Treasures That Are Still Lost At Sea

[@seanmorgan2356]

If Simon started Narrating bigtime Historical Documentaries and/or Audiobooks, I'd be all over those!

I would say he doesn't have the time but then again he keeps making new channels lol

[@Wreckz_Tea]

The thought of telling authorities that I found a hoard of old treasure is HILARIOUS. I'd hate to think I'd ever put my would-be fortune into the hands of uncle Sam to decide if I get anything for it other than an attaboy and local news story. Hell knowing the government I wouldn't be surprised to find a certified letter in the mail letting me know I owe taxes on the treasure they took from me

[@KillaAkuma]

International laws of salvage. And if it’s not within US costal waters they can’t tax it or make any claim on it ;)

[@Wreckz_Tea]

@@KillaAkuma We will tax your taxes until you are taxed from existence. Then tax your children for yourlife insurance policy after youre gone 😈

[@StoneInMySandal]

Yep. Nobody benefits from reporting their treasure finds. Even worse than the government taking it, I think, would be some insurance company taking it. Which happens. Not to me! Historic value be damned. I’m melting everything into ingots and selling it to people who hang out in bunkers and pawn shops.

[@RHCole]

...you think your influx of new money is gonna go unnoticed by the IRS? And when they find out where it was coming from, you'll be facing even more legal issues then tax law. Like, come on man.

[@brs690]

[@davidmeeks2405]

Bell is probably not under river but beside it. Civil War steam ship was discovered a few years back in a soy bean field 80 yds. from the present day river bed. I'm just saying.

[@eekee6034]

Possibly a good point! Rivers do move, especially in their flood plains. Babylon, once defended by the greatest river of the Middle East, could hardly be drier now. At the other end of the scale, the mouth of Britain's little Arun used to move with every flood season until it was fixed by human intervention.

[@iainmcculloch5807]

Simon's pronunciation of Menkaure also plumbs new depths!

[@MikeBaxterABC]

What happened with all these numerous "ships sunk with treasures" was .. The cash was loaded on to another ship and the "fake carrying ship" was purposely sunk .. then the cash was shared among the shipmates ... so simple, so profitable.

[@boost1606]

How dare you accuse these honorable sailors of such a thing. THEY ARE SAILORS NOT PIERATES!! What is wrong with you sir??

[@alphagt62]

Especially the Spanish loading 100 tons of gold onto a British ship? The sister ship survives but the ship with the treasure is lost? That is mighty suspicious. Money to fund an army, lost at the hands of a foreign government. I can almost promise there were shenanigans.

[@John-ql9pi]

Darn good point. Follow the money.

[@readingking1421]

Right. And everyone involved avoided attacks of conscious or drunkenness to spill the beans for the rest of their lives, on top of hiding the loot from everyone they know. 🙄

Very interesting, what great treasures are still out there! It would be so cool to look for treasures similar to that. It is hard to pick my favorite, maybe the Flor de la Mar simply because it seems to be the biggest treasure. Thank you for the video.

[@cleverusername9369]

He's also got yet ANOTHER brand new channel called "Science of Science Fiction"

Good comment!

[@twocvbloke]

When you think about it, if all the lost gold were to be found today, the value of gold could drop to the point it's just a useless yellow metal (fiscally speaking, it's great for electrical and electronic purposes), which would be nice, would be fun having one's house wired with gold cable instead of copper... :P

[@claudiaxander]

205,238 tonnes of gold has been mined throughout history, of which around two-thirds has been mined since 1950. So no, it wouldn't devalue.

[@Andrewza1]

Yeah the value of gold moved from one mine a day these days is staggering

[@TheEvilCommenter]

Good video 👍

[@aaronleblanc9276]

2:40 “Sent to the British Museum with ‘proper authorization’,” he says with a straight face. Made me chuckle.

[@cbt1989gy]

I find the music between each story is somehow both relaxing and unsettling. It could even be the music that first plays after you die lol

[@stevedaenginerd]

I love how lately, no of the end screen video links haven't been what Fact Boi has been saying they are! Haha It would be nice, tho, if those videos he throws to were linked in cards or the descriptions. Most of them have sounded rather interesting!

[@Julia-uh4li]

Yeah, it's disappointing as I rarely have time to go and search. Meh, that's just me being lazy. But I'm with ya, he shouldn't say they are linked when they aren't. He needs an editor that takes their time and doesn't miss these sorts of things. I love the other channels editors, top notch, like Jen & Sam.

