一群瑞士考古学家最近在埃及的帝王谷偶然发现一个古墓，古墓的主人是3000年前古埃及的一名“歌星”。

For researchers in Egypt's Valley of the Kings, finding an untouched（未受影响的） tomb is an exciting prospect¹, but finding one that became the final resting place of an ancient superstar is downright amazing. Swiss archaeologists recently stumbled upon the pristine² remains³ of what they are calling the "Lady Gaga" of ancient Egypt: a singer for a revered⁴ deity⁵ who was buried some 3,000 years ago.

Her name was Nehmes Bastet and she served Amun-Ra, the deity（神性） often referred to as the "God of Gods." Amun-Ra was the Sun God of ancient Egypt, and therefore held the greatest importance of all the culture's icons⁶. Amon's status within Egyptian lore⁷（知识，学问） would have meant an official position as his performer carried a lot of weight.

It's unclear exactly what purpose she served as a singer, but she likely played a role in many of the large-scale events held in honor of Amun-Ra, which may have heightened her celebrity⁸. She is believe to be the daughter of the High Priest of Amon, making her the perfect candidate for such a duty — you might even say she was born this way.

Her tomb was reportedly adorned⁹ with wooden plaques¹⁰（斑块，瓷片） and her remains were "nicely wrapped." The tomb's location in the Valley of the Kings is particularly important because up until recently, most researchers believed that area was reserved for royalty¹¹. Her prehistoric¹² superstar status was apparently¹³ enough to grant her a final resting place among the most cherished individuals of the era.
