丢失在储藏室里的亚历山大雕塑

An ancient sculpture of Alexander the Great was recently discovered inside the storage room of a Greek museum.

最近在希腊博物馆的储藏室里发现了一尊亚历山大大帝的古代雕塑。

The surprising find was made by Angeliki Kottaridi, a leading archaeologist and announced in a Facebook post.

这一惊人的发现是由著名考古学家安吉丽基·科塔里迪(Angeliki Kottaridi)在Facebook上宣布的。

“A ‘brand new’ Portrait of Alexander, still unknown to archaeologists and art lovers… For decades lost in a dark corner of the warehouse of the archaeological museum of Veria between crates with ceramic, half under old mortars and pollutants,” Kottaridi wrote in her Facebook post.

“一幅亚历山大的‘全新’肖像，考古学家和艺术爱好者还不知道……几十年来，这尊肖像消失在维里亚考古博物馆仓库的一个黑暗角落里，夹在装有陶瓷的板条箱之间，一半埋在旧的迫击炮和污物下面。”科塔里迪写道。

The sculpture, which was initially found decades ago underneath rubble near the Greek town of Veria, was rediscovered a few weeks ago as staffers were cleaning out a storage room.

这座雕像最初是几十年前在希腊维里亚镇附近的废墟下发现的，几周前在工作人员清理储藏室时被重新发现。

The newly rediscovered sculpture will also be featured in a major exhibition next year at the Aigai Museum.

新发现的雕塑也将于明年在艾盖伊博物馆的一个大型展览中展出。

The Greek king, who ruled over one of the largest empires in the world, is thought to be one of history’s most accomplished military commanders.
