The mystery of the world's top ten treasures

In Australia, there is an island called Lockhart, which is not a beautiful holiday resort with flowers and birds. However, "although the island is not beautiful, it is famous for its treasures." According to legend, there are countless treasures hidden on the island, and the surrounding seabed is also covered with dazzling gems.

/kloc-in the 1970s, a man named William Fibos came across a map of Guanluohaode Island, which marked the sinking place of the Spanish merchant ship "Gold". He was ecstatic and felt that he had a chance to make a fortune. It turns out that the merchant ship "Gold" has a mysterious story, that is,1In the 1950s and 1970s, the Spanish explored America along Columbus' route, plundered countless gold, silver and jewels from the Indians, and then returned home with full cabins. However, their actions were discovered by pirates. As a result, pirates madly attacked every merchant ship passing by, killing the crew and taking away a lot of treasures. As a mountain of heavy treasure, the pirates could not take it all away, so they buried the rest in the island of Lohood and drew a treasure map. The pirates swore a blood oath to keep a secret so that they could enjoy this ill-gotten wealth forever. I don't know that pirates are pirates after all, and there is no credit. Some conspirators tried to keep the treasure for themselves, and for a time, bloody fragments were scattered all over the floor, and a fire broke out, leaving a body. The winner traveled around the world with the treasure map and lived a luxurious life. The legend of the hidden Golden Island spread like wildfire and swept the world. Phipps boarded a desert island with this treasure map and surveyed everywhere, but found nothing. Just as he was wandering on the beach, he accidentally sank his foot into the sand and touched a foreign body. After excavation, there are clusters of exquisite corals. Inside the corals, there is a delicate wooden box filled with gold coins, silver coins and rare treasures. Phipps was ecstatic. He stayed on the island for three months, frantically searching, and loaded his schooner with 30 tons of gold, silver and jewels. He realized his dream of getting rich.

The news of Phipps' windfall spread like a hurricane, and a gold rush swept the island of Lohood and its nearby waters. Tramps, adventurers and even nobles came to this desert island not far from Wan Li. People think that the treasure discovered by Phipps is only a tiny part of the pirate's heritage, so where are more treasures? For a time, many true and false "treasure maps" came into being, flooding Europe and selling at high prices. Many rich people spent a lot of money on it. What happened? Many people died at the bottom of the sea, or suddenly died on a desert island, or searched hard and disappeared for a long time. The pirate's legacy has become a mystery full of temptation.

The treasure of the underground tomb

In recent years, the Peruvian government has announced that it will strictly protect the underground king's mausoleum in the ruins of the capital of the ancient Inca kingdom of Chiyin, and people will not be allowed to destroy it at will. Under strict defense, two experienced Peruvian archaeologists will spend several years digging here. What are they looking for?

/kloc-In the second half of the 6th century, a Spanish businessman named Gutenitz explored here. Led by an Indian tribal leader, he passed through the intricate underground maze and came to the tomb of the underground king. In an instant, the young businessman was overwhelmed by these golden jewels, which were filled with rare jewels, including some emerald-eyed fish cast in gold. The Indian leader told him calmly. There is no doubt that this is a golden opportunity. Gutenitz nodded in despair, so he got his wish and returned to Spain as a very rich man.

As for how much gold Gutenberg fished, it may never be known, but according to the Spanish tax records of 1576, Gutenberg not only tipped off the king about this "small fish" treasure, but also generously donated 900 pounds of gold as tax, which shows how much wealth he got. However, countless treasure hunters after him have no such luck, but someone always provides exciting clues: under the local ruins, there is a "big fish" treasure, which is full of more gold objects buried with him.

The truth of this statement casts a mysterious fog on the mausoleum, and it is up to two Peruvian archaeologists to uncover this fog.

The Secret Buried in Treasure Island

Treasure Island, a famous novel by Scottish writer Stevenson, tells a well-known adventure story, mainly about a thrilling struggle between pirates and captains for the treasure of a desert island. At the end, the author suggests that there are still a lot of treasures hidden somewhere on the desert island.

