Archaeologists hunt for long-lost tomb of Scottish king
考古学家寻找遗失已久的苏格兰国王冢
The tomb of a medieval king whose murder changed the course of Scottish history in a real-life "Game of Thrones" could be unearthed in a new hi-tech project launched Saturday.
一个中世纪国王的冢可能会因周六启动的一项新的高技术项目而被发现。在现实版的“权力的游戏”中，对他的谋杀改变了苏格兰历史的走向。
Archaeologists and virtual reality artists want to digitally recreate the court of King James I of Scotland in Perth, around 40 miles (64 kilometres) from Edinburgh, and try to find the king's tomb buried beneath the modern-day city.
考古学家和虚拟现实艺术家想要在数字上再造苏格兰国王詹姆斯一世在Persh的宫廷，其据Edinburgh约40英里（64公里），并试图找到埋葬在现今城市地下的国王冢。
They are also looking for the remains of his queen, Joan Beaufort, and of Margaret Tudor, sister of Henry VIII of England and wife of James IV of Scotland, who was also buried there a century later.
他们也在寻找他的王后Joan Beaufort的遗迹，及一个世纪后葬在那里的英格兰Henry VIII的姐姐、苏格兰James IV的妻子Margaret Tudor的遗迹。
The team has been inspired by the discovery of King Richard III of England beneath a car park in Leicester.
该团队受到了在Leicester一所停车场下发现的苏格兰国王Richard III的遗迹的鼓舞。
"It's like 'Game of Thrones' and 'Outlander' all rolled into one—except this story is real," said Paul Wilson, who is leading the digital visualisation project at Glasgow School of Art (GSA).
“这就像集‘权力的游戏’和‘古战场传奇’于一体--只是这个故事是真实的，”领导在Glasgow School of Art(GSA)的数字可视化的Paul Wilson说。
James I was assassinated on February 21, 1437, by supporters of a rival claimant to the throne, an act which historians say brought an end to his ambition to make Perth the capital of Scotland.
1437年2月21日，James I被王位竞争对手的支持者暗杀。据历史学家说，这一事件终结了他迁都Perth的雄心。
"That day changed Scotland forever," Wilson said.
“那一天永远改变了苏格兰，”Wilson说。
The king's mausoleum lay at the heart of a Carthusian priory called the Charterhouse, which was modelled on the Grande Chartreuse in the French Alps.
The team is planning archaeological digs over the next two years to map out the Charterhouse boundaries and recover artefacts, which will then be used to create a virtual reality tour.
王陵坐落在一家称为卡尔特修道院的卡尔特教团的小修道院。卡尔特修道院仿照法国阿尔卑斯山上的Grande Chartreuse建造。该团队正计划在接下来的两年中进行考古发掘，标记出卡尔特修道院的边界并修复文物，这些资料将在接下来被用于创作一个虚拟现实巡游。（2017-02-26）
