King Tut and His Treasures
法老王和他的宝藏
Undisturbed for millenia(千年), nearly forgotten by history, it was only chance that brought Tutankhamun — commonly known as King Tut — to modern fame.
千年以来缄默的王朝,几乎已被历史遗忘,一个偶然的机会成就了图坦卡蒙——大家都称之为“法老王”——的现代化名誉。
In 1922, archaeologist(考古学家) Howard Carter uncovered Tutankhamun's tomb.
1922年,考古学家霍华德·卡特发现了图坦卡蒙的坟墓。
It was the best preserved pharaoh's(法老) tomb ever to be discovered, basically untouched by the tomb robbers(盗墓者) who emptied most others of their treasures.
这是迄今为止发现的保存最完好的法老墓,几乎没被盗墓者触碰过,他们几乎掏空了其它墓的宝藏。
The artifacts(工艺品) inside gave a never-before-seen look into the life and death of an Egyptian(埃及) Pharaoh, and sparked new curiosity about King Tut, a ruler lost to time.
墓穴里出土的工艺品前所未见,都是关于埃及法老的生活和死亡,也激发了人们对逝去的统治者法老王的好奇心。
He was born as Tutankhaten more than three thousand years ago, about 1341 BC, the son of the pharaoh Akhenaten.
他原名叫图坦卡吞,生于3000多年前,大约在公元前1341年,是阿肯那顿法老的儿子。
Akhenaten was a controversial pharaoh — he made many changes to the religion(宗教) of ancient Egypt, including switching from worshiping(崇拜) many gods to worshiping only Aten, the sun, and moving the capital city from Thebes to a new city, Amarna, which he built.
阿肯那顿是一个有争议的法老,他对古埃及的宗教做出了许多改变,从崇拜许多神到只崇拜太阳神阿托恩,还把首都从底比斯移到他所建的新城市阿玛纳。
Akhenaten died when Tut was very young, and Tut became the pharaoh at the age of nine.
阿肯那顿在图坦很小的时候就去世了,因此图坦卡蒙9岁时就成了法老。
With the help of powerful advisers, young Tut reversed(推翻) all of his father's changes and even changed his name to Tutankhamun to show that he was ending the time when Aten was worshiped as the one god.
在强大的辅佐人员帮助之下,年轻的图坦卡蒙推翻了他父亲所做的所有改变,甚至把他的名字改为图坦卡蒙,以表明他结束了阿托恩为唯一崇拜的神的时代。
