Recently, a significant discovery was made in Tanis, a major archaeological site in the northeastern Nile Delta of Egypt. In 2025, a team of French researchers unearthed 225 royal ushabti figurines. The discovery was both unexpected and historically important for the ancient capital.
The figurines were found in layers of silt beside a granite sarcophagus that had previously been discovered without a confirmed owner at the time. Later evidence strongly suggests that the sarcophagus may have belonged to King Shoshenq III. He was one of the most prominent rulers of Egypt’s 22nd Dynasty and was known for his major building projects.
近期，在埃及尼羅河三角洲東北部的重要考古遺址塔尼斯出土了一項重大發現。2025 年，一支法國研究團隊挖掘出兩百二十五尊皇家巫沙布提俑。這項發現對這座古都而言既出乎意料又具有重要的歷史意義。
這些小雕像出土於一座花崗岩石棺旁的泥層中，該石棺先前被發現時，其主人的身份在當時尚未確認。後來的證據強烈表明，該石棺可能屬於舍順克三世。他是埃及第二十二王朝最著名的統治者之一，以其宏偉的建築工程而聞名。
