Inja yaseMexico engenaboya u-Xoloitzcuintle okokuqala ivela eMelika Ephakathi noma eMexico. Akayena owasungulwa ezikhathini zanamuhla, kodwa walahlekelwa uboya bakhe ezinkulungwaneni zeminyaka edlule ngokuzivumelanisa nokuziphendukela kwemvelo futhi waba inja eccentric engenazinwele esiyaziyo namuhla.
Okutholwe ngemivubukulo kubonisa ukuthi iXolo yayikhona kudala ngaphambi kokunqotshwa kweSpain. Isifanekiso sasendulo se-Xolo’s silinganiselwa ososayensi cishe eminyakeni eyi-1700 BC. Lokhu kukhombisa ukuthi iXolo iwuhlobo lwezinja endala kunawo wonke emazweni aseMelika kanjalo nolunye lwezinja ezindala kakhulu emhlabeni.
Ukuthi lolu hlobo lwezinja lwavela kanjani akwaziwa kuze kube namuhla. Kodwa-ke, kungacatshangwa ukuthi imvelaphi ineminyaka engaphezu kwengu-4000 edlule, ngoba ingatholakala ezintweni eziningi zobuciko ezahlukene. Ngokusekelwe ezintweni eziningi zobuciko, kungacatshangwa ukuthi le nja yayinziwe unkulunkulu futhi ibalulekile ngezikhathi zama-Aztec.
Igama elithi Xolo livela kunkulunkulu uXoloti, owayefuye inja enjalo. Unkulunkulu uXoloti wayengunkulunkulu wokufa wama-Aztec.
Izinganekwane
Njengoba lolu hlobo lwezinja luhlehlela emuva ezinkulungwaneni zeminyaka, kunezinganekwane nezindaba ngokubaluleka kohlobo lwezinja i-Xolo ngaleso sikhathi.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ama-Aztec angaleso sikhathi ayekholelwa ukuthi lezi zinja zingahamba nemimoya ekuphileni kwangemva kokufa futhi ziphathwa ngenhlonipho enkulu.
Nokho, kwenzeka ukuthi izinja nazo zanikelwa ngemva kokufa komnikazi wazo ukuze inja ihambisane nomnikazi wayo ekuphileni okuphakade. Izinja nazo zazidlelwa ukwenza imikhuba noma ukuphulukiswa, ngoba amaXolo kuthiwa anamandla okuphilisa.
Babebhekwa njengabelaphi bezifo ezifana ne-rheumatism. Lokhu mhlawumbe kwakubangelwa ukushisa komzimba wezinja. Ezingxoxweni, ngakho-ke babevame ukuhwebelana ngezimpahla noma baphiwe. Ukuphiwa iXolo ngalezonsuku kwakuyisipho esihlonipheke kakhulu.
