孫子在奶奶家中找到一具木乃伊
Alexander Kettler was playing in his grandmother's home in Diepholz, Germany, last week when he stumbled across something unusual: a sarcophagus.
德國男孩亞歷山大.科特勒上週在奶奶（迪普霍爾茨）家玩耍時，發現了一件不尋常的東西：一口石棺。Alongside dust-covered boxes and clutter, the 10-year-old found a mummy in his grandmother's attic, according to local reports. His family reportedly had never before come across the curious items."There was a huge sarcophagus and inside a mummy," Kettler's father Lutz Wolfgangtold Spiegel Online. "Then we opened the other cases and found an earthenware Egyptian death mask and a Canopic Jar."
當地媒體透露，這個10歲的男孩是在奶奶家佈滿塵土的雜亂的閣樓上發現石棺的，打開石棺，裏面盡然是一具木乃伊！男孩的家人也大爲驚訝，表示從來沒見到過這麼奇怪的東西。“石棺很大，裏面有一具木乃伊。”男孩的爸爸告訴媒體。“打開幾個木匣子，我們發現了一個陶氏的埃及人面像，還有一個卡羅皮克陶罐。”
The elder Kettler suspects the ancient artifacts may have belonged to his late father, who traveled through North Africa during the 1950s. As the BBC notes, Kettler believes the sarcophagus and artifacts are replicas, but he said he thinks the mummy may be the real deal.
老科特勒估計這些古文物應該屬於他的先父。老大爺說他的父親於18世紀50年代去過北非。老大爺覺得石棺和臉譜等文物應該是複製品，但那一具木乃伊應該是真品。
Testing will be required to confirm if the wrapped figure within the sarcophagus is an actual mummy. Kettler told the Bild newspaper that he plans to transport the mummy to Berlin for examination.
木乃伊將送去檢驗是否是真品，科特勒告訴報社，他們會把木乃伊送到柏林去驗明正身。
If the mummy is proven to be an authentic Egyptian antiquity, authorities in Egypt will seek to bring the relic back to the country."Diplomacy is a successful way to resolve these sorts of issues, and it is not costly," Abdel Maqsoud, deputy director of the Antiquities Sector at Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities, told Egypt Independent. "We should first check if the piece left the country legally and find out if it is registered at any museum."
如果木乃伊被檢驗出是真品，埃及當局希望將木乃伊送還回埃及。“外交手段是處理這種事件的有效手段，這是不需要重金贖買的。”埃及文物局副主任Abdel Maqsoud對媒體講到。“我們應該第一時間查明，這一具木乃伊是否是合法出境的，也應該查明是否是任何一家博物館的文物。”
