图坦卡蒙金字塔后的密室终于开始探测了

Egypt’s Antiquities Ministry says archaeologists are starting radar scans of the tomb of famed pharaoh Tutankhamun in the southern city of Luxor.

埃及文物部表示，考古学家正在对埃及卢克索南部城市的著名法老图坦卡蒙陵墓进行雷达扫描。

The ministry said Thursday the scans will be carried out over a week to check for the existence of any hidden chambers behind the tomb.

文物部表示，周四他们会开始进行为期一周多的检查，搜寻墓冢后面是否有隐藏的房间。

Egypt carried out previous scans as part of the quest but the findings were inconclusive.

尽管埃及早就开展了对于陵墓的探索计划，但以前的努力并未有实质性进展。

The tomb of King Tut, who ruled Egypt more than 3,000 years ago, was discovered in 1922 in the Valley of the Kings, located on the west bank of the Nile river in Luxor.

3000多年前，统治埃及的图坦卡蒙法老古墓于1922年在帝王谷中被发现，帝王谷位于卢克索的尼罗河西岸。

For many, Tut embodies ancient Egypt’s glory because his tomb was packed with the glittering wealth of the rich 18th Dynasty from 1569 to 1315 B.C.

对于很多人来说，图坦卡蒙象征着古埃及的辉煌，因为他的陵墓埋藏着从公元前1569年至公元前1315年的第十八王朝的巨大财富。
