengeSilk Road. Uthixo ongenagama ukhankanywa ngokuphindaphindiweyo kwimibhalo emininzi yesiAramiki ePalmyra. Uninzi lwale mibhalo lumalunga nama-XNUMX eminyaka ubudala. Lo thixo ongaziwayo uye wabizwa ngokuba “Lowo Igama Lakhe Libongwe Ngonaphakade,” “INkosi Yendalo Iphela,” nangokuthi “Unenceba,” ngokutsho kwephephancwadi lenzululwazi iScience in Poland. U-Alexandra Kubiak-Schneider, umphandi kwiYunivesithi yaseWroclaw ePoland, uthelekisa imibhalo yasePalmyra kunye nemibhalo efunyenwe kwezinye izixeko zaseMesopotamiya ukusuka kwinkulungwane yokuqala ye-BC. Wafumanisa ukuba izithixo ezazinqulwa eMesopotamiya zazibizwa ngendlela efanayo nothixo wasePalmyra ongachazwanga ngagama. Ngokomzekelo, uBel-Marduk - uthixo ophakamileyo waseBhabhiloni - wayekwabizwa ngokuba "nguNceba". Ibinzana elithi “Nkosi Yehlabathi,” nelithi “Nkosi Yendalo Iphela,” maxa wambi lidla ngokusetyenziswa xa kubhekiswa kuBhahali-Shamin, uthixo wezulu. UKubiak-Schneider ucebisa ukuba isithixo esingaziwayo esikhankanywe kwimibhalo yasePalmyra asingothixo omnye, kodwa siliqela, kuquka uBel-Marduk noBhaal-Shamin. Ukwathi abantu abazange bawakhankanye amagama ezithixo njengophawu lokuzihlonela.
Kwakhona, xa abantu bebhala imibhalo efuna ukungenelela kukaThixo, babengasoloko bethetha ngothixo othile, kunoko bethetha nawuphi na uthixo owayeyiva imithandazo yabo. UKubiak-Schneider uthi: “Kwakungekho thixo ungenagama, nawuphi na uthixo owayephulaphula imithandazo aze abonakalise inkoliseko kumntu oguqukela kuye wayefanele adunyiswe ngonaphakade.
Abahleli beSayensi ePhila bafikelele kwizazinzulu ebezingabandakanyekanga kuphononongo ukuze bafumane umbono wabo. Abaphandi abaphendulayo babelumkile malunga nale ngcinga. "U-Kubiak-Schneider ubonise ingcamango yakhe kwinzululwazi, eya kuxoxa ngayo, kwaye isazinzulu ngasinye siya kuthatha isigqibo sokuyamkela okanye ukugatya, siveze iimpikiswano kule meko yokugqibela," utshilo uLeonardo Gregorati, i-archaeologist kunye nombhali wezifundo ngembali. Palmyra. Omnye umphandi, owayenqwenela ukuhlala engaziwa, wavuma ukuba isithixo esingachazwanga gama mhlawumbi yayizizithixo ezininzi, kodwa wavakalisa inkxalabo yokuba ezinye zemibhalo yaseBhabhiloni ecatshulwe nguKubiak-Schneider njengeengxoxo zangaphambi kwemibhalo yasePalmyra ngeenkulungwane.
