But beyond those two certainties,
除了这两点可以确信外
we know very little about this woman
关于她与和她同葬一处的另外一位女性
or about the other woman she was buried alongside.
其他方面的事情我们知之甚少
The remains of a high-status woman is another reminder
这位尊贵的女士给我们一个提醒
that the Vikings weren't all about warrior men.
维京人不光只有男性的武士
And analysis of the second woman makes things even more complicated.
而对第二位女性进行研究 却让事情变得更加复杂…
While there's every reason to believe the older woman
我们能确信年长的女性…
was Scandinavian born and bred,
完全是斯堪的纳维亚血统
analysis of DNA taken from the younger woman's skeleton
而从这位年轻骨骼中提取的DNA却显示
at least allows for the possibility
很有可能…
that she was from as far away as the Middle East.
她是来自遥远的中东地区
So that by as early as the end of the 8th century
因而最早在八世纪后半页时
the Vikings were doing much more than just cause trouble for their neighbours,
维京人制♥造♥麻烦已经不仅仅局限在其临近地区了
like the people in the British Isles.
比如不列颠诸岛
They had contacts into the East, into Eastern Europe.
他们已经到达了东方…东欧地区
I started out on the Atlantic coast wanting
我的旅程始于大西洋岸边...
to discover how the Vikings came to be.
我想要揭开维京是如何形成的
But even the possibility that that younger Oseberg woman came from so far away
而奥斯贝格女尸可能来自远方…即便只是可能性
is the beginning of a whole new story.
又将是另一段故事的开始
After thousands of years, of the Age of Vikings had begun.
几千年之后…维京时代拉开了序幕
No borders or boundaries could contain them,
边境线无法限制维京人纵横驰骋
and the oceans and rivers gave them unlimited access
海洋和河流使得他们能够造访任何地区
throughout the known world and beyond.
无论是已知世界或未知领域
Next time, the Vikings go East...
下一集中，维京人将前往东方…
..building a vast trade network of luxuries.
…建立巨大的奢侈品贸易网
Silk was so valuable,
丝绸价值连城…
it made the perilous river journeys to get here more than worthwhile.
即使要经过艰险的旅程还是有利可图
And slaves.
还有奴隶...
These are slave collars.
这是给奴隶戴的项圈
And you can imagine the humiliation of having something
你能想象在脖子上戴上这种东西
like this placed around your neck.
有多耻辱吗
And beginning a process of colonisation that was the beginning of a Viking Empire.
殖民过程的开始就是维京帝国的开始
By marrying the locals, their blood mixed with our blood.
通过和当地人通婚血统彼此混合在一起
And they're still here with us today.
他们至今还与我们在一起
