World famous but still undiscovered treasures and treasures have occupied the minds of many adventurers and historians alike. The suddenly discovered library of Ivan the Terrible or the grave of Genghis Khan will become a sensation.
How many different treasures have been dug out of the earth, raised from the bottom of the seas or found in distant caves. Scythian gold, Spanish crown treasures and much, much more. But how many such treasures have not yet been found, how many more treasures are hidden in various parts of the planet, waiting for the lucky ones who can understand the ancient legends.
Treasures - this one word excites the minds of many, many lovers of antiquities.
Library of Ivan the Terrible
This is the most famous and most desired, perhaps, treasure for all treasure hunters in Moscow. According to rumors, the grandmother of the Russian tsar, Sophia Palaeologus, brought with her from Byzantium, when she was married to Ivan III, a huge number of books, the legacy of the wisdom of ancient peoples. Called Libereya, the library was kept for a long time in the basement of the Church of the Nativity of the Theotokos, and then, to save it from Moscow fires, it was moved somewhere to a secret "underground city" - a chain of artificial and man-made caves near Moscow.
After the 16th century, the data on the location of Liberea are lost, and from that time the search for the largest library of antiquity begins.
Kolchak's gold
Everyone who has been to Siberia has heard of a treasure hidden somewhere in the taiga. According to documents dated 20-30 years of the last century, Kolchak took possession of a large part of the imperial treasury. Loaded carts with gold coins and ingots, precious stones and works of art did not reach Kolchak's headquarters. According to legend, some of these treasures are buried somewhere in the Peipsi pits in the vicinity of Lake Baikal.
However, quite accurate historical data are associated with this treasure. In 1919, a train carrying part of the treasury of the Russian Empire collapsed into the waters of Lake Baikal as a result of a railway blast. However, the record depth of the lake has not yet allowed to find even a part of the two-hundred-ton gold treasure. Although in the recent past - in 2009 - very serious attempts were made - they searched for the treasure with the help of the Mir underwater station, but nothing came of it. Future generations of treasure hunters will have to find it.
Tomb of Genghis Khan
The national hero of Mongolia, the conqueror Genghis Khan, according to legend, was buried in incredible luxury. In addition to mountains of magnificent fabrics that were especially loved by the conqueror, his admirers put precious stones, gold items, and simply placers of coins in the grave of the Great Khan. However, according to the will of Genghis Khan himself, a huge herd of horses was driven over his grave several times so that the greedy "diggers" would not get any of the khan's treasures.
