Sais, Egypt
Sais ( kwa Kigiriki Σάϊς , Coptic ) ulikuwa mji wa kale wa Misri katika Delta ya Nile Magharibi kwenye tawi la Canopic la Mto Nile, [1] unaojulikana na Wamisri wa kale kama Sꜣw . [2] Ulikuwa mji mkuu wa mkoa wa Sap-Meh, jina la tano la Misri ya Chini na ukawa makao makuu ya utawala wakati wa Enzi ya Ishirini na nne ya Misri (c. 732–720 KK) na Saite ya Ishirini na Sita ya Nasaba ya Misri (664– 525 KK) wakati wa Kipindi cha Marehemu . [3] Juu ya magofu yake leo unasimama mji wa Sa el-Hagar [2] [4] ( Arabic ) au Sa El Hajar .
Kipindi cha Neolithic
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Makazi ya Neolithic yametambuliwa huko Sais hivi majuzi (1999), yaliyoanzia 5000 KK. Kilimo kinaonekana hapa katika kipindi hiki, na vile vile kwenye tovuti nyingine kama hiyo, Merimde Beni Salama, ambayo iko karibu kilomita 80 kusini mwa Sais. [5]
Kipindi cha Neolithic huko Sais kina awamu tatu. Awamu za mwanzo ni Neolithic za Mapema (Sais I) na Marehemu Neolithic (Sais II). [6] Wakati wa Neolithic ya Mapema, tovuti ilianza kama kambi ya wavuvi lakini baadaye, Katika Kipindi cha Kati hadi Marehemu cha Neolithic, ilitatuliwa na wataalamu wa kilimo kwa ajili ya kulima eneo la mafuriko. [7]
Mabadiliko ya shughuli kutoka kwa usindikaji wa samaki hadi awamu ya uwindaji uliotulia na kilimo inaweza kuunganishwa na mabadiliko ya polepole ya hali ya hewa kutoka 4600 BC na kuendelea. Inaaminika kuwa awamu ya Unyevu wa Holocene ya Kati ilianza wakati huo. [8]
