作為埃及歷史上最著名的法老，圖坦卡蒙身上有著諸多未解謎團——撲朔迷離的身世，意外的死亡，還有傳說中法老那可怕的詛咒。接下來，小編給大家準(zhǔn)備了埃及法老的身世之謎,歡迎大家參考與借鑒。

　　埃及法老的身世之謎

　　埃及古文物管理委員會主席上周日透露，作為古埃及難解謎團之一，“少年法老”圖坦卡蒙的身世之謎即將被揭曉。

　　One of the great remaining mysteries of ancient Egypt, the lineage of the boy-pharaoh Tutankhamun, may soon be solved, the country's antiquities supremo hinted on Sunday.

　　扎希-哈瓦斯對法新社表示，他已經(jīng)計劃于2月17日在開羅博物館召開新聞發(fā)布會，公布這位著名法老的DNA檢驗結(jié)果。

　　Zahi Hawass told AFP he has scheduled a news conference for February 17 in the Cairo Museum to unveil the findings from DNA samples taken from the world's most famous pharaoh.

　　哈瓦斯表示，“進行DNA分析后，根據(jù)對圖坦卡蒙木乃伊的科學(xué)檢驗結(jié)果。此次發(fā)布的內(nèi)容將關(guān)系到圖坦卡蒙家族血緣方面的秘密?！?/p>

　　The announcement will be "about the secrets of the family and the affiliation of Tutankhamun, based on the results of the scientific examination of the Tutankhamun mummy following DNA analysis," Hawass said.

　　這位少年法老于9歲時登基，19歲左右神秘死亡。1922年英國考古學(xué)家在帝王谷發(fā)掘出了圖坦卡蒙的陵墓，這在當(dāng)時也引起了國際上的轟動。

　　The tomb of the boy king, who reigned from the age of nine and died under as yet unknown circumstances at about 19, was unearthed by British archaeologists in the Valley of the Kings in 1922, causing an international sensation.

　　2008年8月，埃及古文物界的權(quán)威們表示，他們已取得了圖坦卡蒙木乃伊的DNA標(biāo)本，并將根據(jù)墓中兩個尚未出生便夭折的胎兒，來確定他們究竟是不是這位少年法老的孩子。

　　In August 2008, Egypt's antiquities authorities said they had taken DNA samples from Tutankhamun's mummy and from two fetuses found in his tomb to determine whether the still-born children had been fathered by the boy king.

　　哈瓦斯表示，接下來，DNA測試還會確定圖坦卡蒙的身世，以及兩個死嬰是否為圖坦卡蒙和安肯森娜蒙所生。安肯森娜蒙是歷史上最著名的美女之一，奈費爾提蒂的女兒。

　　Hawass said then the DNA tests also would determine Tutankhamun's lineage, and whether the foetuses were the offspring of Tutankhamun and Ankhesenpamon, the daughter of Nefertiti who is renowned as one of history's great beauties.

　　他聲稱，該研究結(jié)果將有助于辨認(rèn)埃及女王奈費爾提蒂的木乃伊。

　　He had said the results of the studies would also help in identifying the mummy of queen Nefertiti.

　　圖坦卡蒙親生父母的身份仍是個謎團。盡管人們確定他的父親是阿肯納頓法老，但是對其母親仍舊一無所知。

　　Mystery has surrounded the identities of Tutankhamun's own parents: while his father was the Pharaoh Akhenaton, his mother remains unknown.

　　對于3000年前這位少年法老的死因，至今仍然是歷史學(xué)家爭論的焦點。一些人認(rèn)為他死于腿部外傷感染，另一些人稱他死于謀殺，頭部曾遭到重?fù)簟?更多信息請訪問：http://www.24en.com/

　　The boy king's death more than 3,000 years ago remains the subject of dispute among historians, with some believing he died when a leg injury turned gangrenous, and others saying he was murdered by a blow to the head.

　　圖坦卡蒙是他那個朝代的最后一位統(tǒng)治者，暗殺死因理論也是基于這一事實。

　　Theories that he was assassinated stemmed from the fact that he was the last ruler of his dynasty.