[@eekee6034]

"It's best if whoever finds this treasure just pockets whatever gold coins they can, and leaves the rest for the beaurocrats to decide." I have a hypothesis: Many "never found" shipwrecks have in fact been found, but their discoverers chose not to make their findings public, instead profiting from the find. But I don't think it's a very strong hypothesis. If it has happened a lot, you'd expect many more reports of finding sunken vessels to state that the treasure had already been stolen. Instead, it always seems to be untouched.

[@GAMakin]

Har, Matey! And thank ye very muchly for the "TIPS" pertinant to them Drowned Treasures. Pumped life back into me aged bones. As to the Great Bell of Dhammazedhi... It's where it belongs and has been since 1610. Although popular Social Myth claims it was lost somewhere in a Burmese river (The River Mont de Python), nothing could be farther from the Truth, or its location. I should know, I moved it. Took the contract in the steamy bowels of Bangkok, that Sailor's Wet Dream of Earthly Delights of Old. Long story short: We loaded it aboard my Ship, The Virgin Cunny, in Bangkok (what's in a name?) and hauled (more like KEELHAULED) it up the Ganges to its confluence with the Brahmaputra. Its ultimate destination: TIBET. Yuh sees, the one that sunk in the River Python was a papier maché copy, which promptly melted as it sank into the murky river. Somewhere in the night preceding, some crafty Tantric Buddhist Priests switched out the entire Raft! BELL and all! ... All papier maché! The GHANTA of MAHADEVI -- Mother of Reality, is what them crafty Tantric Buddhists call it. The REAL THING was featured (briefly) in the Movie "2012": BING-BONGGGG! Kiss your arse goodbye! Somehow appropriate for the Dawning of the Age of Unreason... Mark me words, Sailor, every inch of this tome is true to the mark; dead-on the Cosmic Wazoo, as it were. Thanks agin' for the Tips. Indeed and practice, TIPS are a Sailor's favorite snack! Sincerely Yurz, Cap'n Hannibal "Pissgums" Lecter Bane of the Seven C's 🤙 p.s.: Love that cranberry sweatshirt!

Great video as always, but the stock music is obnoxious af

[@Mrgunsngear]

There are of course many other lost treasure ships. I'm in South Africa. A well known one here is of the treasure of the Grosvenor. It was a British galleon returning to Britain from India, in the 1700's, and ran aground at the southeast coast.

[@angelitabecerra]

Menkaure is pronounced "Min-car-ray" for those curious. Im guessing Simon either didn't look it up or his pronunciation dictionary didn't have it listed for some strange reason. This is a Pharaoh's name that's relatively well known given his association with the Great Pyramids of Giza. So pronunciation if his Pharonic name is also relatively well known

[@matdur2000]

How many of those lost treasures were simply re-appropriated by the ships crews and even the captains

[@Polydeukes68]

Menkaure died cd. 2500BC. Oldest known gold coins are from 6th century BC. So, there probably was no gold coins in the ship transporting Menkaures sarcophagus - unless they were discovered from a ca. 2000 year newer site.

The Peking Man reminds me of a [dirty, lame] joke: What do you call a Chinese voyeur? - A Peking Tom Also: Why are there so many foreign artifacts in the British Museum? - That's easy: Gun beats spear *** About sunken treasures: Is it possible most of those were the crew & captain going through a bunch of hassles, only to get a Sailor's Pay, so they simply absconded with the treasure, changed their names, sank the ship in deep waters, and lived wealthily ever after? If I knew my only Sailor's Bonus was an extra Grog ration for doing something really well and not being whipped for any minor offense...yeeaahhh, some of them gold coins might make me feel a little better about a mutual mutiny. *** Finally, who's to say some adventurous opportunists did find some of these sunken wrecks in shallow waters, but didn't tell anyone their "fishing trips" weren't angling for Goldfish?

The Malacca Sultan treasure was only a bit left for the invader as the sultan had a dream warning of the invasion, he had a thousand tons of gold divided to four corners of the peninsula and and island nearby guarded by the jinns and until today the island is off limit to anyone save the last saviour of end times as ordered in the sultan's dream. He also ordered his famous 2 ships much much bigger than any at the time sunk as it's made to be assembled and disassemble easily as not to reveal the secret of its engineering and only recently discovered. The amazing stories of the Malacca sultanate have rarely been told although the British and Portuguese museums have a lot of documents stolen from the great palace before it was burned down.
