ʻO Lake Titicaca kekahi o nā mea nui loa ma ʻAmelika Hema, no ka mea ʻo ia kekahi o nā nui loa e pili ana i ka ʻāpana o ka papa o ka ʻili, i ʻike ʻia ma ke ʻano he kai kiʻekiʻe hiki ke hoʻokele a ʻo ka mea nui e pili ana i nā waihona wai hou ma ka ʻāina nui. Me kēlā papa inoa o nā hiʻohiʻona, ʻaʻole ia he mea kupanaha e kipa aku nā miliona o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi iā ia i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Eia nō naʻe, hōʻike nā kiʻi i kēia he wahi kiʻi nō hoʻi ia ma ʻAmelika Hema.
No Lake Titicaca mai ka palapala honua
Aia ke kino wai hou i ka Andes ma ka palena o nā ʻāina ʻelua: Bolivia a me Peru. Penei nā kaʻina o Titicaki: 15 ° 50? umikumākahi? S, 69 ° 20? umikumaiwa? W. Hāʻawi ka poʻe he nui i ke poʻo o ka loko nui loa ma ka ʻāina nui, ʻo ia ka ʻāina ʻo 8300 sq. Km. ʻOi aku ka nui o Maracaibo, akā hāʻawi pinepine ʻia ia ma ke ʻano he mau kūʻono ma muli o ka pili o ke kai. Noho ka nui o nā ʻohana ma kahakai; no Peru ke kūlanakauhale nui loa a ua kapa ʻia ʻo Puno. Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻohe mea e pili ka ʻāina i ka wā hoʻomaha, no ka mea, hoʻonohonoho nā mākaʻikaʻi ʻelua i nā wahi a puni.
Kupanaha, ma kahi kiʻekiʻe o 3.8 km ma luna o ka ʻilikai, hiki ke hoʻokele i ka loko. Kahe mai ka muliwai Desaguadero. ʻAi ʻia ka loko iʻa alpine e ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻekolu haneli mau kahawai, i hoʻomaka ʻia i nā glaciers ma waena o nā kuahiwi a puni ka loko. Aia ka liʻiliʻi o ka paʻakai ma Titicaca e noʻonoʻo pono ʻia ai i ka wai maoli. Hoʻololi ka nui o ka wai i nā manawa like ʻole o ka makahiki, akā ʻo ka hohonu ka nui he 281 ka m.
He kūmole mōʻaukala
I loko o nā aʻo honua, ua hōʻike ʻia aia ma mua ʻo Lake Titicaca ka mea ʻē aʻe ma mua o ke kai kūʻono, a aia ma ka pae like me ke kai. I ka hoʻokumu ʻana o Andes, piʻi aʻe ke kino o ka wai i luna a kiʻekiʻe, ma muli o ke ʻano o kēia kūlana. A i kēia lā, noho nā iʻa kai, nā arthropods a me nā mollusks i loko ona, e hōʻoia ana i nā hopena o nā kālaihonua.
Ua ʻike mau nā kamaʻāina kūloko i kahi o ka loko, akā ua hōʻea kēia ʻike i ke kaiāulu o ka honua ma 1554 wale nō. A laila hōʻike ʻo Cieza de Leon i ke kiʻi mua ma ʻEulopa.
I ke kauwela o 2000, ua hoʻopaʻa nā mea like i ka lalo o ka loko, a ua hopena i kahi ʻike i manaʻo ʻole ʻia. Ua loaʻa kahi pā pōhaku i ka hohonu o 30 mika. ʻO kona lōʻihi he mile paha ia, a ʻoi aku kona mau makahiki i hoʻokahi a me ka hapa kaukani mau makahiki. Manaʻo ʻia he koena ia o kahi kūlanakauhale kahiko. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia e ka moʻolelo ʻo ke aupuni ma lalo o ka wai o Wanaku ma aneʻi.
ʻIkepili Hoihoi
ʻO ka inoa o ka loko mai ka ʻōlelo a ka poʻe India Quechua e noho nei i kēia wahi. He titi ko lākou ma ke ʻano he puma, he holoholona laʻa, a ʻo ke kaka ka pōhaku. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ua hoʻokumu ʻia kēia hui ʻana o nā huaʻōlelo e ka poʻe Paniolo, ma muli o ke ʻano i ʻike ʻia ka loko i ka honua holoʻokoʻa ʻo Titicaca. Kāhea aku hoʻi nā kamaʻāina i ka waihona wai ʻo Mamakota. Ma mua, aia kekahi inoa ʻē aʻe - Lake Pukina, ʻo ia hoʻi aia ka waihona i loko o ka poʻe Pukin.
ʻO ka mea hoihoi, he mau mokupuni lana kai hiki ke neʻe. Hana ʻia lākou i nā ʻohe a kapa ʻia ʻo Uros. ʻO ka nui o lākou ka Sun Island, ʻo ka lua nui ka Moon Island. ʻO kekahi o nā mea hoihoi loa i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ʻo Tuckville, no ka mea ʻaʻohe pono āpau. He wahi malu kēia, a mehameha kahi e noho ai nā kamaʻāina āpau i nā kānāwai o ka pono.
Hana ʻia nā mokupuni āpau i ka ʻohe totora. Ua hoʻohana nā Indians iā lākou no ka palekana, ʻoiai i ka wā o kahi hoʻouka kaua, ʻaʻohe mea i ʻike kahi o ka mokupuni i kēlā me kēia manawa. ʻO kēlā mau ʻāpana o ka ʻāina he neʻe loa, no laila hiki i nā kamaʻāina ke ʻauana a puni ke kai inā pono.
ʻO nā mea āpau e kipa aku ai i nā wahi o ka Lake Titicaca e hana ai, e mau ka manawa i kou hoʻomanaʻo ʻana no ka manawa lōʻihi, ʻoiai ʻoe ma ka piko o ke kuahiwi, kahi e hoʻomālamalama ai ka lā mai ka papa o ka wai e ʻālohilohi ana, e lawe ka hanu i kou hanu. Aia kekahi mea e ʻike a hoʻolohe ai, e like me ka manaʻo o nā ʻōiwi i nā hanana mystical, no laila ʻoliʻoli lākou e kaʻana like i nā moʻolelo e pili ana iā lākou i ka wā huakaʻi.
