It doesn’t look like much, but this tattered piece of clothing found buried in an ancient Egyptian cemetery has been confirmed as the world’s oldest dress as well as the oldest woven garment known to archaeologists. 虽然看上去其貌不扬,然而这件发现于古代埃及墓穴中的褴褛衣裳已经被考古学家确认为世界上最古老的裙装,也是最古老的纺织工艺成衣。 Called the Tarkhan dress, the remarkable garment has now officially been dated by University College London researchers to between 5,100 and 5,500 years old. That places it way back to the First Dynasty of ancient Egypt, and possibly even earlier. 这条裙子被称作达拉罕裙。据伦敦大学学院的研究者测定并公布,这件令人惊叹的裙衫制造于公元前5100年到5500年之间,即古代埃及的第一王朝,可能甚至更早。 |
