哈薩克斯坦現世界首座金字塔 比埃及的早1千年
A previously unknown Egyptian-style pyramid has been found in a remote area of the Kazakhstansteppe some 3,900 miles northeast of Cairo.
在哈薩克斯坦一處草原的邊緣地區，大概距開羅東北方向3900英里處，人們發現了狀似埃及金字塔的古金字塔遺址。
The structure is now substantially in ruins but it is believed that it was a lookalike of the famous Pyramid of Djoser in Egypt, and built around 1,000 years earlier.
該金字塔結構現在大部分都化爲廢墟，只不過考古學家認爲這次發現的金字塔與埃及著名的喬塞爾金字塔十分相似，且比後者早大約1000年建成。
Archeologists discovered it last year but until now have kept their 'sensational find' under wraps.
考古學家們是去年發現了這處金字塔遺址，但先如今才揭曉他們這個“震驚世界的發現”。
Scientists are due to explore the unopened burial chamber of the pyramid complex 'within days'.
“無須多少時日”，科學家們便能解密此古金字塔建築羣內尚未被開啓的墓室。
'It was built more than 3,000 years ago in Saryarke for a local 'pharaoh', a leader of a local mighty tribe dating to late Bronze epoch,' said archeologist Viktor Novozhenov.
考古學家維克多·諾沃澤諾夫表示：“這處金字塔羣是在3000多年前的Saryarke，人們專爲當地部落長老（如今所稱的法老）建造的。該部落可追溯到青銅時代晚期。”
'Work on opening the main burial chamber will begin within days.
“考古學家們會繼續工作，要不了幾天，他們便能一睹主墓室內的情景。”
'All finds will be passed to the archaeology museum of Karaganda State University.'
“所有的發現將會被送至卡拉幹達州立大學考古博物館。”
The discovery was made by specialists from the Saryarkinsky Archeology Institute in Karaganda under the leadership of Igor Kukushkin.
這次的考古發現多虧了由伊戈爾·庫庫什金領頭，來自卡拉幹達州Saryarke考古研究所（Saryarkinsky Archeology Institute）的專家們 。
