A team of researchers found a very old wine jar in the tomb of Queen Merneith, who is thought to be the first female pharaoh of Egypt. The jar is about 5,000 years old. It was discovered in Abydos, Egypt, by a group led by Dr. Christina Köhler. They found hundreds of jars, many of them still sealed and in good shape.

Even though the wine inside was no longer liquid, scientists found grape seeds and other small remains. These are now being studied. This jar might be the second oldest wine ever found in human history.

Queen Merneith’s tomb was built around 3000 BCE. It is surrounded by more than 40 other small tombs, likely for her helpers. This shows that she was a very important person in ancient Egypt. Dr. Köhler said that this discovery helps us learn more about Queen Merneith and life during her time.

“eventually” と “finally” は両方「最終的に」と訳されるが、意味に微妙に違う！
________________________________________
✅ Key Differences:
•”Eventually”（やがて・最終的に）→ 長い時間・プロセスを経て到達する結果
✅ “He eventually passed the exam after studying for a year.”
→ 「彼は1年間勉強して、最終的に試験に合格した。」

•”Finally”（ついに・ようやく）→ 順序の最後、または期待の末に起こることを強調
✅ “Finally, we arrived at the station.”
→ 「ついに私たちは駅に着いた。」

________________________________________
❌ Common Mistake:
❌ “Finally, he got a job after a long struggle.”（文脈によっては “eventually” の方が自然）
✅ “Eventually, he got a job after a long struggle.”

📝 日本語訳と学習アドバイス：
• eventually = やがて、最終的に（時間の経過重視）
• finally = 最後に、ついに（順序や感情の高まり）
🔍 学習ポイント：
論文やプレゼンで「最終的に」と言いたいとき、**「どんな過程か」「どう強調したいか」**で使い分けましょう。時間の流れには eventually、話の締めくくりには finally がぴったりです！
