（单词翻译）

　　And then, other strange anomalies began turning up. Puzzling finds fromother places suggesting Piramesse might lie elsewhere. Show me.
He says it was dug up about 30 kilometres from here. He claimes it's fromPiramesse.
Well, cartouche is certainly that of Ramesses the second, but, how cananyone seriously compare a mortar1 with what we have here, Well, if it'sproof of Piramesse he's after he's standing2 in it. It's written in almostevery stone around us. We have a temple of Amon the size of Karn and moreobelisks than any other site in Egypt. We've only just scratched thesurface. Now, Come on. Now back to work, back to work, back to work.
Montet spent the rest of his career convinced he had found at Tanis thegreat lost capital of Piramesse . And the truth is he had. These are theancient monuments and buildings of Ramesses' magnificent city, but there wasa bizarre twist to his discovery, because this is not where Ramesses builtthem.
Montet had unwittingly stumbled upon a baffling mystery, one that would takescience another 60 years to unravel3.
Pierre Montet died in 1966, that same year, an Austrian archeologist ManfredBietak set off on a journey of investigation4 that would turn Montet'sdiscoveries on their head.
In doing so, he would finally solve the strange puzzle surrounding Ramessesthe Great's vanished city.
What Bietak discovered is so strange that it appears to defy the laws oflogic.
These are the monuments of Piramesse, however they are found in the wrongplace.
What's more, he has absolute proof of it.
