From the ancient period to the era of Nazi, there are many such treasures that were lost in this world and these are yet to be discovered. So, here are the 10 lost treasures of the Ancient Times.

10. Forrest Fenn's Treasure Hunt.

in 1988 a wealthy art dealer by the name of Forrest Fenn was diagnosed with cancer. Fearing the worst, Fenn devised a plan to create a sturdy bronze chest which would be filled with riches. It is believed that everything from gold nuggets and coins to a jar containing his personal autobiography is stored in the vault. Somehow, then survived the illness and waited until 2010 to finally hide the chest in March 2013. He revealed that it was hidden in the Rocky Mountains north of Santa Fe New Mexico and is five thousand feet or 1500 meters above sea level. Several more unique clues were released by Fenn in the years that followed the most recent in January 2015. Finn has published two books on the subject both containing valuable bits of information regarding the treasures location, an estimated one to three million dollars remains up for grabs.

9 The Ultimate Money Pit. 

Oak Island is located just off the shores of Nova Scotia, and is the site of one of the most long-lasting treasure hunts in North American history. It is known as the money pit, was found in the Year 1795 by a young man named Daniel McGinnis, who reported seeing mysterious lights coming from the area. Upon investigation he discovered a circular hole which he and some friends began digging. After several trips to the pit, little more than a pickaxe and wooden platforms were found as the legend spread others made their way to the site to try their luck. They were continuously edged on by exciting signs of treasure such as coconut shells not native to the region and even a cryptic stone some 90 feet or 24 meters under the Earth's surface. This finding said many more flocking to the area with dream of unimaginable wealth on their minds. At one point even President Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave the dig a try in the late 1920s. The suspected pirates treasure has yet to be found and its existence is based almost solely on circumstantial evidence.

8. Nazi treasure in laketop.

As the second world war came to a close, German Nazi's sunk containers and various other objects into the depths of Lake couplets near Salzburg in western Austria. Several containers have since been

recovered, upon opening them millions of dollars worth of fake currencies from Allied nations were found. It is believed to have been directly linked to operation Bernhardt, its goal was to inflate set economies which was quite an ingenious plan. Among a very minut number of the wealth of sunken containers being found were of Nazi's era rockets and missiles that had landed in laketop. Unfortunately, this body of water is littered with sunken logs near the supposed location. A portion of the treasure stolen from those sent to concentration camps but that has not stopped divers from investigating. Those who have made it down claimed to have seen a sunken plane yet the possibility of millions worth of gold and maybe even the legendary Amber Room panels have eluded those on the hunt.

7. 200 Million Dollars off the coast of Florida. 

In 1622 the Spanish galleon nuestra senora de Atocha was on his way back to Spain from trading ports in modern-day Colombia Panama and Cuba, but suddenly he was caught in a tragic hurricane off the coast of Key West Florida. Many ships were steered off course by the winds and soon sunk beneath the waves along with an estimated 700 million dollars worth of valuables including gold, silver, jewels, indigo and even fine tobacco. In 1985 American treasure hunter Mel Fisher and his team discovered the mother lode. The experts determined that there is still approximately two hundred million dollars worth of riches up for grabs according to the captain's log 17 tons of silver bars 183 thousand coins of differing value 59 pounds or 27 kilograms of emeralds and 35 boxes of miscellaneous gold are somewhere hidden in a watery grave just waiting for someone to strike it rich.

6. The Beale Ciphers.

According to legend, a man by the name of Thomas Beale and several others came across a large sum of gold and silver while

mining in the Rocky Mountains in 1816. So many precious metals were supposedly found that it is estimated to be worth around 66 million dollars by today's

standards. Apparently, the group kept a cool head and decided they could never make good use of it all should they perish they're surviving ken was to inherit a portion of the treasure. As a

way to ensure that such wealth wouldn't make it into the wrong hands Beale wrote three separate ciphers and gave them to a Virginia innkeeper who was told to wait no less than 10 years before opening the box containing the papers. When no one returned to retrieve the box and no key was sent to open it, the innkeeper Robert Morris did the honors for years he and a friend tried to decode the papers. But to their despair they could only manage to crack the second one's code. The second one lists the content of treasure while the

first is said to describe its location and the third lists the names of the treasures owners and their family members. Doubts of its existence have not

deterred many treasure hunters who risk being arrested for unauthorized digging and trespassing .

