开罗——位于开罗郊区、由日本支持建设的大埃及博物馆(GEM)周日迎来运营一周年。
Cairo – The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), built with Japanese support on the outskirts of Cairo, marked its first anniversary Sunday.
在运营的第一年,尽管中东局势持续恶化,该博物馆仍吸引了超过500万名游客。
During its first year of operations, the museum attracted over 5 million visitors despite the deteriorating situation in the Middle East.
位于吉萨市的该博物馆收藏了超过10万件古埃及文物,包括图坦卡蒙法老陵墓中的金面具及其他陪葬品。
The museum in the city of Giza houses over 100,000 ancient Egyptian artifacts, including the golden mask and other funerary items from the tomb of King Tutankhamun.
为纪念成立一周年,GEM将从本月持续至明年4月底举办一场特别夜间表演。该表演运用灯光和音乐,重现古埃及生活场景,包括尼罗河泛滥和农作物收割。
To commemorate its first anniversary, the GEM will host a special nighttime show from this month through the end of April next year. Using lighting and music, the show recreates scenes from ancient Egyptian life, including the flooding of the Nile and crop harvesting.
GEM首席执行官艾哈迈德·格奈姆对记者表示,该博物馆已实现吸引更多游客前往金字塔地区的目标,凸显了其对当地旅游业的贡献。
GEM CEO Ahmed Ghoneim told reporters that the museum had achieved its goal of attracting more tourists to the pyramid area, highlighting its contribution to local tourism.
GEM位于吉萨三大金字塔附近,后者是联合国教科文组织世界遗产的一部分,是世界上最大的考古博物馆之一。日本专家协助修复出土文物并培训当地技术人员。
Located near the three pyramids in Giza, which are part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, the GEM is one of the world’s largest archaeological museums. Japanese experts have assisted in restoring excavated artifacts and training local technicians.
“我花了三个半小时都没能看完所有展品,”来自东京、52岁的公司职员仁宫英之在参观博物馆后表示。“图坦卡蒙的棺椁和金面具尤其令人印象深刻。”
“I couldn’t see all the exhibits even after spending three and a half hours,” said Hideyuki Ninomiya, a 52-year-old company employee from Tokyo who visited the museum. “Tutankhamun’s coffin and golden mask were particularly impressive.”
