Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kāore he tangata e pai ana ki te whakakii i tāna kerēme tāke, engari ko te utu i tāu takoha he mahi uaua ake i te 2,000 tau ki muri. I whakaaturia mai e tētahi tiwhikete tāke o Ihipa onamata i whakamāoritia tata nei, ko te nui ake pea o te 220 pauna (100 kg) o ngā moni hei utu i te nama anake a tētahi tangata whai rawa. I tuhia te whiwhinga takoha ki te reo Kariki i runga i tetahi waahanga o te kohua e kiia ana ko te 22 o Hurae 98 BC. Kua whakaaturia mai e tētahi tiwhikete tāke o Ihipa onamata (i te pikitia) i whakamāoritia tata nei, e tika ana kia nui ake i te 220 pauna (100 kg) ngā moni hei utu i te nama a tētahi tangata whai rawa. Ahakoa he uaua ki te tātaitai i te uara o taua moni i roto i ngā tikanga o nāianei, e tata ana ki te $1,670 (£1,120) Te tangata, e kore e taea te pānui i tona ingoa, i utu i te tāke whakawhiti whenua o te 75 taranata, he wae moni, me te utu o te 15 taranata i runga ake, e ai ki ngā pūrongo a LiveScience. E whakaatu ana te tīkiti paraihe i utua ai te takoha i roto i nga moni, i utaina ki te peeke i te pa o Diospolis Magna, e mohiotia ana hoki ko Luxor, ko Thebes rānei. Ko Brice Jones, he ākonga PhD i te Whare Wānanga o Concordia i Montreal nāna i whakamāori te kuputuhi, i kī ko te pire he <unk>he nui rawa<unk>. I te mea kaore he moni pepa, kaore hoki he moni e rite ana ki te taranata kotahi, me utu e nga kaiwhiwhi o te pire te moni ma te whakamahi i nga drachmas, i te 6,000 o nga moni e rite ana ki te taranata kotahi. E whakaatuhia ana he whakaahua o te drachma hiriwa mai i te rautau 3 BC. He mea whakamiharo pea te mahi tonu o taua pūnaha tāke pakeke i te wā o te whawhai tōrangapū. He whakamate te tōrangapū i te tau 98 BC. Ko te Parao Ptolemy X, he mema no te whare rangatira o nga parao i whakahaere i Ihipa i muri i te matenga o Alexander the Great, i whawhai ki tona tuakana mo te torona a ko etahi korero e kii ana i patua e ia tona whaea ake kia mau tonu ai te mana. Ahakoa ana whakapau kaha, i te 89BC ka whakakeke tana ope, ka mate ia i te tau e whai ake nei, ka waiho tana tuakana ki te whakahaere i te rohe. I te mea kaore he moni pepa, kaore hoki he moni e rite ana ki te taranata kotahi, ko te hunga e utu ana i te pire ka...
Ko te whiwhinga tāke i tuhia ki te reo Kariki i runga i te ipu ipu he rā ki te 22 o Hōngongoi, 98BC. E kī ana 75 taranata me tētahi tāke i utua ki tētahi pēke i Luxor, Ihipa. Kua tātaihia e te tohunga ka ōrite tēnei ki te 220 pauna (100 kg) o ngā moni. Tērā pea i kawea te moni ki te pēke mā ngā kaihe. I whakamahia pea te utu na te mea ko tetahi waahanga o te pire i utua ki nga moni parahi. Ahakoa he uaua ki te tatau he aha te uara o taua mea i roto i nga tikanga o tenei ra, e whakaarohia ana e $1,670 (£1,120).
