Te Cursus

Ko Stonehenge Cursus he kōhatu oneone tawhito ngaro e tata ana ki Stonehenge i Wiltshire, Ingarangi.

I hangaia te Stonehenge Cursus i te tau 3,400 BC pea, e kiia ana ko tētahi o ngā whakamaharatanga tawhito rawa atu o te ao.

Ahakoa tōna tawhito, he mea ngaro tonu te kaupapa me te mahi a te Cursus.

Ka tūhuratia e tēnei tuhinga te hītori o te Cursus, tōna whaipara tangata, me tana kaupapa, ā, ka matapakihia hoki ngā pānga o te Cursus ki tō tātou māramatanga ki te ao tawhito.

Te Tauwāhi o te Ara o Stonehenge

Ko te Stonehenge Cursus, e mōhiotia whānuitia ana ko te Greater Cursus, he huinga roa o ngā pareparenga me ngā awaawa e rere ana mō te 1 3/4 maero ki te rawhiti-uru.

Kei te rohe kotahi anō hoki e tū ana ko Stonehenge.

Kei waenganui i te 100 me te 150 m te tawhiti i waenga i ngā pareparenga me ngā awaawa, ko te awaawa kei waho o aua pareparenga.

Ko te teitei katoa o te awaawa me te pareparenga ngātahi he tata ki te 1.5 m.

I te pito hauauru o Cursus, he teitei ake te awaawa, ā, i te pito rawhiti, he pari roa.

Kei te taha raki mā uru o Stonehenge Cursus te Lesser Cursus, e torutoru rau iāri te tawhiti.

Te hura i te tikanga o te ingoa "Cursus"

I whakamahia tuatahitia te kupu Latina 'Cursus' e William Stukeley, he tohunga taonga tuku iho nō Ingarangi, i ngā tau tōmua o te rautau 1700 hei tohu mō tētahi ara reihi hoiho, mō tētahi papa tākaro hōiho rānei.

Ko Stukeley te tuatahi ki te tautuhi me te whakaahua i tēnei hanganga, ā, i whai ia ki te whakamārama i tōna tikanga me tōna kaupapa.

I mua atu, i haere a Stukeley i tētahi Haerenga Nui o Ūropi. I kite ia i te Circus Maximus i Rōma, ā, i whakaaro ia i whakamahia a Cursus mō te reihi hariata.

He whakaaro arorau tēnei, i runga i tōna āhua me ōna rahi.

Heoi, me mōhio anō i noho ngā Rōmana ki Peretānia i te 2,000 tau ki muri, ko te Cursus ia i hangaia i te 3,500 tau i mua i tō rātou taenga mai.

Kua whakapae ētahi he taunga whenua pea a Cursus mō ngā manene, engari e whakaponohia ana ko tōna whakamahinga tika he tikanga whakanui, he kawa rānei.

He kupu tēnei e whakamahia ana e ngā kaimātai whaipara tangata hei tohu i tētahi hanganga, i tētahi mea rānei kāore e taea te whakatau i tōna kaupapa.

Te Haerenga ki Stonehenge Cursus

Kei runga te Cursus i te whenua e wātea ana ki te iwi whānui nō te National Trust.

He uaua te mātakitaki i te whakamaharatanga tawhito mai i te whenua, engari ko te mea pai ko te mātakitaki mai i te rangi.

Ahakoa kei raro i te mana o te ope taua te nuinga o te wāhi hau, ka taea tonu te uru atu.

Ina tirohia a Stonehenge, kei te raki mā uru te Cursus, ā, e kitea ana hei huinga o ngā puranga urupā e anga mai ana i te maui ki te matau.

Hei tae atu ki te Cursus, me hikoi atu i tua atu i ngā pari, ā, i roto i te 100 iāri pea.
