12 Lost Treasures You Can Still Look For (PHOTOS)
First Posted: 11-15-10 08:17 AM | Updated: 11-15-10 08:17 AM
Pirates, sea battles, treasure chests, secret tunnels, old maps...any mention of the word "treasure" is bound to set our imaginations on fire. And though it often seems unbelievable or just plain stupid, human beings have continually been lured by the prospects of hidden treasure.
Here's an exciting selection of 12 famous real-life lost treasures - "real" in the sense that countless people have gone out in search of them (with limited or no success!). While some of these lost treasures may be products of rumor, others, like the Bourbon Treasure or the Nazi Loot indeed have historical backing.
But we'll leave that to you to decide. Happy hunting!
