关于埃及的神秘文化你不知道的10件事

5. Egyptian pharaohs were often overweight.
古埃及法老大都是胖子

Egyptian art commonly depicts pharaohs as being trim and statuesque, but this was most likely not the case. The Egyptian diet of beer, wine, bread and honey was high in sugar, and studies show that it may have done a number on royal waistlines.
在古埃及艺术中，法老画像通常是通过精挑细琢的，法老个个身材健美挺拔，但事实并非如此。埃及人爱喝的啤酒、葡萄酒，爱吃的面包、蜂蜜大都是高糖分的，研究表明，这些食物的过度饮食是古埃及人身圆体胖的一大帮手。

Examinations of mummies have indicated that many Egyptian rulers were unhealthy and overweight, and even suffered from diabetes.
通过对埃及人木乃伊的检测发现，大部分埃及上层人士的身体健康状况并不乐观，并且体重超标，甚至有些还患有糖尿病。

A notable example is the legendary Queen Hatshepsut, who lived in the 15th century B.C. While her sarcophagus depicts her as slender and athletic, historians believe she was actually obese and balding.
哈特谢普苏特王后（Queen Hatshepsut）就是一个典型的例子。她生活在公元前15世纪，可谓是埃及一个传奇人物。她石棺上的画像身材苗条，看上去体格健康，但历史学家们认为，她实际上是个秃顶的胖女人。
