고고학자들, 이집트 옛 무덤에서 시신처리용 장구, 보석 등 유물 발견 (영문첨부)


이집트의 `왕들의 계곡'에서 발굴작업을 벌이고 있는 고고학자들이 지금까지 공개되지 않았던 무덤에서 시신처리용 장구와 꽃으로 만든 보석 등 유물을 발견했습니다.

그러나 미이라는 없었습니다. 3천년 이상 된 것으로 보이는 이 무덤은 학자들이 내부에서 발견된 7개 석관 중 마지막 석관을 열면서 완전히 외부에 드러났습니다.

7개 석관 어느 곳에도 시신은 없었으며 석관들은 대부분 만지면 부서져 버릴 도자기 조각들로 채워져 있었습니다.

Archaeologists working in Egypt's Valley of the Kings ancient burial site have discovered embalming material, jewelry made from woven flowers and other artifacts in a previously unopened tomb -- but there was no mummy.

The tomb believed to be more than three-thousand years old was fully revealed Wednesday, when scientists opened the last of seven sarcophagi found inside.

None of the seven coffins contained bodies. Most of them were filled with pottery shards that would crumble into dust if touched. One small coffin, made for a baby, contained pillows that appeared to be stuffed with feathers.

Scientists believe the find will help them identify who the coffins were made for, and perhaps where the bodies were ultimately buried.

The tomb was discovered last year by American archaeologists.
