Inja yaseMexico engenaboya uXoloitzcuintle ivela kuMbindi Merika okanye eMexico. Akayiyo into eyenziweyo yale mihla, kodwa waphulukana noboya bakhe kumawaka eminyaka eyadlulayo ngokuziqhelanisa nokuziqhelanisa nendalo kwaye waba yinja engenaboya esiyaziyo namhlanje.
Izinto ezifunyenwe ngabembi bezinto zakudala zibonisa ukuba iXolo yayikho kwakude kudala ngaphambi kokuba iSpeyin ithinjwe. Umfanekiso oqingqiweyo weXolo wamandulo uqikelelwa zizazinzulu malunga neminyaka eyi-1700 BC. Oku kubonisa ukuba iXolo lolona hlobo lwenja indala olusuka kumazwe aseMelika kwaye lolona didi indala ehlabathini.
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, ukuba olu hlobo lwenja lweza njani na. Nangona kunjalo, kunokucingelwa ukuba imvelaphi ineminyaka engaphezu kwama-4000 eyadlulayo, kuba inokufumaneka kwizinto ezininzi zobugcisa ezahlukeneyo. Ngokusekelwe kwizinto ezininzi zobugcisa, kunokucingelwa ukuba le nja yayisithixo kwaye ixabisekile ngamaxesha e-Aztec.
Igama elithi Xolo lisuka kuthixo onguXoloti, owayefuye inja enjalo. Uthixo uXoloti wayenguthixo wokufa wama-Aztec.
Imithetho
Ekubeni olu hlobo lwezinja lusukela kumawaka eminyaka, kukho iintsomi kunye namabali malunga nokubaluleka kwezinja zeXolo ngelo xesha.
Kwelinye icala, ama-Aztec elo xesha ayekholelwa ukuba ezi zinja zazinokuhamba nemimoya kubomi basemva kokufa yaye zaziphathwa ngentlonelo enzulu.
Nangona kunjalo, kwenzeka ukuba izinja zibingelelwe emva kokufa komnini wazo ukuze inja ihambe nomniniyo ebomini obungunaphakade. Kwakutyiwa izinja kusenziwa amasiko okanye ukuphiliswa, kuba kwakusithiwa abakwaXolo banamandla okuphilisa.
Babebonwa njengabaphili bezifo ezifana ne-rheumatism. Oku mhlawumbi kwakubangelwa bubushushu bomzimba wezinja. Kuthethwano, ke babesoloko betshintshiselwa ngeempahla okanye baphiwe. Ukunikwa iXolo ngezo mini yayisisipho esihloniphekileyo.
