比巨石阵还要古老2500年的神秘“石柱”

Archaeologists are finally teaming up to solve the mystery surrounding a prehistoric megalith site in Armenia known as the “Armenian Stonehenge”.

考古学家们终于联手解开了围绕亚美尼亚史前巨石遗址的谜团，该巨石遗址被称为“亚美尼亚巨石阵”。

Bnorran Historic-Cultural NGO and the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography will be working together despite their differences of opinion on how the 5500BC structure was built and what it was used for.

布诺兰历史文化非政府组织、考古和人文研究所将共同合作，尽管他们对5500BC结构的建造方式和用途有不同意见。

The two institutions think the site was either used as an astronomical observatory or a burial monument.

这两家机构认为，该遗址要么用作天文台，要么用作墓地。

It consists of over 200 stones and 80 of them have mysterious holes drilled into them.

它由200多块石头组成，其中80块石头上钻有神秘的洞。

According to the Armen Press, archaeological expedition team leader Ashot Piliposyan said: “It requires studies in all aspects.”

据Armen出版社报道，考古探险队队长Ashot Piliposyan说：“这需要全方位的研究。”

“We discussed many issues during the signing of the agreement, we even considered that maybe in the future it will be possible to build a museum near the monument to display all materials regarding the ancient site.”

“我们在签署协议的过程中讨论了很多问题，我们甚至认为，未来可能会在纪念碑附近建造一座博物馆，展示所有与古迹有关的材料。”

There is no evidence of astronomical tools at the site but some archaeologists think that the stones are meant to mirror a bright star called Deneb.

目前还没有证据表明该遗址有天文工具，但一些考古学家认为，这些石头是为了反映一颗名为天津四(位于天鹅座)的明亮恒星。

Both institutions which have just signed the agreement will now suspend any current investigations at Carahunge.

两个刚刚签署协议的机构，现在都将暂停目前在该地区的所有调查。

A joint seminar that will involve lots of experts including astronomers, archaeoastronomers, archaeologists and ethnographers will soon take place so a new research plan can be put in place.

一个由天文学家、考古天文学家、考古学家和人种学家等众多专家组成的联合研讨会将很快举行，以便制定一个新的研究计划。
