if you're interested in lost treasures you're bound to have heard of the fabulous Faberge eggs manufactured by Imperial Russia's house of fabergé between 1885 and 1917 these stunning objects began life as extravagant ornamental Easter gifts passed between Russian monarchs Tsar Alexander the 3rd commissioned the very first Faberge egg to give to his wife Empress Maria Feodorovna for their 20th anniversary the Empress was so taken with it that Alexander appointed Faberge as the Imperial crowns official Goldsmith's these stunning works of art were crafted using precious metals and exquisite

into the shape of a three leaf clover is in the possession of Russian billionaire and avid Faberge egg collector Viktor Vekselberg number nine the Holy Grail one of the most renowned Christian relics there has been a great deal of debate regarding exactly what the Holy Grail is or was the subject of several popular movies including Indiana Jones in the Last Crusade the most common depiction of the Holy Grail is a goblet fashioned out of gold and adorned with beautiful gemstones but rather than any material value the cup may or may not have the real reason why the Holy Grail is so sought after is that Jesus Christ himself is said to have drunk out of it at the Last Supper then a short while later as Christ was crucified it was used to collect his blood and act now symbolized by the ceremonial wine drinking we see at church services today treasure hunters are still searching for the Holy Grail but even if anyone were to find it they would have a hard time proving it in 2014 two spanish historians claimed to have found the goblet at a church in leon a study confirmed it was made within the right sort of time period but scientists have no way of confirming whether it was indeed the cup of legend there are said to be around 200 Grail cups in existence around the world and nowhere has it actually been confirmed that the Holy Grail was even a cup in fact some scholars have gone as far as to question whether the Holy Grail ever existed at all number 8 the max Berg Archaeopteryx the Archaeopteryx was a species of flying dinosaur that lived in the Late Jurassic era the study of Archaeopteryx fossils has established links between these airborne predators and the birds that inhabit our skies today unfortunately Archaeopteryx fossils are extremely rare with only 11 ever having been discovered in researchable condition one of those is the max Berg Archaeopteryx a lost treasure that hasn't been seen since the death of its owner in 1991 following the fossils discovery in a German quarry back in the mid 50's the quarries owner Edouard sent it away to be examined by a geologist who confirmed it was an Archaeopteryx fossil an extraordinary find considering only two others had been discovered up to that point unfortunately opposites was an eccentric loner with a short fuse though he agreed for the max Bergman mourn time to display the fossil for a time sale negotiations with the Munich State Museum fell through an APPA to all further requests to view or study it instead he took it home and hid it under his bed now almost three decades after his death the whereabouts of the max Berg Archaeopteryx are a total mystery some say he sold it to a private collector although experts are skeptical that anyone else would have acquired it and been able to keep it a secret all this time considering it's not been seen for such a long time the most believable theories are that Appa China hid his treasure or took it with him to his grave number seven the Amber Room we're only a few entries into this list but it's already clear to see Russia knew how to do opulence case in point the Amber Room originally a gift from the King of Prussia Friedrich Wilhelm the first to Russia's Peter the grape the Amber Room was just that a 180 square foot room with walls made of amber and gold leaf six tons of the stuff to be exact the room was so stunning it was nicknamed the eighth wonder of the world over 200 years later the Nazis invaded Russia and began looting the country of its most valuable treasures wondering at the wisdom of trying to shift six tons of fragile amber out under the Nazis noses the russians attempted to hide it instead by wallpapering over it sadly the Nazis sawed through this ingenious plan the Amber Room was dismantled and sent to a castle in königsberg Germany there it was reconstructed and displayed for a while but as the war headed into its final act the rooms valuable components were boxed up and hidden away never to be seen again some historians surmised that the amber room was destroyed by Allied bombers targeting the castle while others suggest the Nazis attempted to smuggle it out and may have lost it somewhere along the way several groups of treasure hunters profess to have found the amber room even as recently as June 2019 but so far the eighth wonder continues to elude us number six the Honjo Masamune Goro knew Udo Masamune is widely regarded as the greatest Japanese swordsmith who ever lived and the blades he crafted are among the most valuable and sought-after weapons in the world one

Tokugawa Shogunate passed down from one Shogun to the next the story goes that no asougi clan general Hanzo shaggy Naga survived an attack by an assailant wielding the blade and took it for his own when chigan Agha ran out of money he was forced to sell the sword but it eventually wound up back in the hands of the Tokugawa clan it was last known to be in the possession of Prince Tokugawa a masseur who died in 1963 when the United States occupied Japan following the second world war they outlawed the production of such weapons and the Honjo Masamune was apparently one of over a dozen handed in at a police station in Majuro Tokyo it said that the police then handed the sorts to sergeant cold even more of the western Pacific Army forces foreign liquidations commission but this is where the trail goes cold the blade hasn't been seen since and to this day its whereabouts are unknown number five the Ark of the Covenant another biblical relic the Ark of the Covenant is a gold-plated wooden chest said to contain two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments a staff once carried by Moses's brother Aaron and a pot of mana an edible substance considered to be a gift from God referenced in various versions and books of the Bible the Ark is believed to have been constructed either by Moses or under his supervision the Israelites revered the Ark carrying it with them across the desert for forty years later the Ark was captured by the Philistines who went on to suffer a great deal of misfortune leading them to believe that it was cursed still that hasn't put treasure
