Can't believe no one has mentioned the lost tomb of Genghis Khan.All the porters were killed to keep the location secret,which it has been all these years. Edit:Whoops I just saw the earlier mention...Oh well, still would be an amazing discovery.

Somebody dug up this old chestnut of a thread, but that was the "known but undiscovered" treasure that came to my mind. 'Ol Chinggis sleeps somewhere in Mongolia with a LOT of choice plunder from most of the known world at the time.

IMHO the greatest treasure - the Library of Alexandria - was lost and destroyed by fire.

Durned extremest Theophilius and his radical Christians put us back 3,000 years. ::)

How about that gold hoards that the Nazis buried in the Austrian Alps?
It is said that some of the treasure was dumped in lakes as well.

Closer to home...The 1,600 Spanish burro pack train of gold and silver, supposedly about 15 miles East of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Course I don't know how much a burro can carry :)

The library of Alexandria was repeatedly burned - not just by Theophilus, but FIRST by good old Julius Caesar, and before Theophilus there was the attack by Roman emperor Aurelian, and don't forget the Arabs also burned the books (to heat bath waters) in 642 AD. There were still enough books remaining even at this date to supply "firewood" to heat bath water for six months! So to get the full library you would need to get it prior to the arrival of Caesar, not the Christians..... :o

Good luck and good hunting, I hope you find the treasures that you seek.

I would stand behind the fellow whom claims the gate keepers will keep it hidden.
I don't think the government has any of the big ones, or they would be using it already.
The picture of the ark is a good one, what it really looks like.
Besides do you think you would live long if anyone actually found out if any of you knew where any of it was?
Think about your friends and family,,,the pain they will endure.
