Ancient Near East
古近東地區
It is believed that the history of the guitar began in the ancient Near East.
There, the archeologists found instruments and representations of them that
served as landmarks or guideposts in the relatively uncharted territory of
the guitar's beginning
..
通常認為吉他歷史的起源地是來自古近東地區
(通常指地中海東部沿岸地區。包括非洲東北部和亞洲西南部，有時還包括巴爾幹半島。)
在那裡, 考古學家發現相關的工具與技術, 不過這些發現並未納於目前的吉他起源之中.
Among the artifacts excavated from Babylonia, the most relevant were the clay
plaques dated (1900-1800 B.C.). These showed nude figures playing
musical instruments, some of which bear a general resemblance to the guitar.
Close examination of the instrument on the plaque shows it to have a
distinctly differentiated body and neck.
Its back is undoubtedly flat; the manner in which it
rests against the priest's chest precludes the possibility of
its being bowl-shaped. It is clear that the right hand pluck the strings.
The number of strings is unfortunately not clear but on another plaque,
at least two strings are shown on the instrument.
Evidence of guitar-like instruments has been noted in
Assyria, Susa (an ancient city north of the Persian Gulf capital of the
Persian Empire), and Luristan.
在發現的巴比倫時代的工藝品之中, 陶瓷工藝板上的繪畫最為相關. 這些繪畫顯示了
以手指彈奏樂器的狀況, 證實了吉他相關的歷史起源.(西元前1900到1800年)
進一步檢驗板畫上的樂器, 顯示出他有著琴身與琴頸. 琴背十分平坦,
可以貼在演奏者的胸部, 而不因為其圓弧的設計而滑開.
也清楚可見畫中人物以右手彈奏琴弦. 不過琴弦數不甚清楚, 在另一塊版畫上,
顯示至少有兩根琴弦.
關於類似吉他樂器的證據, 在亞述, 蘇沙(古城市, 在波斯首都北方), 以及洛雷斯坦
皆有發現.