Treasure Island is written in the background of Cocoa Island in the Pacific Ocean, which is located 300 miles off the coast of Costa Rica. This was once a rest stop for pirates in the17th century. The pirates loaded and unloaded the looted treasures here and buried them, adding mystery to this nameless island. It is said that there are at least six treasures buried on the island, among which the treasure in Lima, Peru is the most attractive one.

1820, Lima was still a Spanish colony. When the revolutionary army led by the Peruvian national hero Bolí var, known as the "liberator", was about to attack Lima, the Spanish governor of Lima fled hastily. He put the treasure he had been looking for for for many years, including the gold candlestick, the gold plate and the life-size gold statue of the Virgin Mary, on a sailboat named "Dear Maria" and then ran away. Unexpectedly, at the seaside, the captain made a fortune and killed the Spanish governor. To be on the safe side, the captain put the treasure in a mysterious cave on Cocoa Island. In the later days, he never found a suitable opportunity to go back to Cocoa Island and take the treasure. Until 1844, the captain died, leaving a treasure map that was difficult to distinguish between true and false.

This picture is mixed with various treasure maps that have been circulated later, tempting many people to go to Cocoa Island and try to find the treasure of the basket. Perhaps too mysterious, too false, perhaps too secretive, these legendary treasures are still hidden in the sun and still fascinating.

1978, an unexpected event shocked all treasure hunters. The Costa Rican government closed Cocoa Island on the grounds of protecting the ecological environment, and no one was allowed to dig it. But what new secrets are hidden in it? Will the treasure of Treasure Island be buried forever?

San Jose shipwreck treasure

1May 28th, 708, it was a sunny day. A Spanish galleon "San Jose" slowly set sail from Panama and headed for Spanish territorial waters. The heavily guarded ship was loaded with gold bars, silver bars, gold coins, golden lampstands and jewels for altar supplies. It is estimated that this wealth is worth at least $65,438 billion. At that time, Spain was hostile to Britain, the Netherlands and other countries. The famous British navy general Weger was leading a powerful fleet to patrol nearby, and danger occurred from time to time. However, the captain of the San Jose, Federz, completely ignored it. On the one hand, he was eager to return to China, on the other hand, he was too superstitious about accidental luck and naively thought: how vast the sea is, can he accidentally meet enemy ships?

The sailboat "San Jose" sailed safely for several days, and the captain seemed relaxed and confident. Until June 8, when people were horrified to find that the British fleet was lined up in the sea ahead, everyone was blindsided. Suddenly, the gunfire was dense and the water column was soaring. Several shells landed on the deck of the San Jose, and the sea gradually swallowed up the huge hull. "San Jose" with more than 600 crew members and countless others. The location of the sinking has been determined by countless treasure hunters, and finally a rough result has been obtained: it is about 740 feet deep in the Caribbean about 16 miles from the Colombian coast.

As the saying goes, "the moon is the best near the water." 1983, Colombian minister Silvia solemnly declared that the "San Jose" is the national property of Colombia and does not belong to those insatiable treasure hunters. It is estimated that the Colombian government has surveyed the location of the sunken ship. Although the salvage cost is as high as $30 million, it is nothing compared with this treasure. This year, salvage may begin. The result is still unknown.

The golden fleet sleeping at the bottom of the sea

The sinking of the San Jose is not a precedent for the Spanish. As early as 1702, the famous "golden fleet" in Spanish history was sunk by the British in Vigo Bay in the Atlantic Ocean, thus leaving a big legacy in the history of treasure exploration. At that time, Spain was in financial distress, and a huge fleet of 17 galleons rushed back to Spain with gold, silver and jewels plundered from South America, passing through the most dangerous sea areas. One day in June, just as the "Golden Fleet" was sailing for the Azores, suddenly a joint British-Dutch fleet blocked the way. This fleet of 150 warships forced the "Golden Fleet" to sail for Vigo Bay to avoid being surrounded by powerful enemies. The only and best way is to unload the treasure from the ship and transport it to Madrid, the capital of Spain, by land, but the authorities have a strange rule: everything shipped from South America must go to Seville for inspection first. Obviously, it is impossible to unload the treasure from the ship illegally. Fortunately, under the special order of Queen Mary Desava, the gold, silver and jewels of the king and queen were unloaded and transported to Madrid by land.

