Most Mysterious Treasures Found Underwater

We like to think that, as humans, we are in control of our world and possess all of the answers. After all, we’ve mapped the Earth’s surface, explored much of its landmasses, written great histories about the various civilizations who have lived here and vastly improved our technological levels. We’ve gone from living in huts and caves to townhouses and apartments. Governments have become more developed, medicines more advanced and communications have shrunk the world and made the movement of information nearly instantaneous. Yes, it’s easy to think we’ve conquered this planet because of the effort we are putting into exploring others strewn across the darkness of space. Unfortunately, we must burst the bubble that is our massive ego. There is still much on this planet that we do not know and answers which elude us even after decades and centuries of hard work.

Accidently discovered 3,422 ancient bronze coins

While surveying land to create an underwater tourist itinerary, Italian archeologists accidentally discovered a stash of 3,422 ancient bronze coins chilling off the shallow coast of Pantelleria, a small island about 70 miles south of Sicily.

For one reason or another, they decided to hide the coins 68 feet below the surface. Unfortunately, they never got around to picking them back up. Whoops. It's hard to put a value on antiquities like this, but since they're so rare we put it in the ball park of around $5,000 each.
