金色法老之墓 Tomb of the Golden Pharaoh

图坦卡蒙墓被发现一个世纪以来

一百年前的今天，英国考古学家和埃及学家霍华德·卡特在埃及国王谷发现了图坦卡蒙的石棺，也就是人们熟知的图坦卡门国王。尽管他们在1922年11月4日首次发现了“男孩国王”的陵墓，卡特和船员们花了数年时间才挖掘出墓地。他们的发现令世界震惊。它装载了超过5389件文物，包括一个纯金棺材、面罩、王座、弓箭、号角、一个莲花圣杯、家具、食物、酒、凉鞋、保护图坦卡蒙脚趾的金帽和新鲜亚麻内衣。因为你应该总是带着干净的内衣，即使你穿越到杜阿特，死亡的王国。

尽管图坦卡蒙被历史学家认为是一位未成年的法老，但他的陵墓的发现却是考古学史上最重要的发现之一。与许多邻近的墓葬不同，该墓地保存得非常完好，由于大部分墓葬的入口都覆盖着残骸，盗墓者都没有触及过该墓地。20世纪60年代，埃及允许图坦卡蒙国王的珍宝离开埃及展出，该展览已多次走遍世界。今天，图坦卡蒙国王的死亡面具和石棺在开罗埃及博物馆展出。

A century since Tut's tomb was discovered

A hundred years ago today, British archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter discovered the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun, better known as King Tut, in Egypt's Valley of Kings. Though they first uncovered the tomb of the 'boy king' on November 4, 1922, Carter and crew took years to excavate the burial site. What they found astonished the world. It was loaded with more than 5,389 artifacts, including a solid gold coffin, face mask, thrones, archery bows, trumpets, a lotus chalice, furniture, food, wine, sandals, gold caps to protect Tut's toes, and fresh linen underwear. Because you should always bring clean undies, even when you're crossing into Duat, the realm of the dead.

Though Tut is considered a minor pharaoh by historians, the discovery of his tomb was one of the most significant in the history of archaeology. The burial site was remarkably well preserved—unlike many neighboring tombs, it was untouched by grave robbers thanks to debris covering the entrance for most of the tomb's existence. In the 1960s, Egypt allowed the treasures of King Tut to leave the country for display, and the exhibit has traveled the world numerous times. Today, King Tut's death mask and sarcophagus are displayed here at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

一个关于可持续发展的实验 An experiment in sustainability

国际生物圈保护区日

联合国教科文组织将2022年11月3日定为第一个一年一度的国际生物圈保护区日。生物圈保护区是世界各地的广大地区，用于促进生物多样性、文化多样性、环境可持续的经济发展以及人类如何与自然共存的研究和教育。

我们今天介绍的安博塞利生物圈保护区位于乞力马扎罗山的肯尼亚一侧，包括各种各样的生态区，包括干燥的山地森林、山地、热带草原、湿地和沼泽。大象、狮子和长颈鹿在安博塞利安家。安博塞利于1980年被指定为联合国教科文组织生物圈保护区，是联合国赞助的一个项目的重点，该项目旨在确保该地区生物多样性的长期保护，部分方式是让当地居民参与可持续利用。

International Day for Biosphere Reserves

UNESCO designated November 3, 2022, the first annual International Day for Biosphere Reserves. Biosphere reserves are vast areas around the world used to promote biodiversity, cultural diversity, environmentally sustainable economic development, and research and education on how humans can coexist with nature.

The Amboseli Biosphere Reserve, which we feature today, is located on the Kenyan side of Mount Kilimanjaro and includes an amazing variety of ecological zones, including dry mountain forest, mountains, savannah rangelands, wetlands, and swamps. Elephants, lions, and giraffes make their home in the Amboseli. Designated a UNESCO biosphere reserve in 1980, Amboseli was a focus of a UN-sponsored program to ensure the long-term conservation of biodiversity in the area, partly by involving the local population in sustainable use.
