PM Modi to bring home 157 artefacts handed over by US

莫迪总理将带回美国移交的157件文物

PM Narendra Modi will bring home 157 artefacts and antiquities from the US, which were handed over to him during his visit. Modi and US President Joe Biden committed to strengthen their efforts to combat theft, illicit trade and trafficking of cultural objects.

印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪将从美国带回157件文物，这些文物是他访问期间美国移交给他的。莫迪和美国总统乔·拜登承诺加强努力，打击对古文物的偷盗、走私和非法交易

The list of 157 artefacts includes a diverse set of items ranging from the one-and-a-half metre bas relief panel of Revanta in sandstone of the 10th CE to the 8.5cm-tall bronze Nataraja from the 12th CE. “This continues the efforts by the Modi government to bring back our antiquities artefacts from across the world,” an official said.

157件文物包括一系列不同的物品，包括一尊1.5米高、可追溯至公元10世纪的沙岩材质浮雕，以及一尊仅8.5厘米高、可追溯至12世纪的青铜材质神像。一名官员表示：“这是莫迪政府从世界各地带回印度文物的努力的继续。”

The items largely belong to the 11th CE to 14th CE period as well as historic antiquities such as the copper anthropomorphic object of 2000 BC or the terracotta vase from the 2nd CE. Some 45 antiquities belong to the Before Common Era. While half of the artifacts (71) are cultural, the other half consists of figurines which relate to Hinduism (60), Buddhism (16) and Jainism (9).

这些文物大部分属于公元11至14世纪时期，还有一些历史文物，如公元前2000年的铜器拟人物和公元2年的赤陶花瓶。大约45件文物属于公元前的物品。一半的文物(71件)与文化有关，另一半是与印度教(60件)、佛教(16件)和耆那教(9件)有关的小雕像。

The make of these items spreads across metal, stone and terracotta. The bronze collection primarily contains ornate figurines of the well-known postures of Lakshmi Narayana, Buddha, Vishnu, Siva Parvathi and the 24 Jain Tirthankaras and the less common Kankalamurti, Brahmi and Nandikesa besides other unnamed deities and divine figures.

这些物品的材质包括金属、石头和陶土。青铜收藏品主要包括拉克希米·纳拉亚纳、佛陀、毗湿奴、湿婆帕瓦蒂、24个耆那提坦卡拉和不太常见的Kankalamurti、Brahmi和Nandikesa的华丽雕像，以及其他不知名的神像。

These were stolen and some of it returning. Mughals and any other invader are the destroyers and cowards who spent most of their time in breaking idols, destroying Indian scriptures are never to be forgiven. Lot of treasures as such were destroyed so that later people don't learn them and understand the value and great culture of Bharat

文物被盗了，还回来了一些。莫卧儿和其他侵略者是破坏者和懦夫，他们大部分时间都花在破坏神像、破坏印度经典上，这是永远无法原谅的。

很多这样的珍宝被毁了，以至于后来的人们不去了解它们，不了解巴拉特的价值和伟大的文化

Jai Hindustan. It stablish the oldest culture of Hinduism in the World. The Christian culture is 2000 years old, muslim some 600 years and Sikhism just 400 years. How old Hinduism, our vedas says and in proof these Artefacts show some facts.

印度必胜。印度建立了世界上最古老的印度教文化。基督教文化有2000年的历史，锡克教只有400年。我们的吠陀说明了印度教有多古老，这些文物就是证明。
