台灣護照排名全球第 33 強
Taiwan's Passport is the 33rd Strongest in the World
Passports are the most important travel documents (旅行證件).
Some passports allow travelers to enter many places without needing a visa
(簽證).
And others need extra steps, like applying for permission (申請許可) before a
trip.
Every year, experts rank (排名) passports based on how many countries their
holders can visit without a visa.
The stronger the passport, the more travel freedom it provides.
And Taiwan's passport has been ranked the 33rd strongest in the world!
The Henley Passport Index, which compares 199 passports from around the
world, gave Taiwan a score of 141.
This means that Taiwan passport holders can visit 141 countries without
needing a visa before they travel.
英國這家顧問公司將台灣的護照評為 141 分，代表台灣護照持有者可以免簽進入 141
個國家。
The world's most powerful passport belongs to Singapore, with a score of 195.
Japan is in second place with 193, while six countries-including France,
Germany, and South Korea-tied for third place with 192.
Taiwan has moved up one spot from last year and stays ahead of neighbors
China and the Philippines, which ranked 60th and 75th.
台灣的排名比去年上升了一名，並且仍然領先中國（第 60 名）和菲律賓（第 75 名）。
The United States has dropped (下降) to ninth place, partly because of
changes in its travel policies (旅遊政策).
Meanwhile, the weakest (最弱的) passport in the world is Afghanistan, ranked
106th.
Other countries with low rankings include Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.
Taiwan's passport might not be the strongest, but it's getting better.
Where would you like to travel with it?

發現四千年前 埃及法老的醫生墳墓
Ancient Egyptian Doctor's Tomb Discovered in Saqqara
Ancient Egypt is famous for its incredible tombs (陵墓), especially those of
the pharaohs (法老王).
They give us a look into the lives of Egypt's rulers and their journey to the
afterlife (來世).
But pharaohs weren't the only ones with grand tombs.
Important people, like priests, officials, and doctors, were also buried in
beautifully decorated resting places.
These tombs hold clues about their lives, jobs, and beliefs.
祭司、官員、醫生
等重要人物也被安葬在精美的陵墓中，這些墓穴記錄了他們的生活、職業和信仰。
A recent discovery in Egypt has revealed the tomb of a doctor who treated
pharaohs over 4,000 years ago.
His name was Teti Neb Fu.
The tomb, discovered in Saqqara, south of Cairo, is very well preserved
(保存得非常完好).
Inscriptions on the walls reveal that Teti Neb Fu had many important titles.
墓室的壁畫和雕刻顯示，Teti Neb Fu擁有許多重要的頭銜。
He was not only the chief doctor of the palace but also a priest (祭司) and
magician (魔法師) for the goddess Serket (女神瑟凱特).
In ancient Egypt, Serket was known for protecting people from scorpion stings
and venomous bites.
在古埃及，瑟凱特是一位保護人們不要受到毒蠍子攻擊的神明。
Experts believe Teti Neb Fu may have been a specialist in treating dangerous
bites (專門治療 蠍子和毒蛇的咬傷).
The doctor was buried in a mastaba, a flat-roofed tomb often built for
important Egyptians (一種古埃及貴族常用的扁平頂墓穴).
Even though the tomb was looted (被盜墓) long ago, beautiful carvings and
paintings remain.
These decorations helped archaeologists (考古學家) learn more about this
mysterious doctor.
One of the most surprising discoveries was another title (頭銜) found on his
stone coffin, or sarcophagus (石棺).
Besides being a doctor, priest, and magician, he was also the chief dentist
(牙醫) and director of medicinal plants (藥草專家)!
His knowledge of medicine, plants, and healing made him an important figure
in the royal court.
The discovery of Teti Neb Fu's tomb adds to our understanding of ancient
Egyptian doctors and their incredible skills.

趣味小點
Tasty Tidbit
Did you know that the world's oldest cake is over 4,000 years old?
This Egyptian cake was made during the time of Pharaoh Pepi II and was found
in a tomb in 1913!
The cake had two flatbreads with honey and milk inside, baked in a special
copper mold.
When the mold was heated and placed on wet dough, air bubbles formed.
As the cake cooled, the air left, creating a vacuum that kept it fresh for a
long time!
Egyptians believed bread gave new life, so this cake was an offering for the
dead in the afterlife!
