Endulo, I-Egypt kwakungelinye lamazwe acebe kakhulu eMhlabeni. Ngaphezu kwezikhumbuzo ezinkulu nezakhiwo ezinkulu zethempeli, abaseGibhithe bakhombisa ingcebo yomphakathi ngobucwebe.
Ubuciko bezinto zokuhloba zasendulo zaseGibhithe beziyinkimbinkimbi ngendlela emangalisayo futhi zisadala ukwethuka phakathi kwabafundi kanye nezivakashi zemnyuziyamu ngokufanayo minyaka yonke.
Okushoyo
EGibhithe, ukutholakala kwezinsimbi eziyigugu kwakuyindaba yokuziqhenya kwezwe. EGibhithe elingenhla nelingezansi, kwakukhona igolide elincane kakhulu futhi kwakungekho electrum (ingxubevange yemvelo yegolide nesiliva), kodwa amatshe ayigugu elilinganayo ayatholakala kalula.
Ngegolide, iGibhithe yaqala ngokuhweba neNubia ngaseningizimu, kepha ekugcineni yaya empini yanqoba 'izwe legolide', njengoba iNubia yayibizwa kanjalo. AbaseGibhithe abasezingeni eliphakeme nabo bazuze ekwandisweni kwenqwaba yezinto eziyigugu zaseGibhithe.
Ngakho-ke, ubucwebe bathatha izinhlobo ezahlukahlukene futhi basebenza imisebenzi ehlukahlukene, kusuka esikrinini sesimo ukuvikela ulaka lwemimoya emibi noma ulaka lonkulunkulu. Ubucwebe bebubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi hhayi oFaro baseGibhithe kuphela, kepha bonke babengcwatshwa nohlobo oluthile lobucwebe - noma ngabe kwakungokwethusi nengilazi kuphela.
Izinhlobo
Njengasemphakathini wanamuhla, abaseGibhithe lasendulo babumba ubucwebe obuningi, kufaka phakathi amasongo, amacici, imigexo, ama-anklets namasongo. Ngaphezu kwakho konke, lezi zinto zisetshenziselwa ukukhombisa ingcebo nesikhundla salowo okugqokile, lapho ucezu luyinkimbinkimbi ngokwengeziwe, ogqokile wayecebe kakhulu.
Abathengisi bezinto zobucwebe baseGibhithe baba izingcweti ezinamakhono ngeso lemininingwane enhle. Isibonelo, isongo legolide eMnyuziyamu waseBrithani (bheka Izinsiza ezingezansi) lakhiwa ngamabhande amabili egolide elishayiwe elixhunywe nezintelezi zesiliva nezegolide ezinemininingwane eminingi ezimele izilwane, izinsika kanye nezikhonkwane. EMnyuziyamu waseGibhithe, amasongo kaRamses II akhombisa amakhanda amabili amahansi noma ama-swans anezisu ze-lapis lazuli.
Umsebenzi
Ngaphezu kokumisa isikhundla somuntu obonwayo, ubucwebe futhi budlale izindima zomlingo noma ezingaphezu kwamandla emvelo. Isongo elichazwe ngenhla licatshangelwa yizazi ukuvikela ububi, ukuvikela ukuzala, ukuvikela izifo, ukuvuselela impilo, nokucela izibusiso zikaHorus, uHathor nabanye onkulunkulu nonkulunkulukazi.
Isici esivamile ebucwebe baseGibhithe futhi sasiyi-scarab, eyayingumvikeli wezimfihlo kanye nophawu lokuzalwa kabusha (ngoba i-scarab kwakukholakala ukuthi icindezela ilanga liye esibhakabhakeni njalo ekuseni). Olunye uphawu olujwayelekile kwakungu-ankh, "ukhiye wempilo", obizwa ngokuthi uvikela impilo yomsebenzisi futhi uzogcina ebubini nasebumnyameni.
