“可能是今年最大的發(fā)現(xiàn)”:在維羅納發(fā)現(xiàn)的古羅馬鑲嵌畫地板

When it seems like everything’s down and 2020 hasn’t got much to offer in the good news department, fortune is suddenly back on our side. The past twenty-four hours have brought our times an ancient treasure which is said to be one of the biggest archaeological discoveries of the year.

Italian archaeologists have discovered a breathtaking Roman mosaic floor in the Valpolicella region in the Verona province of Italy. Hidden just underneath a vineyard, “the mosaics dating back to the first century after Christ were found in excellent condition,” reported the local news source. The historian Myko Clelland helped to spread the breaking news on social media with his now-viral tweet just 14 hours ago. The post has now got a whopping 266K likes and 58K retweets—and counting!

意大利考古學(xué)家在意大利維羅納省的瓦爾波利塞拉地區(qū)發(fā)現(xiàn)了令人驚嘆的羅馬鑲嵌畫地板。據(jù)當(dāng)?shù)匦侣剚?lái)源報(bào)道，這些鑲嵌物就藏在葡萄園的下面，“這些鑲嵌物可以追溯到基督誕生后的第一個(gè)世紀(jì)，保存非常完好。”14個(gè)小時(shí)前，歷史學(xué)家Myko Clelland在社交媒體上發(fā)布了這條爆炸性的推特。這條微博現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)獲得了266K個(gè)贊和58K條轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)——而且還在不斷增加!

So let’s take a look at this beautiful piece of history below which has scored humanity some solid karma points in a tiring battle against the bad news.

所以，讓我們來(lái)看看這段美麗的歷史，它為人類在與壞消息進(jìn)行的令人疲憊的戰(zhàn)斗中贏得了一些實(shí)實(shí)在在的勝利。

Historian Myko Clelland shared the news about the mind-blowing discovery and it went viral on Twitter

歷史學(xué)家Myko Clelland分享了這一驚人發(fā)現(xiàn)的新聞，并在推特上瘋傳

Bored Panda contacted Myko Clelland, the historian who shared the news on Twitter, to ask him about the importance of this mosaic. Although discoveries like this occur more often than you might imagine, Myko said that “it’s rare to find something in such good condition and so complete.” “Usually,” he continued, “man and nature have taken their course and parts may be missing or damaged.”

Bored Panda聯(lián)系了在Twitter上分享這一消息的歷史學(xué)家Myko Clelland，詢問(wèn)他這幅鑲嵌畫的重要性。盡管像這樣的發(fā)現(xiàn)比你想象的要多，但是Myko說(shuō):“很少有發(fā)現(xiàn)像這樣完好無(wú)缺的。”“通常情況下，”他繼續(xù)說(shuō)，“人類和自然各走各的路，某些部分可能會(huì)丟失或損壞。”

The uncovering of the mosaic work was done by the Soprintendenza di Verona, an organization “who have been tirelessly working to showcase some of the most tantalizing remnants of the ancient past in the area.” Myko said that he’s got a family in Verona “who showed me what they were working on and how magnificent what they have discovered is, and I just had to share it with the world—they deserve all the credit.”

發(fā)現(xiàn)鑲嵌畫的工作是由Soprintendenza di Verona完成的，該組織“一直在不知疲倦地工作，以展示該地區(qū)一些最誘人的古代遺跡”。Myko說(shuō)，他在維羅納有一個(gè)家庭，“他們向我展示了他們正在做的工作，以及他們的發(fā)現(xiàn)是多么的偉大，我不得不與全世界分享，他們應(yīng)該得到所有的榮譽(yù)。”
