你所不知道的全球五大寶藏

In 1988 an Iraqi archeologist unearthed golden jewelry, ornaments and other precious Assyrian artifacts. They were exhibited at Baghdad's National Museum for just a few months before Iraq invaded Kuwait and the treasure had to be stashed away in a secret location. After that, little was known of the treasure. Many feared it had been looted, sold or blown up in missile strikes. It wasn't until June 2003 that a delegation of museum staff and U.S. officials found the treasure, intact, in five waterlogged wooden crates in a basement of a bombed out building of the central bank.

1988年，一位伊拉克考古學(xué)家發(fā)掘出了黃金珠寶、裝飾品和其他珍貴的亞述時(shí)期器物。它們只在巴格達(dá)的國(guó)家博物館展出了幾個(gè)月，然后伊拉克入侵科威特，這批財(cái)寶不得不被轉(zhuǎn)移隱藏到一個(gè)秘密的場(chǎng)所。從此以后，這批財(cái)寶幾乎杳無(wú)音訊。許多人擔(dān)心它們已被人劫掠、售賣或者被導(dǎo)彈炸毀。直到2003年6月，一個(gè)由博物館工作人員和美國(guó)官員組成的代表團(tuán)才在被炸毀的央行大樓地下室里找到了這批財(cái)寶，它們被完好無(wú)損地裝在五個(gè)浸飽了水的木板箱中。
