It is easy to dismiss all theories that even the world’s greatest treasures could somehow find their way into today’s Czech Republic. “It must be remembered that in the past we were located on important trade routes. Moreover, it is not written anywhere that everything had to be transported on ships. There is a lot of evidence that, for example, it was also traveled overland from Russia,” David Kohoutek reported for Čtidoma.cz. So what treasures should we look for with a little imagination? And what clues could indicate this?

Blackbeard’s Treasure

When “Blackbeard” was killed in battle in 1718, the career of history’s most famous pirate ended. But his legend continued to grow, and generations of treasure hunters wondered where he collected the loot. Blackbeard’s treasure was speculated to be somewhere in North Carolina—perhaps on his old favorite island of Ocracoke or at the wreck site of his legendary ship Queen Anne’s Revenge. But these are only unconfirmed theories.

“There was a story that at least part of the treasure was found by the Spanish and they were supposed to transport it to Madrid. It was also supposed to be used as a wage in the battles of the so-called the big four wars and reach the territory of the Habsburg Monarchy as part of the loot. Some fragments of the treasure are said to be hidden practically all over Europe to this day. So looking along the trade routes of the time would make sense.” said Rooster.

Merchant Royal

An English merchant ship got into trouble and sank off the coast of Cornwall in September 1641. She took with her a huge treasure consisting of gold, silver, coins and gems. It has been speculated that the long-lost cargo could be worth at least £1 billion in today’s money. But the ship has not been found to this day.

According to many experts, it could be the most valuable wreck of all time. “Did she really sink? So why hasn’t anyone found her when there is fairly accurate information on where she should have ended up? It is possible that she did not go to the bottom at all, but anchored safely in one of the secret ports. The treasure is said to have been divided among the powers fighting in the Thirty Years’ War. But some of the gold was stolen and hidden. Some clues pointed to a number of hiding places, including Czech lands. Also because civil war broke out in England in 1942.”

Montezuma’s Aztec Treasure

Montezuma II was the last great emperor of the Aztec Empire. The Spanish conquered what is now Mexico. His dramatic downfall came after the arrival of the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés, and although the exact details are lost in the mists of history, we do know that Montezuma died in his palace in Tenochtitlán. Cortés and his men they were forced to flee, and it was during this frantic flight that they are said to have dumped a pile of treasure they had looted.

The question is what happened to the Aztec loot. Is it at the bottom of Lake Texcoco in Mexico, or was it taken north to what is now the United States? “Or none of these versions apply. The gold or some of it may have been transported to the coast by some of the soldiers. Subsequently loaded onto ships and taken to Europe. Would someone trumpet it to the world? Difficult. The fate of the treasure could then be the same as many others. Its parts are all over Europe. Some people believe that several artefacts also appeared in the territory of today’s Moravia. Where are they today? Nobody knows.”

Amber Chamber

Could the entire room be a lost treasure? It can, if it happens to be made of amber, gold, and precious stones, and if it is dismantled and taken away where no one will ever find it. That was the fate of the Amber Chamber, a flamboyant “nest” that was created for Frederick I of Prussia. in the early 18th century. The gem was then gifted to Peter the Great of Russia, which meant it had to be dismantled and carefully reconstructed in the Catherine Palace near St. Petersburg.

In 1941, the room was dismantled again – this time by Hitler’s thugs, who took it back to Germany, where it was put on display at Königsberg Castle. Her fate it has remained a mystery ever since. “There is talk of destruction by Allied air raids. Truth or camouflage? Some sources stated that the Amber Chamber also appeared in Prague. And further? Hard to say. He who does not seek will not find, that is the only certainty.” David Kohoutek added for Čtidoma.cz.
