发掘一个女王丢失的故事(Unearthing a queen's lost tale)
大约3500年前,在哈特谢普苏特女王的统治下,埃及享有数十年的和平与繁荣的文化,而这座优雅的神庙只是她超越生命的遗产中的一部分。但是继承哈特谢普苏特的法老禁止任何人提及她的统治,因为她的纪念碑而受到赞扬,数千年来她的名字几乎无人知晓。
原文:
Almost 3,500 years ago under Queen Hatshepsut's reign, Egypt enjoyed decades of peace and flourishing culture, and this elegant temple is just one piece of her larger-than-life legacy. But the pharaoh who succeeded Hatshepsut forbade all mention of her rule, taking credit for her monuments and leaving her name all but unknown for millennia.
