So what are the biggest hidden treasures ever in the world found? Do you like interesting facts? Do love reading about mysterious treasures which wait for being discovered? Insider Monkey has recently published a great article about hidden treasures. We live in the 21st century and we suppose to have discovered everything – but it’ not true. There are still treasures that haven’t been found yet, mysteries that haven’t been solved yet; secrets that haven’t been revealed yet. History may still bring us so many surprises that we can’t imagine. It makes me remember the stories of Indiana Jones: how much I loved to watch him seeking the treasures!
For example the Terracotta Army was unbelievable for us when we first heard about them: they were created in the period of 211-206 BC, but they were only discovered in the second half of the 20th century. So our next question is: how many things are still sleeping under the ground or under the surface of seas and oceans? We can never know what the archeologists will discover next time.
So Insider Monkey decided to make a fascinating list of hidden treasures, and they checked various lists from sites like Quora, History, TheCultureTrip. After consulting these sources a new list was made by combining all the data, according to the approximate value of these treasures.
We have picked three items from their list: The Temple of the Feathered Serpent Treasure; Frome Hoard; and The Barley Field Treasure. The Temple of the Feathered Serpent Treasure has items with unknown value. Sergio Gómez, an archeologist from the Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History, received the permission from the government to dig a tunnel in the temple in the year of 2009. He found about 70,000 artifacts there such as: coins, jewelry, pottery, also some creepy things, such as the human skin. The value of Frome Hoard is $300,000 and it was found by Dave Crisp, in Somerset, England, in 2010. There were 52,503 Roman coins in a pot from AD 253 to 305. It is an incredible collection of artifacts. The Barley Field Treasure has a value of $495,000 and it was discovered by amateurs. Martin Eliot found this treasure who just wanted to teach his cousin how to use a metal detector – and he discovered more than 9,000 antique coins in the field!
