How did the archaeologists know that the statue was a goddess?
tynisha keliSome time ago, an interesting discovery was made by archaeologists on the Aegean island of Kea. An American team explored a temple which stands in an ancient city on the promontory of Ayia Irini. The city at one time must have been prosperous, for it enjoyed a high level of civilization. Hous, often three storeys high, were built of stone. They had large rooms with beautifully decorated walls. The city was even equipped with a drainage system, for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets.
The temple which the archaeologists explored was ud as a place of worship from the 15th century B.C. until Roman times. In the most sacred room of the temple, clay fragments of 15 statues were foun
d. Each of the reprented a goddess and had, at one time, been painted.
The body of one statue was found among remains dating from the 15th century B.C. Its missing head happened to be among remains of the 5th century B.C. This head must have been found in Classical times and carefully prerved. It was very old and precious even then. When the archaeologists reconstructed the fragments, they were amazed to find that the goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking woman. She stood three feet high and her hands rested on her hips.
She was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground. Despite her great age, she was very graceful indeed, but, so far, the archaeologists have been unable to discover her identity.

不久之前，在爱琴海的基亚岛上，考古⼯作者有⼀项有趣的发现。⼀个美国考古队在阿伊亚.依⾥尼海⾓的⼀座古城⾥考察了⼀座庙宇。这座古城肯定⼀度很繁荣，因为它曾享有⾼度的⽂明，房⼦⼀般有3层楼⾼，⽤⽯块修建。⾥⾯房间很⼤，墙壁装饰华丽。城⾥甚⾄还敷设了排⽔系统，因为在狭窄的街道底下发现了许许多多陶⼟制作的排⽔管道。
考古⼯作者考察的这座庙宇从公元前15世纪直到罗马时代⼀直是祭祀祈祷的场所。在庙中最神圣的⼀间殿堂⾥发现了15尊陶雕像的碎⽚。每⼀尊雕像代表⼀位⼥神，⽽且⼀度上过⾊。其中有⼀尊雕像，她的躯体是在公元前15世纪的历史⽂物中发现的，⽽她那⾝异处的脑袋却碰巧是在公元前5世纪的⽂物中找到的。她的脑袋⼀定是在古希腊罗马时代就为⼈所发现，并受到精⼼的保护。却使在当时，它也属历史悠久的珍奇之物。考古⼯作者把这些碎⽚重新拼装起来后，惊奇地发现那位⼥神原来是⼀位相貌⼗分摩登的⼥郎。
她⾝⾼3英尺，双⼿叉腰。⾝穿⼀条拖地长裙，尽管上了年纪，但体态确实优美。不过，考古⼯作者⾄今未能确定这位⼥神的⾝份。bless什么意思