5. The 100 year old lost dimes.

In 1907, a wagon train left the Denver Mint carrying six large barrels of brand-new barbered dimes named after the coins designer Charles Barbour. The coins were to be delivered to Phoenix Arizona some 820 miles or 1319 kilometers away. Over 100 years later there has yet to be any sign of the shipment. There are two leading theories as to what may have happened to

those dimes, it is quite possible that the wagon train was attacked by armed bandits looking for some easy cash or that the party may have plummeted to the bottom of

Colorado's Black Canyon while navigating perilous mountain trails. What makes these dimes have sought after, a single one in excellent condition fetches somewhere in the ballpark of $600 multiply that by 5,000 and you have a good three million dollars unaccounted for.

4. Treasure fleet of 1715.

In 1712 Spain amassed one of the largest treasure fleets to sail the seas up until that period. I guess the old saying don't put all your eggs in one basket

wasn't popular in those days because for some reason or other they overloaded eleven ships with precious metals and jewels. Today, they would be sold for a grand total of approximately two billion dollars. In 1715, after making a stop in Cuba, the galleons set sail just few days before hurricane season hoping to decrease the chances of running into pirate ships and privateers. Seven days later, the vessels were reduced to

splinters. Around 1,000 sailors perished as a result and for four years after the Spanish successfully salvaged about half

of the treasure but were forced to

retreat as the spot became a prime location for pirates looking to get in on the action. Seven of the eleven ships have been located primarily due to the

efforts of Kip Wagner a Marine treasure hunter. But fortunately much of the treasure remains for a few lucky souls to stumble across.

3. The lost city of Paititi.

For many of you have heard the story of El Dorado. A city littered with gold lost somewhere in South America's vast expanse of rainforest. It might also include a legend about a mooshka chieftain the golden one who would cover himself with gold dust before religious ceremonies. Although, there is some skepticism behind this. The real City of Gold is paititi from what

we know, the Spanish had been at war with the Incas of Peru for nearly 40 years and forced the tribe to retreat to vilcabamba Valley, where they held strong

until 1572. When they were finally overrun, the Spanish found the city largely deserted. it appeared that the Incas had retreated into the rainforests of southern Brazil and with them taken an estimated ten billion dollars worth of gold artifacts. Despite being considered a myth, in 2009 satellite images showed a clearing in the vocodiocular region of Brazil. This shows that at one time there were settlements here and has led some skeptics to rethink their stance. Is it possible that somewhere hidden under the

canopies of the Amazon rainforest is a treasure trove of lost gold.

2. Pure Gold Statues in Cocos Island Cave. 

In 1820 the revolt of Peru against

Spain was a near certainty. The governor and clergy in the city of Lima the country's capital entrusted its treasures to Captain William Thompson of the merry deer which was to set sail to Mexico for delivery. Over 60 million dollars worth of various keepsakes of the city were transported. Among the most expensive of all the treasures were two life-sized statues of the Blessed Virgin Mary holding her son Jesus cast entirely

of pure gold the temptation was too much to handle. Out of greed, Thompson had his passengers killed and headed for Cocos

Island which is approximately 342 miles or 550 kilometers off of Costa Rica. There he buried all he could fit in a cave for safekeeping. Thompson would then Join forces with a pirate crew and narrowly escaped capture. Never again did

he return to the spot where he buried the treasure before passing to this day only six gold coins have been found.

1. King John's crown jewels King.

King John of England had a fancy for stealing anything of value and that sparkled in the light. In 1216, King John traveled to Bishop's Lynn in Norfolk where he

arrived on October 9th of that year. At the time this area was referred to as the wash due to the fact that it was once nothing more than a huge expanse of

marshes and dangerous mud flats which served as an inconvenience and danger to

any traveler. It was here that King John fell ill with dysentery and decided to return to Newark Castle. Making a wise decision he took the safer route around the wash. While some of his soldiers and carts loaded with his riches even the crown jewels which he had inherited from his grandmother the Empress of Germany. They took the more direct route through the marshes trapped by the tides many men lost their lives and the treasure carts were never recovered. Any man who is lucky enough to have our rainbow lead him to the site of King John's crown jewels will inherit a great fortune of approximately seventy million dollars.
