Deep beneath the Egyptian desert, a team of archaeologists is preparing to open a two and a half thousand year old sarcophagus.

在埃及沙漠的深處，一個考古學家團隊正準備打開一個有兩千五百年歷史的石棺。

情態副詞

This is surely one of the most intriguing burial chambers and it contains the largest stone sarcophagus in this complex.

這絕對是最引人入勝的墓室之一，裡面有這個墓園裡最大的石棺。

情態助動詞 B1

裡面可能躺著一具木乃伊化的身體。

When we find an object like this, the only thing we need to know is the person inside.

當我們發現像這樣的物品時，我們唯一需要知道的就是裡面的人是誰。

But there are signs that the stone casket has been tampered with.

但有跡象顯示這個石棺曾經被動過手腳。

I keep looking at this sarcophagus, it is not even, it is a little bit tilted.

我一直看著這個石棺，它並不平整，有點傾斜。

Then comes this part right here where there is a mortar attached to the lid but not to the box, the sarcophagus.

然後是這裡的部分，蓋子上有砂漿，但盒子，也就是石棺上沒有。

This lid has been opened at least once and resealed right here.

這個蓋子至少被打開過一次，然後在這裡重新密封。

Inside the necropolis of Saqqara, archaeologist Dr.

在薩卡拉的墓園裡，考古學家 Dr.

Ramadan Hussain updates his team on the latest findings from one of the most important sites in Egypt today.

Ramadan Hussain 今天向他的團隊更新了埃及其中一個最重要遺址的最新發現。

A newly discovered two and a half thousand year old funeral home where ancient Egyptians, rich and poor, were mummified and laid to rest deep underground.

一個新發現、有兩千五百年歷史的喪葬場所，古埃及人，無論貧富，都在這裡進行木乃伊化，並安葬在地下深處。

The significance of this mummification and burial complex lies in one fact, that we have never found an actual building that we can say securely this is where the preparation of the mummies took place.

這個木乃伊化和墓葬建築群的意義在於一件事，就是我們從未發現過一個實際的建築，可以確定地說，這就是製作木乃伊的地方。

The team is partway through investigating this unique site.

Their findings are transforming our understanding of mummification, both as a religious rite and a business.

他們的發現正在轉變我們對木乃伊化的理解，無論是作為一種宗教儀式還是一門生意。

There were so many people being mummified in ancient Egypt that really it was one of the biggest industries that you have going.

古埃及有太多人進行木乃伊化，這真的是當時最大的產業之一。

The people who are working inside the complex here were not just embalmers, they were also business people.

在這裡建築群裡工作的人，不只是遺體防腐師，他們也是生意人。

To reach the complex, the team must descend a vertical shaft known as K24.

要抵達這個建築群，團隊必須下降一個稱為 K24 的垂直豎井。

At the bottom of this void, carved into the bedrock, lies a mysterious engraving.

這個空腔底部，雕刻在基岩上，有一個神祕的雕刻。

We are now 30 meters deep and we have this entrance that's about 2 meters wide.

我們現在深度有 30 公尺，這裡有一個寬約 2 公尺的入口。

But what is so important about it is this engraving on the top.

但它最重要的地方是頂部的這個雕刻。

If you follow the outline from the feet to the chest, and

如果你從腳部沿著輪廓走到胸部，

this rounded depression would be the head.

Once I saw this, I realized that we're pretty much coming into something that is related to mummies.

我看到這個之後，就意識到我們差不多要進入跟木乃伊有關的東西了。

Further investigation has confirmed Ramadan's hunch.

進一步的調查證實了 Ramadan 的直覺。

Laser scans of the site reveal an intricate network of shafts and passageways stretching 100ft down and ending in a set of burial chambers from around 600 BC.

現場的雷射掃描顯示，有一個複雜的豎井和通道網絡，向下延伸 100 英尺，最後是一組約公元前 600 年的墓室。

In one of these chambers is a large stone sarcophagus weighing a colossal 12 tons.

其中一個墓室裡有一個巨大的石棺，重達驚人的 12 噸。

And today, the team begins the challenging task of investigating it.

