New evidence of a sick, deprived population working under harsh conditions contradicts earlier images of wealth and abundance from the art records of the ancient Egyptian city of Tell el-Amarna, a study has found.
Tell el-Amarna was the capital of ancient Egypt during the reign of the pharaoh(法老)Akhenaten, who abandoned most of Egypt’s old gods in favor of the Aten sun disk and brought in a new and more expressive style of art. Akhenaten, who ruled Egypt between 1379 and 1362 BC, built and lived in Tell el-Amarna in central Egypt for 15 years. The city was largely abandoned shortly after his death and the ascendance of the famous boy king Tutankhamun to the throne.
Studies on the remains of ordinary ancient Egyptians in a cemetery in Tell el-Amarna showed that many of them suffered from anemia(贫血症), fractured bones, stunted growth and high juvenile mortality rates, according to professors Barry Kemp and Jerome Rose, who led the research.
Rose, a professor of anthropology(人类学)in the University of Arkansas in the United States, said adults buried in the cemetery were probably brought there from other parts of Egypt. " This means that we have a period of deprivation in Egypt prior to the Amarna phase. So maybe things were not so good for the average Egyptian and maybe Akhenaten said we have to change to make things better," he said.
Kemp, director of the Amarna Project which seeks in part to increase public knowledge of Tell el-Amarna and surrounding region, said little attention has been given to the cemeteries of ordinary ancient Egyptians.
Rose displayed pictures showing spinal(脊柱)injuries among teenagers, probably because of accidents during construction work to build the city.
The study showed that anemia ran at 74 percent among children and teenagers, and at 44 percent among adults, Rose said. The average height of men was 159 cm(5 feet 2 inches)and 153 cm among women. " Adult heights are used as an indicator for overall standard of living," he said. " Short statures(身长)reflect a diet deficient in protein... People were not growing to their full potential. "
What is the findings of the study mentioned in the passage?
选项
A、The ancient Tell el-Amarna was famous for its art records.
B、The artistic exhibition of ancient Tell el-Amarna was trustworthy.
C、The art records of Tell el-Amarna showed ancient Egyptians’ real life.
D、Life was really tough for average Egyptians in ancient Tell el-Amarna.
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。定位句中的a sick,deprived population working under harsh conditions表明古埃及阿玛纳普通人的生活是非常艰辛的,故D)为答案。原文中虽讲到阿玛纳的艺术记录向人们展示了丰裕富足的画面,但没有提到阿玛纳是否以艺术作品而闻名,故排除A);由定位句可知,一项研究发现之前古埃及特拉一埃尔一阿玛纳(简称“阿玛纳”)的艺术记录向人们展示的丰裕富足的画面并不是古埃及人民的真实生活状况,因此也是不可信的,故排除B)和C)。
