【地理】國境與邊界-第4篇:人類的陸路旅行-遷徙之旅
【Geography】The Borders - Chapter 4: Human journey – Migration travel

 

在遠古的時代,人類為了取得更好的食物來源,陸續展開遷徙之旅。人類最古老的旅行,沒行程,沒有計畫,是一場未知的旅行。

 

In ancient times, in order to obtain a better source of food, mankind began a migration journey. The oldest trip of mankind, no itinerary, no plan, an unknown journey.

 


 

 

 

人類的遷徙旅行

 

在遠古的時代,人類為了取得更好的食物來源,陸續展開遷徙之旅。那時候的冰河時期陸路是相通的,其中有兩種推測:

 

推測一:亞洲的喜馬拉雅山區附近生活的人類開始往東遷徙,到達美洲大陸。

一部分往北遷徙,形成因紐特人(愛斯基摩人)的文化圈;

一部分往中部遷徙,形成印地安的文化圈;

一部分往南遷徙,形成南美原住民的文化圈。

 

推測二:傳說西藏人與印地安人流著同樣的血液,神奇的是他們有著類似的預言。

 

預言一:西藏預言說:「當鐵鷹在天空飛,馬有輪子在陸地奔跑時,聖僧將到紅人的土地上。」

預言二:印地安的預言說:「當鐵鳥在天空飛,穿著紅袍,失去土地的東方人將出現,兩兄弟將會合。」

(註:鐵鷹、鐵鳥應該指的是現在的飛機,有輪子的馬應該指的是現在的車子。意思應該是兩個民族因為遷移分離數千數萬年後到了現代,交通已經便利,讓他們有機會可以相遇。)

 

從推測遷徙的路線與傳說中的預言,兩者隱約似乎是相關連的。

 

Human Migration


In ancient times, in order to obtain a better source of food, mankind began a migration journey. At that time, it was the ice age and the land was connected. There are 2 speculations.

 

Speculation 1: People living near the Himalayas in Asia began to migrate eastward to reach the American continent.

Some people migrated north to form a cultural circle of Inuit (Eskimos);

some others migrated to the central part to form an Indian cultural circle;

the others migrated to the south to form a cultural circle of South American aborigines.


Speculation 2: Legend has it that Tibetans and Indians had the same blood, and, what’s more surprising, they had similar prophecies.


Prophecy 1: “When iron eagles fly in the sky and the horses run on the land with their wheels, the holy monk will come to the land of the red man." predicted by Tibetans.

Prophecy 2: "When iron birds fly in the sky with a red robe, the Easterners who have lost their land will appear, and the two brothers will unite." predicted by Indians.

(Note: The iron eagle and iron bird should refer to the current airplane, and the horse with wheels probably refers to the current car. Perhaps, it means that the two ethnic groups were separated tens of thousands of years ago because of migration, and the development of transportation enables them to have a chance to reunite.)


From the speculation on the migration route and the legendary prediction, the two seem to be somehow related.

【小常識】

野牛斷頭谷傳說 - 說法1

野牛脾氣暴躁,喜歡在草原上奔跑;在美洲還有地方叫做「野牛斷頭谷」,因為野牛個性衝動,在草原上跑得太快,結果到了懸崖邊來不及煞車,一不小心就掉下山谷底,所以下面有很多野牛的骨骸,因此稱作「野牛斷頭谷」。

 

野牛斷頭谷傳說 - 說法2

白人為趕走印地安人,想到一個方式;如果將印地安人賴以為生的野牛消除,那麼印地安人也會離開。於是利用當地懸崖地形,故意誘導並大聲驅趕野牛,受驚嚇的野牛開始跑往懸崖,接著紛紛落崖。野牛斷頭谷的名字由此而來。

 

 

 

野牛斷頭谷的位置大約在加拿大境內西南方,靠近美國西北邊境。

【Knowledge】

 

Yak: They are more stable and tamer, and are domesticated by humans
Bison: They are irritable and unrestrained.

 

Legend of the Bison's Headless Valley - Version 1
Bison has a bad temper and likes to run on the grassland. In America, there is a place called "Bison Broken Head Valley". Bisons are very impulsive, and they often run too fast on the grassland and fail to brake when reaching the edge of the cliff. So there are many bison bones below. This is how the Valley got its name.

 

Legend of the Bison's Headless Valley - Version 2
The white people thought of a way to drive away from the Indians. If the bisons that the Indians depend on for their livelihoods were eliminated, the Indians would also leave. So the white people used deliberately drove the bisons with a loud noise. The frightened bisons began to run to the cliff, and then fell off the cliff. This is where the name of Buffalo Dutou Valley comes from.

 

The location of Bison's Headless Valley is approximately southwest of Canada, near the northwest border of the United States.
