.....A headline I never believed that I would type....

For over 2,000 years scholars have wondered what happed to The Holy Grail, a chalice reportedly used by Jesus during the Last Supper. Such an item would surely command a HUGE price to any collector if it could be proven genuine.

Inside the San Isid oro Basilica in Leon, Spain is a jewel encrusted goblet that is reputed to have resided there for over 1,000 years.

Two historians have made headlines by stating that this is the Holy Grail from historical records!
Jose Manuel Ortega del Rio and Margarita Torres have contributed to a book entitled “Kings of the Grail” which documents the amazing journey of this item. They claim that this item was stolen from Jerusalem and taken to Egypt. They say it was eventually given to Spanish king Ferdinand I as tribute. They base this assertion on “conclusive evidence” from Egyptian scrolls.

The item has since been wrapped in gold and jewels and is still in the Basilica today.

If true, this is one of the most amazing finds in history....

The largest treasure found in a major city?

Many people do not believe that big treasures are all around us NO MATTER where we live. We may live in rural or urban, big or small cities and the latest find just reinforces that treasure is all around us.

A 2,000 year old Native American village has been discovered in downtown Miami, Florida during an excavation for a high rise building. The ancient Tequesta Indian site is now classified as one of the most complete and significant Native American sites in the state of Florida.

This site is so valuable and special; a two story glass enclosure will be built in concentric circles above the site.

If this valuable treasure was located inside a big metropolis, what else is lying underneath the ground in our cities and towns?

A soldier's tale

An Egyptian soldier, serving in Europe, sent a letter home to his family asking how they are doing, how they are coping, and hoping for their good health. While this could be from any year, this letter is from around 1,800 years ago from a soldier named Aurelius Polion and was found outside of a temple in the Egyptian town of Tebtunis.

While much of the letter has been destroyed by the elements, enough remains to provide a tangible clue about ancient Egyptian life.

This letter is addressed to his mother, sister, and brother. It says “I pray you are in good health….I do not cease writing to you.” The author’s mom is a seller of bread and the letters also talk about the family business. The letters take a sharper tone as the author talks about sending six past letters without a reply sparking some archaeologists to speculate on a family rift.

In addition to this letter, numerous other papyri were located nearby and translation is commencing on those specimens.

Generations have passed and these priceless specimens lay beneath people’s feet. What amazing treasures or items lay undiscovered near you?

A great day of fishing!

Palestinian fisherman Joudat Ghrab could not understand what he was seeing. While fishing he spied something dark underwater while fishing.

Could it be a body or a strange shaped rock?

After diving, he noticed it was a statue, a rather large statue which was made of metal. Most statues are of stone but this was a unique metal example of The God Apollo which was cast sometime between the 5^th and 1^st century BC.

Some doubt has been cast over the discovery as some archaeologists claim this 500-kg statue is too well preserved for a statue retrieved from the ocean.

Until true ownership is determined, the family holds out hopes that they will be rewarded for this spectacular find.

What is this amazing specimen worth?

This was put on an auction site for a price of $500,000 but was removed. It is believed to be worth ten times that amount at a minimum.

Another treasure found near someone's home, what treasures could be near you?

An amazing find from the automotive history books!!!!

We at treasureswithin10.com receive a lot of inquiries about our claim of:

“There is enough treasure within 10 miles of where you are now to make you fabulously wealthy.” (Paraphrased from our co-worker Johann Von Wera)

So many people misunderstand our assertion that there are many treasures close to anyone no matter where they live.

Could a treasure be near you?

What if an amazing treasure was forgotten in a barn or garage near you?

For over 100 years, an amazing find was sitting forgotten in a garage in Europe. The founder of the Porsche name, Ferdinand Porsche designed a car named the Egger-Lohner (nick named the P-1 by its creator) which looked more like a wagon than a car. It was powered by a 3 horsepower electric motor set in the rear which drove a 12 speed control unit. Weighing nearly 3,000 lbs., this car could travel nearly 50 miles on a charge and reach 21 mph.

This car first hit the roads in 1898 and it is believed that this specimen has been locked away for nearly all of the 112 years.

This model was ahead of its time as it won a 24 mile car race while holding three passengers. It finished 18 minutes ahead of the other racers. Ferdinand Porsche would work for other firms before starting his own company in 1948.

This vehicle is now in a museum in Stuttgart, Germany.

What could this item be worth? Many experts say this vehicle is worth at least $500,000 and possibly more.

An amazing treasure....an amazing court battle

One of the greatest joys that I have working on my true stories of treasure tales are the amazing stories involved.

During the closing years of World War II, a holocaust survivor named Riven Flamenbaum found an amazing treasure…or was presented an amazing treasure in Germany. He claimed that a Russian Soldier presented him with a small golden tablet, about the size of a credit card.   

While members of the family remember hearing the story differently, Riven was either given this object by a soldier after losing his family during the war or he traded cigarettes for this item.

This 9.5 gram tablet was excavated by German archaeologists from the Ishtar Temple in present day Iraq. Experts state the tablet is from around 1230 B.C. during the reign of King Tukulti-Ninura I of Assyria. It was on display in Berlin in 1934 but was later put in storage and disappeared during the war.

Riven reportedly showed this tablet to Christie’s auction house in 1954 but that it was declared a fake. From that point on, Mr. Flamenbaum only stored this item keeping it hidden away in a safety deposit box. The current value of this tablet is reported to be $10 million.

The estate of Riven Flamenbaum is now fighting for the right to keep this item in New York State’s Court of Appeals.

NOTE: The Court of Appeals has come back with a decision. This tablet must be returned to Berlin’s Vorderasiatisches Museum as this item is considered an item looted during the war and rightfully belongs to the museum.
