Check out the most expensive artifacts ever found! From mysterious ancient discoveries to valuable lost treasures, this top 10 list of ancient artifacts is amazing! • Subscribe to World5List http://goo.gl/cpJSA6 • Over time the denizens of our planet have helped make sure that those who are gone are not truly lost, and certain treasures are not lost either. Join us as we reveal some of the most priceless ancient artifacts ever found. • 1. Pharaoh Sculpture • Egypt is a land of much history, and many wonders that baffle people to this day (seriously, how did they make those pyramids?). And while there is another Egyptian treasure on this list, we thought it would be poetic to show off a mysterious treasure. Mainly, the sculpture of an Egyptian Pharaoh. • 2. Rosetta Stone • Sticking with Egypt, we go from the head of a pharaoh to a piece of rock that arguably changed how we looked at their culture. You see, the Rosetta Stone is famous because it allowed non-Egyptian people to read the hieroglyphs that were within the pyramids and temples in the land. You see, this stone had three different languages written on it. • 3. Koh-i-Noor Diamond • Diamonds are forever, right? Well...they’re also really, REALLY valuable, and for good reason. What’s more, the bigger the diamond, the more the value. • 4. Egyptian Paint • Ok, we know, paint doesn’t SOUND priceless, so why is it on this list? Well, as in many things, you don’t judge a book by its cover. This palette is thousands of years old, and yet, the paint that’s within the palette is still visible. • 5. Imperial Regalia of the Holy Roman Empire • There are certain items that are worth a lot separately, but when you have a complete set? That can make it priceless. Such is the Imperial Regalia of the Holy Roman Empire. • 6. Priam’s Treasure • Another collection of items, Priam’s Treasure holds a high honor because of its history both as an item, and its connection to World War II. • And to this day, the legendary city of Troy has not been found. We’re just saying. • 7. Ashikaga shogunate Armor • Japan is a land that prides itself on its history, and with good reason. Long before they were a technological powerhouse, they were a land of samurai and emperors. • 8. Ostrich Egg Map • No, we’re not joking you. Someone literally took an ostrich egg and decided to carve a map of the world on it. Or, at least the world they knew existed. This egg was discovered in Florence, Italy, which has made many wonder who made it, and why they went to such lengths to craft it. • • 9. Lost and Destroyed Artifacts • There’s always a dark side when it comes to trying to find artifacts. Mainly, some people don’t care about them, or attempts to preserve history are met with skepticism (see: The Monuments Men), and thus are considered low priority, or, in the worst cases, outright destroyed.
