Midzi ikuluikulu, monga Tomaltepec, El Tule, Etla ndi Xaguía amatumiza nthumwi zawo kumsonkhanowo, kudzachitikira m'mudzi wa Mogote, pomwe anali atamanga kale chipinda chachikulu chopangidwa ndi miyala ndi adobe, makamaka pamsonkhano wamtunduwu.
Ku Mogote mfumuyo idaleza mtima kwambiri; amayenera kusesa mchipindacho, kupukuta pansi ndi matope ndi makoma ndi laimu watsopano; Iye anali ndi mikate yokwanira, nyemba ndi chokoleti zopangidwa, chifukwa mwanjira ina msonkhanowo unali ngati phwando; oyang'anira ochokera m'midzi ina amabwera kudzachita phwando lofunika lomwe lisinthe madera awo.
Msonkhano wa atsogoleriwo udalengezedwa ndi nkhono, ng'oma ndi shawms; Tsopano inali nthawi yowalandira, iwo ndi magulu awo.
Tsopano anali atafika, onse atanyamula zopereka ndikupempha chilolezo kwa milungu yawo kuti apite kudziko lachilendo. Mmodzi ndi m'modzi adapereka chopereka chawo chosavuta kwa Lord of Mogote: ma sauce sauce, mikate, cocoa, zofunda ndi copal, kuti ayambitse msonkhano ndi kulandira bwino.
Atayikidwa kale mnyumba yayikulu, amuna achikulire adayankhula:
“Yakwana nthawi yolumikiza midzi yathu kukhala imodzi, sitiyenera kukhala olekanitsidwa chifukwa tikugonjetsedwa mosavuta ndi adani omwe ali pafupi; Tiyenera kupeza malo apakati kuchokera pamenepo kuti tigwirizanitse mphamvu zathu, Kutha kwa Zakachikwi uku kwayandikira ndipo mabuku akuti tiyenera kusintha kuti tiyambe nyengo yatsopano, yodzala ndi mphamvu ndi mphamvu, ndipo palibe chisonyezero chodziwikiratu cha komwe muyenera kugwirizanitsa madera atsopano ”.
Wina anati: “Inu mabwana, omwe ndinu achichepere tsopano, mungaone kuti palibe chifukwa chothamangira, koma ndiye komwe tikupita; ngati pali mgwirizano pali mphamvu, pali mphamvu. Koma si mphamvu yongoganiza, muyenera kugwira ntchito kwambiri, ndipo kuti tikwaniritse tonsefe timayesetsa kukwaniritsa mgwirizanowu. Milungu yalankhula, sinama ndipo mukudziwa; M'midzi mwathu timadziwa chilichonse, momwe timamangira, kusaka, kubzala; ifenso ndife amalonda abwino ndipo timayankhula chilankhulo chimodzi. Nchifukwa chiyani tiyenera kupatukana? Milungu yanena, tiyenera kugwirizanitsa midzi ngati tikufuna kukhala akulu.
Mfumu ina inafunsa kuti: “Kodi okalamba anzeruwo tingapange bwanji mgwirizano umenewu? Kodi anthu athu atilemekeza bwanji? Ndani angafune kuchepa m'mudzi wamba? ”.
Wakale kwambiri anayankha kuti: “Ndakhala ndikuwona m'moyo wanga anthu ambiri onga mabanja athu komanso mabanja ambiri onga athu; onse ndi abwino, akulu ndi olemekezeka, koma alibe mtima. ndizomwe tiyenera kuchita, mtima waukulu wa anthu athu, mitima ya miyoyo yathu, ya ana athu ndi milungu yathu. Milungu yathu yaimuna ndi yaimuna imayenera kukhala nayo malo awo, kumeneko, pafupi ndi kumwamba, pamodzi ndi matauni ndi anthu, sizikakamiza kuchuluka kwa ndalama zochitira izi, chifukwa tili ndi manja athu, mphamvu zathu komanso chidziwitso chathu. Tipititsa patsogolo mitima ya anthu athu! Ulemu ubwera kuchokera pakupambana kumeneku ”.
Ndi kuvomerezedwa ndi omwe adapezekapo, mgwirizano waukulu pakati pa midzi yonse ya m'chigwa cha Oaxaca unali utavomerezedwa kale kukwaniritsa cholinga chimodzi: kupanga likulu la dziko la Zapotec.
Kenako adayamba ntchito yofunafuna malo abwino kwambiri ndikuwapeza m'mapiri omwe amakhala kumadzulo kwa Chigwa, komwe zimatheka kuti anthu ochokera m'matawuni ena amafuna kuukira, ku Cerro del Tigre.
M'midzi, aliyense anali wofanana, adagwira ntchito, adabzala ndikukhala limodzi, kupatula amfumu, anali woyang'anira kuyendera ndikuthokoza milunguyo, chifukwa chake atsogoleriwo adakonza mapulani awo okonzekera mzinda womwe ungakhale mtima wapadziko lonse la Zapotec. .
Izi zidachitika zaka 2,500 zapitazo. Midzi yonse ya m'chigwachi, yayikulu ndi yaying'ono, idagwira nawo ntchito yomanga likulu lawo. Uwu unadzakhala mzinda waukulu, wokhala ndi malo akuluakulu oti adzamangapo mtsogolo, popeza a Zapotec adadziwa kuti anthu awo adzakhala kwazaka zambiri, anali mpikisano wothamangitsidwa pambuyo pake.
Zotsatira za mgwirizanowu m'midzi yofunikira anali Oani Báa (Monte Albán), mzinda waukulu wa Zapotec, womwe madera onse adazindikira kuti ndiwo mtima wapadziko lonse lapansi, adagawana ndi abale awo amtundu ku Chigwa cha Oaxaca.
Atangosankhidwa, olamulira atsopano amzindawu adaganiza zokhala ndi kampeni yonga yankhondo kuti awonetsetse kuti anthu ena agwira nawo ntchito yomangayi ndikupereka ntchito, zida, chakudya komanso koposa zonse, madzi monga chinthu choyamikiridwa kwambiri. Kuti tipeze izi, kunali koyenera kubwera nazo zitanyamula mitsuko ndi miphika kuchokera mumtsinje wa Atoyac; Pachifukwa ichi, pomanga, mizere yayitali ya anthu idawoneka ikukweza madzi m'mapiri olowera ku Monte Albán.
Kuphatikiza pomanga mzindawu, njira yatsopano yolamulira inali itayamba, mafumu akumidzi anali pansi pa olamulira atsopano, omwe anali anzeru kwambiri chifukwa anali ansembe ndi ankhondo. Amayenera kulamulira kuyambira pamenepo kupita kumizinda ndi matauni aku Oaxaca, amayimira mphamvu zadziko latsopano la Zapotec.
