3.Bactrian Gold, Afghanistan. 阿富汗大夏金器
In 1978 a group led by a Soviet archaeologist stumbled upon burial mounds in northern Afghanistan containing golden artifacts that were traced to Bactria, a nomadic civilization which surrendered to the armies of Alexander the Great. But as the country slid into war, the treasure -- originally kept at Kabul's National Museum -- was shifted to a vault in the presidential palace and controlled by a central bank official. The treasure was rediscovered in 2004. The hoard, which has traveled extensively, is based in Kabul's National Museum.
阿富汗大夏金器1978年,一位蘇聯(lián)考古學(xué)家率領(lǐng)的考古隊(duì)在阿富汗北部偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)了藏有金器的古墓群,這些金器可以追溯至大夏時(shí)期,這是一個(gè)被亞歷山大大帝征服的游牧文明。但是,在阿富汗陷入戰(zhàn)亂后,這些最初保存在喀布爾國(guó)家博物館中的財(cái)寶被轉(zhuǎn)移到總統(tǒng)府的一個(gè)地下保險(xiǎn)庫(kù)中,并由一位央行官員負(fù)責(zé)看管。2004年,這些金器終于重見天日。這批曾經(jīng)四處漂泊的寶藏目前存放在喀布爾國(guó)家博物館內(nèi)。
