mảnh sọ (có lẽ là) của Beethoven được tìm thấy trong ngăn kéo ở California hàng thập kỷ sau...
-----
Bone fragments (mảnh vỡ) believed to be from 18th-century composer Ludwig van Beethoven have made their way back to Vienna after living in a locked drawer of a home in Carmichael for the past 30 years.
Paul Kaufmann's remarkable journey (cuộc hành trình ấn tượng) in taking possession of the curios began in 1990 following the death of his mother.
She lived in a town in the south of France.
After travelling there and going through her belongings (đồ dùng), he would find a key – and that key would not only open a safety deposit box (két an toàn), but inside reveal (cho thấy) a second box full of mysteries (bí ẩn).
"A black tin container (hộp chứa), actually, with a lid and scratched on the surface … was the name Beethoven," Kaufmann said.
Inside, wrapped in tissue, were fragments of a skull (đầu lâu) thought to belong to one of the greatest composers (nhà sản xuất) the world has ever known.
"Surprise and wonderment. What is this all about?" Kaufmann said.
For the next 30 years, Kaufmann tried to answer that question.
He travelled back to the States with the skull in his suitcase and began researching, finding help from top scholars (người có học thức) in San Francisco and San Jose.
Researchers would find a connection to Kaufmann's great-great uncle, a Viennese physician named Dr. Franz Romeo Seligmann who was also a medical historian and anthropologist (nhà nhân loại học).
Dr. Seligmann apparently received the bone fragments in 1863 after Beethoven's body was exhumed for research in part to learn what made the composer go deaf in one ear (điếc một tai).
But technology of the time was limited and research went cold.
"And it was then handed down, all these 170 years, to me as the only survivor in the family," Kaufmann said.
