I. King Tutankhamun's mask
The world's priceless treasure ranks first. Tutankhamun's golden mask was found in the tomb of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun more than 3300 years ago. The excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb took 19 years. When his mummy was excavated, he wore a Jin Mianju on his head. The mask is commensurate with the size of a real person's face and just covers the face. The mask is made of gold foil, inlaid with precious stones and colored glass. Tutankhamun's golden mask symbolizes the Egyptian civilization at that time, and his forehead is decorated with the gods of eagle and cobra, symbolizing upper and lower Egypt. The beard hangs down below, symbolizing the ghost Osiris.
King Tutankhamun's golden mask has not only become one of the top ten priceless treasures in the world, but also made its owner Tutankhamun the most famous Pharaoh in ancient Egypt.
Second, Mona Lisa.
Mona Lisa is perhaps the most famous painting in the world. This painting was created by Leonardo da Vinci during the Renaissance in Florence. It started in 1503 and was not completed until 15 19, shortly before his death. The woman in this painting is Lisa Del Jokang, a member of a wealthy family in Florence.
The most amazing thing about this painting is that no matter which direction you look, you will feel the Mona Lisa looking at you and smiling at you. Modern people have found through scientific analysis that Mona Lisa's smile contains 83% happiness, 9% disgust, 6% fear and 2% anger. Moreover, there is a second face hidden behind this painting. Scientists discovered three different paintings through multispectral scanning, which were hidden behind Mona Lisa's smile. If we restore these images, we will see a dynamic Mona Lisa smile.
We have to give in to Leonardo da Vinci's genius creation. There are so many secrets hidden in his paintings that no one can know Leonardo da Vinci's real intentions.
Third, British royal jewels.
The world's top ten priceless treasures ranked third, British royal jewelry. The British royal family is famous all over the world with the rise of the British Empire. Until now, every move of the British royal family has made headlines all over the world. The coronation ceremony of each generation of British royal monarchs strictly follows the same tradition. At the coronation ceremony, the crown worn by the king or queen and the power struggle they held became the focus of global attention.
Not only do crowns and scepters symbolize power, but countless jewels embedded in them are even more eye-catching. These are the rarest diamonds and jewels in the world, and the royal family tried their best to collect them. South Africa, the most famous diamond producing area in the world, was a British colony at that time. As long as good diamonds are found, they will be presented to the British royal family and then built by royal craftsmen.
The most expensive diamonds in the world, such as the Star of Africa and the Mountain of Light, are decorated and adorned with crowns and scepters.
Fourth, the Dead Sea Scrolls
These scrolls were discovered by teenage shepherds about 70 years ago. They are of great cultural significance because they contain the earliest Bible manuscripts. Most of the words are written in parchment and papyrus, but one of them is really made of copper plate, because there is a treasure map on it, which can make anyone the richest person in the world. Compared with other writing materials, copper was very precious at that time and could be preserved for a long time.
The tip on this copper plate is also very vague, such as "in the cave of the old washing machine, on the balcony on the third floor" So far, no archaeologists or explorers have cracked this address.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) sunken ship Mrs. Atoka
The Lady Atoka was a Spanish escort ship in the17th century. 1622 In August, a fleet of 29 ships returned to Spain from South America. They had just returned from South American colonies. Because it was a convoy, everyone put the most precious and valuable treasure on the Lady Atoka, but because of a hurricane on the way back, the ship quickly sank to the bottom of the sea at a depth of 17 meters. There are 40 tons of treasures on the "Lady Atoka", including nearly 8 tons of gold and 500 kilograms of precious stones, which are priceless and rank fifth in the list of the top ten priceless treasures in the world.
Six, Faber hot eggs
Faberge eggs were a symbol of luxury in the Russian court a hundred years ago. Karl Gustavovich Faberge made 54 exquisite eggs inlaid with jewels for the royal family. These are not ordinary Easter eggs, but real works of art. Valuables made of gold, diamonds, pearls, various enamels and other materials are carefully decorated and can reveal the same precious "surprise" after opening.
After the Russian revolution, these masterpieces were confiscated by the Soviet Union, and some of them were later sold abroad. Most of these 54 royal eggs are collected by private or public organizations all over the world, but eight of them are still missing.
Seven, the crown of Poland
The jewels in the Polish crown are almost as old as the kingdom itself. According to a list in 1633, these collections are stored in five boxes, including crowns, scepters, chains and swords of historical figures with different symbols on different occasions. 1794, the treasure fell into the hands of Prussians, who transported it to Berlin. The ultimate fate of Polish crown jewels is anything brilliant-they were melted into gold in 1809. Only the ceremonial sword named "Shcherbeech" survived and is currently on display in Krakow.
Eight, Haig's meteorite
1992, Haig bought a meteorite weighing 37 tons in Argentina, which was the largest meteorite he had ever seen in his life. However, when the meteorite was transported out of the customs, the Argentine government arrested it on the charge of smuggling and believed that this rare meteorite belonged to the Argentine country. Later Haig was released, but the meteorite stayed in Argentina forever.
At that time, the market valuation of this meteorite had exceeded 30 million dollars. Because of inflation, the particularity of its source and the potential of future appreciation, no one dares to give an exact value.
Nine, Hawkson coins
Hawkson coins were found in Hawkson village, England,1992165438+10/0, 65438+June. Eric Rouse, an ordinary farmer, accidentally dug up an underground treasure on his land, including 14 19 1 silver coin.
These coins were minted by 13 different mints from 394 to 405, and they are very well preserved.
X. Cullinan diamond
The quality of Cullinan diamond reaches 3 106.75 carats, about 62 1.2 grams, making it the largest diamond in the world so far. 190565438+1On October 25th, this diamond was discovered in Primir mine in South Africa. A manager named Wales occasionally saw a shiny thing on the ground of the mine. He dug it out with a knife and saw that the diamond was as big as an adult's fist. Cullinan diamond is pure and transparent, with a light blue tone, which is the best among gem-grade diamonds.
According to experts' judgment, Cullinan diamond crystal is only one-third of the original complete crystal, and two-thirds have not been found. As South Africa was a British colony at that time, this priceless diamond was also presented to the British royal family to build a crown and scepter.