而今天，團隊就要開始進行這項艱鉅的調查任務了。

This is Surely one of the most intriguing viral chambers in this complex.

這絕對是這個墓園裡最引人入勝的墓室之一。

The height of the ceiling is almost 3 meters high, and

而這個房間的長度大約是 4 公尺。

And it contains the largest stone sarcophagus in this complex that is almost as high as I am right now.

裡面有一個這個墓園裡最大的石棺，高度幾乎跟我現在一樣高。

And when we find an object like this, the only thing we need to know is the person.

當我們發現像這樣的東西時，我們唯一想知道的就是這個人。

Fortunately, that person left behind an important clue.

幸運的是，這個人留下了一個重要的線索。

When the chamber was first opened, the floor around the sarcophagus was covered in a thick layer of sand containing a large number of grave goods connected to the rituals of mummification and burial.

當墓室首次被打開時，石棺周圍的地板上覆蓋著一層厚厚的沙子，裡面有許多與木乃伊化和埋葬儀式有關的陪葬品。

Among these sacred objects is a set of beautifully carved stone jars.

這些神聖的物品中，有一組精美的雕刻石罐。

What we found here are these canobic jars, and

我們在這裡發現的是這些人體器官罐，

they are containers of the organs that have been extracted during the mummification process, mummified and then stored inside these jars.

它們是木乃伊化過程中取出、經過木乃伊化處理後，就存放在這些罐子裡的人體器官容器。

They're important for an archaeologist because they're usually inscribed with the name of the owner of these cannabic jars.

對考古學家來說，這些罐子很重要，因為上面通常會刻著這些人體器官罐主人的名字。

Written here, that reedleaf, a falcon and the quail chick, and the T sign all together reads Iawit.

這裡寫著，蘆葦葉、獵鷹和鵓鴣雛，還有一個T字，合起來讀作 Iawit。

Eyawit literally means the Old One or the Wise One.

Eyawit 字面上的意思是「老人」或「智者」。

This is how Egyptians used to imagine old age.

這就是埃及人對老年的一種想像。

Armed with a name, Ramadan now has another mystery to solve, and it surrounds Iyouwet's sarcophagus.

有了名字，Ramadan 現在還有另一個謎要解，那就是 Iyouwet 的石棺。

It's not in the correct position because it's not lined up with the box right here.

它沒有在正確的位置，因為它沒有對齊旁邊的這個盒子。

Then comes this part right here where there's a mortar attached to the lid, but

再來就是這裡，蓋子上有黏著砂漿，

但不是黏在棺材，也就是石棺上。

So putting together that position of the lid that is not lining up with the box, along with this mortar that is not meeting the edges of the box and the lid, it tells me one thing, that the old ceiling has been broken right here and this lid lifted up at some point and repositioned.

所以把蓋子沒有對齊棺材，還有這個砂漿沒有碰到棺材和蓋子邊緣的位置組合起來，就告訴我一件事，就是舊的天花板在這裡被打破了，這個蓋子曾經被抬起來，然後重新放回去。

And I'm sure that it happened 2,600 years ago in antiquity.

我確定這件事發生在2600年前的古代。

If Ramadan is right and the Yowet sarcophagus has been opened, then the worry is that it might have suffered the same fate as some other burials from the complex.

如果Ramadan說得對，Iyouwet的石棺被打開了，那麼擔心的是它可能會遭遇和這個墓園裡其他一些墓葬一樣的命運。

Near the shaft leading to Iyohat's burial chamber is a small tomb known as L25.

在通往Iyohat墓室的豎井附近，有一個小型的墓葬，稱為L25。

In it are two stone sarcophagi that archaeologist Mohammad Rehan has come to inspect.

裡面有兩個石棺，考古學家Mohammad Rehan前來檢查。

It's just in the east side of the embankment workshop.

And it's really tiny, it's very small as we see when we first came down here, we saw the legend was beside the coffin and the mummy here.

而且這裡真的很小，非常迷你，就像我們剛下來的時候看到的，傳說就在棺材和木乃伊旁邊。

Just small fragments as we see here, from wood, bones and textiles.

