| The Sunken Treasures from Egypt and Abyssinia |
The forgotten soldier-explorer's immense treasure
by Pascal Kainic
This ship had been especially chartered by a famous, but also controversial explorer returning to Europe after a 18 long years voyage of discoveries through Abyssinia, Middle East and Asia. All the fruits of his ventures had been loaded on this ship who was finally lost en route with all her contents.
Amongst various exotic goods was a consignment of 15 tons of silver coins; fine gold jewellery, precious stones, antiques from Petra (the mysterious city) and Egypt; cameos, precious statues in bronze, golden beetles, hieroglyphs, old inscriptions on bas-reliefs, and a whole library of books, manuscripts and works revealing amongst others, the Mysteries of Isis …
The shipwreck and all her contents are still lying in a bay, in shallow waters, untouched... Who will have the chance to discover this fantastic treasure wreck ? Archaeology should prevail on such an incredible cargo... Some mysteries could be revealed from the ancients...
The story comes from original archives, only known by a few people, but no group of salvors yet...