After being besieged for a month, about 30,000 British and Dutch troops stormed Vigo Bay under the command of General Luke. The bombardment of 365,438+065,438+05 heavy artillery destroyed the battery and barrier, and the Spanish defenders collapsed across the board. As the allied forces were excited by the countless treasures in front of them, the battle progressed rapidly and the harbor quickly fell into hiding. At this time, Belasco, commander-in-chief of the "Golden Fleet", was desperate. He ordered.

How much is this treasure? According to the captured Spanish Admiral Chacon, it is estimated that about 4,000-5,000 gold and jewels of horse-drawn carriages sank to the bottom of the sea. Although the British ventured into the sea many times, they only caught a few trophies. Therefore, these treasures strongly attract countless treasure hunters. Since then, groups of adventurers have appeared on the seabed near 1000 nautical mile. Some of them found empty sunken ships, some got pure emeralds, amethysts, pearls, black amber and other jewels, and some continued to search with modern technology and tools. With the passage of time, storms and tides have covered the treasure with thick sediments, and many rumors have added a bit of mystery to the treasure, which undoubtedly brought too much trouble to the exploration.

Unfortunately, some treasures transported by land to Madrid were robbed by robbers on the way. It is said that this part of gold, about 1500 wagons, is still buried in a little-known place in the mountainous area of Ponte Vidra, Spain, apparently attracting people who dream of getting rich like a huge magnet. Since the famous explorer Columbus crossed the ocean four times in 1492, the exciting adventure of treasure hunting has become a fashion. The discovery of the sunken Titanic, priceless jewels and gold and silver are like hot air, which set off an unprecedented treasure hunt. In today's world, there are at least 65,438+00 treasures that a treasure hunter has spent a long time looking for and can't get. They are mysteriously hiding aside, waiting for the lucky people to discover and discover.

Huang Jincheng in the Amazon jungle

In ancient times, South America had an Inca empire centered on Peru, which was very powerful. All the palaces and temples in the capital are richly decorated with gold and silver. /kloc-At the beginning of the 6th century, the Spanish overthrew the Inca Empire and plundered all the gold and precious stones. Spanish commander Pizarro heard that all the gold of the Inca Empire was shipped from Manoa, ruled by a chief named Patty, where there were mountains of gold and silver treasures. Pizarro immediately organized an expedition to Huang Jincheng, deep in the Amazon forest. However, in this vast virgin forest, every step forward means fear and death. There are wild animals and poisonous snakes, savage cannibal tribes, lost and threatened, and the expedition is either disappointed or unaccounted for, which makes Pizarro can only comfort himself with imagination. Later, the Spanish, Portuguese, British, Dutch and Germans got the news of Huang Jincheng. Everyone wanted their money, so they flocked to the Amazon jungle. Among them, a Spaniard named Cesada led about 765,438+06 expedition members to Huang Jincheng. After paying a heavy price of 550 lives, he finally found Huang Jincheng and the legendary Golden Lake in Continamarga Plain, and found jadeite gems worth $3 million. However, this is only a small part of Huang Jincheng's priceless treasure.

The legendary Golden Lake is Gua Davida Lake. /kloc-At the beginning of the 7th century, the nephew of the last king in India described the traditional coronation ceremony held in Jinhu: at that time, the heir to the throne was covered with gold powder and then swam in the lake to wash it off. His subjects offered gold and jade at his feet, and the new king threw all the gold into the lake as a dedication to God.

Since16th century, the salvage of Jinhu has never stopped. 1545, a treasure hunt team organized by the Spanish fished up hundreds of gold wares from the bottom of a shallow lake in three months. 19 1 1 year, a British company dug a tunnel and drained the lake, but the sun soon turned the thick mud into a hard mud board. When the British shipped drilling equipment from England again, the lake was filled again, and this expensive salvage failed.

