"Long-told tales of lost tombs and hidden treasure have survived even into today's atmosphere of skepticism. Some of these artifacts definitely exist--their locations have just been forgotten. Others are truly myths. Readers want to know what is legend and which treasure to pursue. This compelling tome is their guide! There's plenty of history to explore as they learn about lost Inca gold, cursed Egyptian crypts, poisoned tombs in China, the missing grave of Genghis Khan, and untold amounts of shipwrecked treasure. A beautiful design including historical and fantastical images serves to heighten interest in this must-read volume"--From the publisher's web site.
