哈萨克斯坦现世界首座金字塔 比埃及的早1千年

A previously unknown Egyptian-style pyramid has been found in a remote area of the Kazakhstansteppe some 3,900 miles northeast of Cairo.
在哈萨克斯坦一处草原的边缘地区，大概距开罗东北方向3900英里处，人们发现了状似埃及金字塔的古金字塔遗址。

The structure is now substantially in ruins but it is believed that it was a lookalike of the famous Pyramid of Djoser in Egypt, and built around 1,000 years earlier.
该金字塔结构现在大部分都化为废墟，只不过考古学家认为这次发现的金字塔与埃及著名的乔塞尔金字塔十分相似，且比后者早大约1000年建成。

Archeologists discovered it last year but until now have kept their 'sensational find' under wraps.
考古学家们是去年发现了这处金字塔遗址，但先如今才揭晓他们这个“震惊世界的发现”。

Scientists are due to explore the unopened burial chamber of the pyramid complex 'within days'.
“无须多少时日”，科学家们便能解密此古金字塔建筑群内尚未被开启的墓室。

'It was built more than 3,000 years ago in Saryarke for a local 'pharaoh', a leader of a local mighty tribe dating to late Bronze epoch,' said archeologist Viktor Novozhenov.
考古学家维克多·诺沃泽诺夫表示：“这处金字塔群是在3000多年前的Saryarke，人们专为当地部落长老（如今所称的法老）建造的。该部落可追溯到青铜时代晚期。”

'Work on opening the main burial chamber will begin within days.
“考古学家们会继续工作，要不了几天，他们便能一睹主墓室内的情景。”

'All finds will be passed to the archaeology museum of Karaganda State University.'
“所有的发现将会被送至卡拉干达州立大学考古博物馆。”

The discovery was made by specialists from the Saryarkinsky Archeology Institute in Karaganda under the leadership of Igor Kukushkin.
这次的考古发现多亏了由伊戈尔·库库什金领头，来自卡拉干达州Saryarke考古研究所（Saryarkinsky Archeology Institute）的专家们 。
