I literally just read about this guy last night for the first time then see him mentioned here. Weird.
I'd want to know what was lost in the Library of Alexandria.
Not any specfic event but I'd really love to know how advanced the most high tech ancient tools were. I bet they were way more sophisticated than we give them credit for. There have been some objects recovered that are built to such high tolerances that it's virtually impossible to make them by hand and we have no clue how they did those.
The antikythera mechanism blows my mind
- Cleopatra and Antony's tomb location(s) would be great, as well as Alexander the Great.
- Who the Sea People's were and why did they destroy all of the Mediterranean major civilizations during the bronze age (sans Egypt but they were severely weakened and would never recover)
- What happened to Legio IX?
- What the hell are Bears doing in the siege of Themiscyra??!
I try not to lose sleep over missing artifacts like the Ark of the Covenant or the Florentine Diamond cause they could just have been destroyed. Would be cool if they were discovered.
You may already be subscribed, OP, but Fall of Civilizations podcast did an episode of the Bronze Age Collapse. It's a great pod generally for history nerds.
I thoroughly enjoy their youtube channel, and didn't realize they also had a podcast. I'll definitely have to check it out
The Noss family treasure, featured in the documentary "Gold, Lies, & Videotape."
More than any other case, and I'm very much into mysteries, I would like to see resolution for this in my lifetime. This family deserves answers.
I'm still wondering about the Tomb of Genghis Khan, Nobody knows where Genghis Khan was buried and the people that were there were killed to keep him a secret, to keep where Genghis Khan"s body a secret.
What happened to the Kruger Millions? My cousin used to live near the Blyde River Canyon, and he would always have a story about a new group of treasure hunters who were sure they had figured it out. Obviously, no one ever did. And then a couple years ago, some coins from the era turned up in a Swiss bank vault. So did someone find the treasure? Was it ever actually buried in South Africa at all? WHO KNOWS!
The Voynich manuscript: is it an elaborate hoax? Is it real? What does it mean?