就像我們在這裡看到的，只有木頭、骨頭和紡織品的小碎片。

And as you see here, we are missing the main part of the mummy we have already had.

而且就像你們現在看到的，木乃伊的主要部分已經不見了。

And we was asking ourselves what was going on in this tomb?

我們一直在想，這個墓裡到底發生了什麼事？

Based on the level of damage, there is only one explanation.

根據破壞的程度，只有一種解釋。

When archaeologists excavate tombs, 99%, 99.9% of the time they've been robbed.

考古學家挖掘墓葬時，百分之九十九、百分之九十九點九的機率都會被盜。

And they were robbed sort of serially from the time of burial onwards.

而且他們是被連續盜竊的，從下葬的那一刻起。

First because people wanted the gold and the grave good and sometimes they just even wanted the beer and the wine that was in the tomb.

首先是因為人們想要黃金和陪葬品，有時候他們甚至只是想要陪葬的啤酒和葡萄酒。

So tombs have been robbed through the ages.

So could the broken seal on Iowate's sarcophagus be a clue that like most coffins, it's been robbed?

那麼，伊奧瓦特的石棺上被破壞的封印，會不會像大多數棺材一樣，暗示它也被盜過了？

如果是這樣，又是被誰盜的呢？

The first wave of tomb robbers tended to be the people who knew where the tombs were.

第一波盜墓者通常是知道墓穴在哪裡的人。

So they could have been the workers who helped the build the tombs or the priests who helped bury the dead.

所以他們可能是幫忙建造墓穴的工人，或是幫忙安葬死者的祭司。

To get to the bottom of this mystery, the team will need to open up the casket and look inside.

為瞭解開這個謎團，團隊需要打開棺材，看看裡面有什麼。

It is an important moment for all of us to discover what is inside it.

對我們所有人來說，這都是一個重要的時刻，要發現裡面有什麼。

Outside Yowet's burial chamber, Egyptologist Dr.

在尤維特墓室外，埃及學家 Ramadan Hussein 博士

Ramadan Hussein and his team are about to begin the epic task of opening his giant 12 ton sarcophagus.

和他的團隊正準備開始一項史詩般的任務，打開他重達 12 噸的巨大石棺。

Getting ready to lift up this 26 year old lid is very exciting and intense moment.

準備移開這 26 年的棺蓋，這是一個非常令人興奮又緊張的時刻。

It gets even more intense when you see what's inside.

當你看到裡面有什麼時，緊張感會更強烈。

With signs that the sarcophagus has been tampered with, Ramadan is anxious to discover whether it's been plundered by grave robbers.

由於石棺有被動過的跡象，Ramadan 很想知道裡面有沒有被盜墓者洗劫過。

Since the lid alone weighs close to a full sized elephant, lifting it will be no simple task.

由於棺蓋本身就重得像一頭成年大象，移開它絕非易事。

In charge of the operation is project engineer Dr. Ayman Hamed.

負責這項作業的是計畫工程師 Ayman Hamed 博士。

Moving this sarcophagus lid is a big challenge.

I think Ayman is concerned by how Amar, the site's experienced foreman, is intending to jack up the lid.

我認為 Ayman 對現場經驗豐富的工頭 Amar 打算如何頂起棺蓋感到擔心。

He wants to fit the tip of the jack like that and take it up.

他想把千斤頂的尖端像那樣放好，然後把它頂起來。

在這種情況下，一切都會崩塌。

What I think is safer is slide the lead to the side so we will create enough space to jack the led safely and freely.

我認為更安全的方法是把鉛板滑到一邊，這樣我們就有足夠的空間安全又自由地頂起鉛板。

I hope that he will understand this point of view.

When Ayman heads down the shaft, though, he discovers that Ammar is using his own method.

不過，當 Ayman 走下豎井時，他發現 Ammar 正在用他自己的方法。

I'm furious because I don't like this way.

我非常生氣，因為我不喜歡這樣做。

They are working in the limits and the limits never work.

他們在極限內工作，而極限永遠是行不通的。

我們拭目以待，祈禱沒人受傷。
