Pedyo nechivako ichochi pane paipinda nemvura yeguta kare, mativi acho anoratidzika kuva anobvira munguva yaDhavhidhi. Kumwe kutaura kuri muBhaibheri pamusoro pemugero wemvura weJerusarema kwakamutsa mibvunzo. Somuenzaniso, Dhavhidhi akaudza varume vake kuti “aninani unoparadza vaJebhusi, ngaakwire kumugero wemvura auraye” muvengi. (2 Samueri 5:8) Mutungamiriri weuto waDhavhidhi Joabhi akaita izvozvi. Chii chinonyatsorehwa nokutaura kwokuti “mugero wemvura”?

Nyanzvi dzakanguve dzaziva kuti manyuko makuru emvura eguta rakare aiva chisipiti cheGihoni. Chaiva kunze kwemasvingo eguta asi pedyo zvikuru zvekubvumira kucherwa kwemugero nemukoto wakadzika mamita 11, izvo zvaizogonesa vagari veguta kuchera mvura vasingabudi kunze kwemasvingo ekudzivirira. Iwoyu unozivikanwa seWarren’s Shaft, wakatumidzwa kudaro muzita raCharles Warren, uyo akawana uyu mugero wacho muna 1867. Asi mugero wacho nemukoto zvakaitwa riini? Zvaivepo munguva yaDhavhidhi here? Ndiwo here mugero wemvura wakashandiswa naJoabhi? Dan Gill anopindura achiti: “Kuti tiedze kuona kana Warren’s Shaft yakanga iri mugero wakakonzerwa nekukukurwa kwevhu, takaongorora chimedu chedombo checalcium carbonate chaiva mumadziro awo kuti chaiva necarbon-14 here. Chakanga chisina, zvichiratidzira kuti dombo racho rine makore anopfuura 40 000: Izvozvi zvinogovera ufakazi hwakajeka hwekuti mugero wacho haungave wakacherwa nemunhu.”