1974, the Colombian government was worried that the treasures in the lake would fall into the wrong hands and dispatched troops to protect Jinhu. Since then, no one has been able to approach these treasures. Thus, the mysterious Golden Lake has become an unsolved mystery.

The eighth wonder of mysterious disappearance

In Arizona, USA, there is a mountain called Superstition Mountain, where there are overgrown weeds, rugged rocks, wild animals and fierce rattlesnakes everywhere. In an unknown place in the mountains, there is a "lost Dutch gold mine", which attracts fearless explorers.

1840 At the end of the year, an explorer named Beranta went deep into the mountainous area and finally found a gold mine rich in mineral resources after many hardships and dangers. He carefully marked it so that it could be used for life. Since then, many treasure hunters have been trying to find this gold mine, but many people were unfortunately buried in the wilderness, and some people were ambushed and killed by Indians on the way. There are many obstacles and fears on the way to the gold mine. Later, a German explorer Walter finally discovered this gold mine. He often stays in the mountains for two or three days, and then mysteriously sneaks back to his hometown, always taking several bags of high-quality gold mines with him every time. His two companions knew the location of the gold mine, but they were both mysteriously killed. Who is the murderer? I don't know, it will probably become a permanent secret like this gold mine.

189 1 year, Wordsworth died of pneumonia. Before he died, he drew a map indicating the location of this gold mine. 193 1 year, a man named Ruth got this unknown map through various channels, so he took the map and entered the mountainous area of superstitious mountain. However, he never came back. Six months later, someone found his head in the mountains, and he was shot twice in the head. It is conceivable that he must have been stunned by the terrible sight. Who is the murderer? 1959, three more explorers were killed in this mountain area. Who killed them? In any case, the murderer must be an insider of the gold mine. They tried to keep this secret. However, all this can't stop stubborn treasure hunters. Therefore, the figure of explorers, gunfire, blood, rattlesnakes and the roar of the wilderness constitute the horrible tone of the Arizona gold mine. The fog shrouded in superstitious mountains and mountainous areas makes people more confused and uneasy.

These ten unearthed treasures are part of the 10,000 known or unknown Qian Qian treasures in the world. They are clues to thrilling stories that have or have not been produced. Undoubtedly, they give people surprises, doubts, regrets and sadness.

California gold mine buried under the sea.

In A.D. 1849, a gold mine was discovered in California, USA, and then a gold rush was set off. Adventurers from the west and the east gather here to compete for an inch of land. After eight years of war and bloodshed, groups of people are ready to go home with the gold they earned with their blood and sweat, ending this cruel and dangerous day. A large group of gold prospectors, with their wives and children, traveled thousands of miles away and began another journey of fear. They sailed from San Francisco to Panama, then crossed the isthmus of Panama by mule train, and finally sailed for new york.

Two days after these people left Panama, that is, on September 1857, the steamboat America suffered an unexpected disaster. This small steamboat has more than 750 people, and the draft is too tight. In addition, it was hit by a hurricane. The storm broke the cabin and seawater leaked in. People found that the sails were blown off by the strong wind, the fire of the boiler went out, and the endless sea made this group of people feel desperate. They formed a self-rescue team, women and children were sent to lifeboats and all were rescued, but 423 gold prospectors were buried at the bottom of the sea with immeasurable gold. Survivors have been unable to determine the exact location of the sunken ship, and the whereabouts of these California gold treasures have become a mystery.

Spencer, a famous treasure-hunting expert, once found several ships that sank in the American Civil War and expressed great interest in the steamboat "China-America" carrying gold. At present, he has spent 15 years looking for the "Sino-American". He is convinced that he has found the exact place where the ship sank and hopes to salvage this batch of gold within two years.

Spencer seems to have brought a ray of light to solve the mystery of California's treasures.

Unpredictable treasure in the money pit

Mark Twain, a famous writer, described in The Adventures of Tom that all the pirates' treasures were packed in broken wooden boxes and buried under old dead trees. In the middle of the night, the place where the shadows of the branches of this tree fall is the treasure land. This scene is almost a replica of the treasure of the "money pit".

