1. Tutankhamun's tomb, Egypt.埃及圖坦卡蒙法老墓
When it comes to treasure troves, it's hard to beat the tomb of this Egyptian pharaoh. Its discovery had all the ingredients of the intrepid expedition: an old-school British archaeologist (Howard Carter), rumors of a curse, and a treasure so vast that it took about a decade to empty the tomb. It was unearthed in 1922 after a seven-year hunt in Egypt's Valley of Kings. There, Carter found several secret chambers containing gilded statues, gold coffins and the pharaoh's iconic burial mask, which is now displayed at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
