Customer Reviews

There's an awful lot of treasure still to be found.

This is a neatly laid out book with plenty of stories to whet the appetite of any adventurous soul who wants to go in search of treasure. Plenty of illustrations, photographs and historic pictures to support a well written text. The book has seven main sections dealing with; Pirate gold, lost ships, lost cities, religious treasures, spoils of war, proceeds from crime and art mysteries. Within each of these sections are a number of individual stories relating to valuable items which have been lost completely or, as in the case of HMS Edinburgh, something that is only partially recovered. Plenty here for a good read. NM

It's magnificently written book

This is a book that has really good describes on different cultures and their artifacts that were found. There are cultures like the Mayans, Egyptians and the Englis. It also has things about historic artifacts and things like Titanic.