1795 5438+00 In June, three teenagers boarded Oak Island, which is only three miles from Canada. They found a clearing suddenly appeared in a large red oak forest facing the sea. An ancient oak tree grows independently in the middle of the land. It seems that an ancient ship's crane pulley is hung on its branches, and there is a shallow pit directly below it. According to various indications, it may be buried with pirates' treasures. It turns out that Oak Island was a haunt of pirates in the17th century. There was a famous pirate named William Kit.

He was executed in London in 170 1. Before he died, he made an exchange: if he could avoid death, he would tell a place where he buried his treasure. But he was rejected and sent to the underworld with the treasure.

Is this where Kit's treasure is buried?

Three teenagers began to dig and found that the pit was like a dry well. Every time it melts 65,438+00 feet, it touches an oak board, and there is no result.

1803, another group of people continued to dig. When they dug to a depth of 90 feet, they found a slate engraved with a mysterious symbol, which was deciphered by experts, meaning that 20 million pounds was buried 40 feet below. People are ecstatic. They dug while pumping water. One night, when they hit the bottom with the benchmark, they met a hard object like a box at a depth of 98 feet. Immediately, everyone was talking about the distribution of treasures, but the next day, people were surprised to find that the water in the pit had reached 60 feet deep, so their hopes were dashed.

The treasure digger who is still unwilling to give up has carried out 15 excavations, costing 3 million dollars. 1850, people made another strange discovery. At low tide, water keeps popping up on the beach 5,000 feet east of Qiankeng, just like a sponge full of water is constantly squeezed. At the same time, they found a set of exquisite and complicated water diversion system leading to the "money pit", which made them

So people made an inference: the pirates dug the money pit deep, and then dug the side well obliquely from a deep place. The treasure may be buried at the end of the inclined shaft hundreds of feet away from the money pit, but it is only 30 feet deep from the ground, which makes the pirates confuse the treasure digger and can easily dig out the treasure themselves.

1897, people dug up another parchment scroll at the depth of 155 feet, on which two letters were written with quill pens, and some people dug up iron plates. These findings make people believe that pirates have buried a huge fortune, which was estimated to be 654.38+0 million dollars in the 20th century, and was said to have exceeded 654.38+billion dollars in the 1960s.

In the process of digging the "money pit", there is a legend that seven people must die to reveal its secret. Up to now, six people have been killed on their way to the bottom of the pit. It seems that the real secret is not far away.

Now, a joint company composed of Canada and Americans is carrying out an unprecedented large-scale excavation of the "money pit", investing 6.5438+million US dollars to drill a giant well in the center of the island, with a height of 20 floors, and drilling 200 holes in other places, some of which are as deep as 654.38+065 feet, close to the rock stratum; The drill bit takes out metal products, porcelain, cement and other things from the ground. The company made extra efforts to dig another large well with a diameter of 80 feet and a depth of 200 feet, and prepared enough pumps. Looks like they're going to turn oak island upside down. It turned out that they speculated that there may be billions of dollars buried underground, which is probably the real source of strength and patience.

The mystery of the money pit is not far away. It may be as shocking as Tutankhamun's tomb in Egypt, or it may be a pit dug at great cost.

Horror gold mine in Arizona

In Arizona, USA, there is a mountain called Superstition Mountain, where there are overgrown weeds, rugged rocks, wild animals and fierce rattlesnakes everywhere. In an unknown place in the mountains, there is a "lost Dutch gold mine", which attracts fearless explorers. 1840 At the end of the year, an explorer named Bolanta went deep into the mountainous area and finally found a gold mine rich in mineral resources after many hardships and dangers. He carefully marked it for life.

Since then, many treasure hunters have been trying to find this gold mine, but many people were unfortunately buried in the wilderness, and some people were ambushed and killed by Indians on the way, and the road to gold was full of obstacles and terror.

He often stays in the mountains for two or three days, and then mysteriously sneaks back to his hometown, always taking several bags of high-quality gold mines with him every time.
