Egyptian archaeologists have discovered the bottom part of an unknown pyramid in the Sakkara area about 18 miles south of Cairo.
埃及考古學家在開羅以南約29千米的塞加拉地區發現了一座未知金字塔的底部。
National Geographic explorer-in-residence Dr. Zahi Hawass, the Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council for Antiquities, says he believes the pyramid belonged to the Fifth Dynasty King Menkauhor who ruled from 2444 B.C. to 2436 B.C.
國家地理駐地探險家、埃及古跡最高委員會秘書長扎伊·哈瓦斯博士表示，他認為該金字塔屬于公元前2444年至公元前2436年在位的第五王朝國王門卡霍爾。
Hawass says no one had ever excavated the pyramid and no one knew which king it contained in its tomb. The excavation revealed the substructure of a now headless pyramid.
哈瓦斯稱，從沒有人開挖過這座金字塔，也沒人知道它的墓室里躺著的是哪位國王。此次挖掘顯露了這個如今無頭的金字塔的下部結構。
"We've found the burial chamber, and we found also the lid of a sarcophagus, and we did not discover yet the entrance to the pyramid because it's located underneath this village.
“我們已經找到了墓室，我們還找到了石棺的棺蓋，但我們還沒發現金字塔的入口，因為它在這座村莊的下面。
That we're planning to move this village soon to another area in the valley, the study of the stones and the sarcophagus (are) can show that this pyramid should be a pyramid belonged to Dynasty Five. And the only missing pyramid of a king of Dynasty Five is a king called Menkauhor."
我們正計劃盡快將這個村莊搬到谷中的另一個地方去，石塊和石棺的研究表明，該金字塔應該是第五王朝時期的金字塔。而第五王朝國王中唯一不見其金字塔的是一位名叫門卡霍爾的國王。
Menkauhor was a relatively obscure king and was the last pharaoh to build a sun temple called Akhet-Re. Hawass added that the pyramid had been recorded in the last century by Egyptologist Karl Richard Lepsius, Lepsius was a German Egyptologist and a founder of modern scientific Egyptology.
門卡霍爾是一位較不知名的國王，他是最后一位修建一座名為“Akhet-Re”太陽神廟的法老。哈瓦斯繼續說道，埃及學家卡爾·理查德·萊普修斯在上個世紀就記載了該金字塔，萊普修斯是德國埃及學家兼現代科學埃及學的創始人。
