Chamber Beneath Padmanabhaswamy Temple

Are you aware that the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple is the richest temple on the planet? They found a stash of treasure in the decadent place of worship. The truth is that it has always been shrouded in mystery. Legend even says that the chamber is guarded by two giant snakes and that anyone who opens it is fated to a doomed end. It is hard to believe that Temple B, the sixth vault, is veiled in such secrecy. At any rate, only five out of six vaults have been unlocked under the orders of the Supreme Court of India. This is considered to be the biggest gold and precious stones collection not only in Inia but in the world! Overall, the stash is believed to be worth a trillion dollars. Whoa.

Bactrian Gold

Golden Hill or Tillman Tempe is also called Bactrian gold. In 1978, this site in Jowzjan, Afghanistan was discovered and excavated. The team found around 20,600 ivory, silver, gold, and other ornaments in graves that date back to the 1st century BCE. After it was discovered, the whole stash vanished from the National Museum of Afghanistan as the war raged on. In 2003, it was discovered in secret vaults in the capital. In the end, the French and the Afghan governments reached an agreement on what to do about it. The collection was displayed in a number of museums throughout the United States and Paris, but the pieces will be kept in a Kabul museum.
