新奇事件簿 科学家发现5000年前人类服装材料(在线收听) |
We now have a good idea of what kind of clothes people wore over 5,000 years ago. Scientists studied the pieces of material that were on the body of a man who died in Europe 5,300 years ago. His body was frozen under ice in the Alps Mountains. Archaeologists discovered his body in a glacier in 1991. They called him Otzi the Iceman. They also found bits of clothing and Otzi's accessories and weapons. Scientists have analysed everything they found to get an idea of what early humans looked like, what they ate and what they wore. They even have an idea of what Otzi's voice sounded like. The scientists said Otzi provided "rare and valuable information" about how humans used animals five millennia ago. 我们现在对5000多年前的人们穿的衣服有了非常详尽的了解。科学家研究了5300年前在欧洲死亡的一名男子身上的材料碎片。他的遗体被冰冻在阿尔卑斯山脉的冰层下。考古学家于1991年在冰川下发下了他的遗体。他们称他为奥茨冰人。他们还发现了一些衣服碎片,以及奥茨的配饰和武器。科学家分析了他们发现的一切物品,了解到早期人类看上去是什么样子,吃什么,穿什么。他们甚至了解到奥茨的声音是什么样的。这些科学家表示,奥茨为我们了解5000年前的人类如何利用动物提供了稀有而珍贵的信息。 The research team said Otzi's clothes were from several different animals. He had leggings that were made from goat leather. He wore a hat made from brown bear fur. Otzi's leather coat was stitched together from at least four different kinds of animals. His shoes were made from different kinds of grass. Otzi's body was also covered in 61 tattoos. Scientists say these were for pain relief for his aching joints and not for decoration. Otzi was 45 when he died, which was quite old for a man 5,000 years ago. He suffered from heart disease and had dental problems. Scientists say he did not die naturally. He was murdered. Someone killed him by firing an arrow at him, which hit him in the head. 研究团队表示,奥茨的衣服来自几种不同的动物。他的绑腿是用山羊皮制作的,帽子是用棕熊毛制作的。奥茨的皮外套是用至少四种不同的动物皮毛缝在一起的。他的鞋子是用不同种类的草制作而成的。他的身上还有61个刺青。科学家表示,这是为了缓解关节疼痛,而不是为了装饰。奥茨去世时45岁,对于5000年前的人来说已经非常老了。他患有心脏病,牙齿也有问题。科学家表示,他并非自然死亡,而是被谋杀。有人向他射箭,击中了头部导致其死亡。 |
