I-Monument Valley ingumfanekiso kazwelonke wase-USA

I-Monument Valley ngolimi olomile wezazi ze-geologists yindawo enamathela ezintabeni. Imfihlo yokubunjwa kwayo ilula. Esikhathini saseMesozoic, amanzi olwandle lasendulo aqhuma kule ndawo. Izigidi zama-mollusk, eziphila impilo yazo emfushane, zashiya phansi kwegobolondo, okuyiyo, ehluphayo futhi ecindezelayo, yaphenduka yaba yi-depositone ne-choki. Ekupheleni kweCretaceous, isiqalo somhlaba saqala ukuphakama, ulwandle lwaphela. Ipulazi ivukele esibhakabhakeni. Ukuphumula konke kwaqedwa yimimoya, imvula kanye namanzi wezinga lokushisa kwesimo sezulu sasehlane. Umswakama wahlanza amadwala alula kakhulu, futhi izinsalela - inhlabathi eqinile, ukulwa nokuhlaselwa kwezakhi - memezela ukucabanga kwethu ngezinkulumo zabo eziyinqaba.

Akusizi ngalutho ukuthi iSivumelwano Sokumbumbulu sinegama elinjalo. Iso lomuntu lidonsa ukuma okujwayelekile ekuhlanganiseni okungenasisekelo kwamadwala, ukunikeza amagama ngamagama abongoti. "Sombrero", "i-Rukavichki", "i-Nasedka", "izintombi ezintathu" namanye amaqembu aqoshiwe athola izinkulungwane zezivakashi. Nokho, kunzima ukufika kule ndawo emangalisayo. Itholakala emngceleni wezwe lase-Arizona nase-Utah, emaphethelweni enkangala. Kuholela lapho umgwaqo omkhulu kuphela lapho imoto evela emzini oseduze - i-Flagstaff - ukuthola cishe amahora amane.

Kodwa, naphezu kokungatholakali kwale ndawo, ngaphandle kokuvakashela e-Valley of Monuments naseGrand Canyon, akuhambanga nohambo olulodwa oluya e-United States. Kunzima ukukholelwa ukuthi kuze kube sekupheleni kwekhulu lama-30 leminyaka eledlule lesi sifunda kwakuyikhoneni elikhohliwe lezwe, lapho isizwe samaNavajo sasihlala khona ekubhukeni. Umhlalaphansi omhlophe uHarry Gaulding wathatha izithombe ezimbalwa zendawo futhi wahamba nabo eHollywood, ngemva kwalokho iqembu labafilimu eliholwa nguJohn Ford lafika e-canyon. Manje le ndawo ingumfanekiso kazwelonke wase-USA. Ngaphandle kwamafilimu enkolo (isibonelo, "Stagecoach", "i-Gold McKenna", "i-Forrest Gamp"), indawo yezintaba ezisele isemuva kwezokukhangisa okudumile emhlabeni "Marlboro".

I-Monument Valley yigama lesiNgisi lendawo. AmaNdiya aseNavajo ngokwabo - izakhamuzi zasendabuko epulazini eliwugwadule - wawubiza ngokuthi: "Indawo phakathi kwamadwala lapho izihlahla zingakhuli khona." Ifantasy yabamhlophe abafudukayo kanye nama-aborigines kubonakala sengathi bayaphikisana, enikeza amadwala amagama amaningi anombala futhi anezinhlamvu. Isigodi singahamba ngezinyawo, ngemoto, "u-cowboy" - ehhashi. I-Ostentzian plateau iyingxenye yeGrand Canyon National Park , futhi uma ufike lapha, ungazitholi kwiMonument Valley yedwa.

Ungakwazi ukugibela ngasemaphethelweni endlela enkulu esitimeleni sezokuvakasha, noma ungahamba phezu kwalo ngendiza encane. Kukhona amapulatifomu amaningi wokubuka okuthakazelisayo: I-Celestial Path (ibhuloho yesilazi phezu kokucindezeleka kwe-1220 m ukujula) noma yesikhulumi esingaphansi kwe-Skywalk ngezansi. Eningizimu, i-Monument Valley igcinwe kwiDainted Desert, lapho kukhona khona ihlathi elithintekayo. Izihlahla, ezaqhubeka zihlala eMesozoic, azizange zibole, kodwa zazingathandwa. Phakathi kwezindandatho zaminyaka yonke zalezi zinsika zasendulo zikhona izidakamizwa ezibonakalayo zamatshe ayingqayizivele angakhiwe ngesikhathi se-crystallization kwezinkuni. Futhi uma usuka entshonalanga esigodini sokugwedla, ungathola e-Rainbow Bridge - umdwebo wamatshe olinganiselwe - futhi nomkhiqizo wezulu.
