研究人員在挖掘18座新墓穴時，發現了24枚金舌護身符。
According to ancient beliefs, this ability was crucial for communicating with Osiris, the judge of the underworld, especially when reciting sacred formulas during the judgment of the soul.
根據古老的信仰，這種能力對於與冥界判官歐西里斯溝通至關重要，特別是在靈魂審判時誦讀神聖咒語的時候。
Gold was revered as the 'flesh of the gods' and represented immortality because it never corrodes.
黃金被尊為「神的肉身」，象徵著永生，因為它永遠不會腐蝕。
Beyond the golden tongues, the team also unearthed a granite sarcophagus, a protective Eye of Horus amulet, and various sculptures.
除了金舌之外，考古團隊還出土了一具花崗岩石棺、一個荷魯斯之眼的保護性護身符，以及各種雕塑。
These findings, consistent with spells from the Book of the Dead, suggest that this ritual was a significant, widespread practice.
這些發現與《亡靈書》中的咒語一致，顯示這項儀式是一項重大且普遍的習俗。
While the exact selection process for these burials remains a mystery, the discovery provides a stunning window into how ancient Egyptians prepared for eternity, blending divine symbolism with their deep-rooted funerary traditions.
儘管選擇這些墓葬的確切過程仍是一個謎，但這一發現為我們提供了一個驚人的視窗，讓我們了解古埃及人如何結合神聖象徵與根深蒂固的喪葬傳統，為永恆做好準備。
