 考古学家在一座古墓中发现了一罐可追溯到2500年前的鸡蛋

A team of Chinese archaeologists have unearthed a large jar of eggs believed to have been buried in a tomb for about 2,500 years.

一队考古学家在一座古墓发现一罐鸡蛋,据说这些鸡蛋已经在这个墓穴里埋藏了大约2500年了。

Around 20 eggs were found and their shells appeared greenish blue, according to experts.

据专家介绍,目前已发现约20枚鸡蛋,蛋壳呈蓝绿色。

They were kept in a clay jar with a closed lid when experts found them in an excavation site in eastern China's Shangxng Town on Sunday, reported Yangzi Evening News.

据《扬子晚报》报道,上周日,专家们在上兴镇某发掘现场发现了这些陶罐。

Like a real-life echo to China's controversial delicacy, the century eggs, these ancient eggs are said to date back more than two millennia to the country's Spring and Autumn period (770-476BC).

这些古老的鸡蛋据说可以追溯到2000多年前的春秋时期(公元前770-476年)。

Experts say the eggs are similar to modern-day free-range eggs in size.

专家表示,这些鸡蛋的大小与现代自由放养的鸡蛋相似。

They also suspect that the content inside the eggs is likely to have degraded over time, leaving only the shells which are formed largely by calcium.

专家还怀疑,随着时间的推移,蛋壳内的钙含量可能已经降解,只剩下主要由钙构成的蛋壳。

In addition to the eggs, experts found a number of porcelain cups, pots, plates and other cookware in the same tomb near the city of Naning, one of China's ancient capitals.

除了这些鸡蛋,专家们还在这座古墓中发现了一些瓷杯、瓷壶、瓷盘等炊具。这座古墓位于古都南京附近。

'(The containers) were covered by mud, and the jar (with the eggs) were found above the mud. We opened the lid, and saw there were eggs,' one of the archaeologists, named Zhou Hengming, told Naning-based Modern Express.

一位名叫周恒明的考古学家告诉南京《现代快报》:“陶罐被泥浆覆盖,我们打开盖子,发现里面有鸡蛋。”。

The extraordinary findings were excavated from a multi-level ancient tomb complex, which is thought to belong to a clan and contains 38 tomb chambers.

这些不寻常的发现是从一个多层古墓群中挖掘出来的,据说该古墓群属于一个氏族,共有38个墓室。

There are a total of six layers in the tomb complex and the eggs were discovered in a chamber on the second to the lowest level.

墓穴共有六层,这些蛋是在第二层的一个墓室内发现的。

The owner of the tomb chamber was thought to be an important figure in the family as a full set of cookware and dinnerware were found in the chamber, experts told Naning-based Modern Express.

专家告诉南京《现代快报》,墓室的主人是家中的重要人物,在其墓室内发现了全套炊具和餐具。

Experts believe that the family members of the tomb's owner wouldn't want him or her to starve in the afterlife, therefore they buried a large number of containers and plenty of food.

专家认为,墓主的家人不希望其死后在另一个世界挨饿,因此埋了大量的容器和食物。

The eggs were discovered by archaeologists from the Naning Archaeological Institute and the Liyang Museum.

这些鸡蛋是由南京考古研究所和溧阳博物馆的考古学家发现的。

They are expected to undergo further lab tests.

预计专家将对这些鸡蛋进行进一步的实验。

Last September, archaeologists in central China's Luoyang claimed to have found a pot of wine from more than 2,000 years ago in an ancient tomb.

去年9月,中部洛阳的考古学家声称在一座古墓中发现了一壶2000多年前的葡萄酒。

The tipple was unearthed inside a tomb thought to belong to a local official in the ancient capital of Luoyang in central China.

这壶酒是在古都洛阳一座古墓里出土的,该墓穴被认为属于古代官员。

A total of 3.5 litres of liquid was discovered in a bronze vessel and it was thought to date back to China's West Han Dynasty (202BC-8AD).

考古学家在一个青铜容器中发现了3.5升的液体,人们认为这可以追溯到西汉时期(公元前202年-公元8年)。
