[00:15.91]was working in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt.

[00:20.40]One day he asked his labourers to pull down a small hut which was in his way.
[00:23.44]有一天,他叫工人把一间挡道的小屋推倒.
[00:26.49]Carter noticed some steps beneath the hut and asked his men to clear them.
[00:29.53]卡特看见小屋下有几个台阶,就叫工人清扫干净.
[00:32.57]The steps led to a stone wall and Carter told his men to cut through it,
[00:35.93]台阶通往一堵石头墙.卡特叫工人把墙打穿,
[00:39.29]but to take care not to disturb anything that might be behind it.
[00:42.19]但要小心别把墙后可能有的东西给弄乱了.
[00:45.09]There was a passage behind the wall which led to yet another wall.
[00:47.88]墙后有条通道,它通向另一堵墙.
[00:50.68]They cut through this one very carefully
[00:52.77]他们小心翼翼地打穿了这堵墙,
[00:54.86]and suddenly came into a room full of household furniture and treasure.
[00:58.00]眼前突然出现一间堆满家具和财宝的房间.
[01:01.15]Carter spent several months making a list of every article in the room.
[01:04.05]卡特花了几个月的时间把房间里每一件物品全登记入册.
[01:06.95]When he had finished,he decided to cut through the opposite wall.
[01:09.80]完成以后又决定打开对面的墙.
[01:12.65]Then he found another room full of priceless objects.
[01:15.00]这时他发现了另一个房间堆满无价之宝,
[01:17.35]He noticed two black wooden statues which looked like guards
[01:20.95]还发现了2个黑色木雕看上去像卫士
[01:24.56]and he made a hole in the wall between them.
[01:26.71]他在这2个雕像中间的那扇墙上打了个洞.
[01:28.87]Here he found three wooden chests which fitted inside each other
[01:32.32]在那儿他发现3个套在一起的木箱,
[01:35.76]and finally a fourth chest which was,in fact,a coffin
[01:38.72]最后又发现了第4个木箱.那实际上是口棺材.
[01:41.67]Carter had discovered the tomb ofTutankhamen,
