關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.
在古埃及藝術中，法老畫像通常是通過精挑細琢的，法老個個身材健美挺拔，但事實并非如此。埃及人愛喝的啤酒、葡萄酒，愛吃的面包、蜂蜜大都是高糖分的，研究表明，這些食物的過度飲食是古埃及人身圓體胖的一大幫手。

Examinations of mummies have indicated that many Egyptian rulers were unhealthy and overweight, and even suffered from diabetes.
通過對埃及人木乃伊的檢測發現，大部分埃及上層人士的身體健康狀況并不樂觀，并且體重超標，甚至有些還患有糖尿病。

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.
哈特謝普蘇特王后（Queen Hatshepsut）就是一個典型的例子。她生活在公元前15世紀，可謂是埃及一個傳奇人物。她石棺上的畫像身材苗條，看上去體格健康，但歷史學家們認為，她實際上是個禿頂的胖女人。
