1. Tutankhamun's tomb, Egypt.埃及图坦卡蒙法老墓

When it comes to treasure troves, it's hard to beat the tomb of this Egyptian pharaoh. Its discovery had all the ingredients of the intrepid expedition: an old-school British archaeologist (Howard Carter), rumors of a curse, and a treasure so vast that it took about a decade to empty the tomb. It was unearthed in 1922 after a seven-year hunt in Egypt's Valley of Kings. There, Carter found several secret chambers containing gilded statues, gold coffins and the pharaoh's iconic burial mask, which is now displayed at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

埃及图坦卡蒙(Tutankhamun)法老墓中发现的一口镀金石棺。探险队在埃及的国王谷搜索了七年时间，才在1922年发现了这座法老墓。在那里，卡特发现了几个密室，里面藏有镀金塑像、金棺和法老下葬时佩戴的标志性面具，目前这个面具陈列在位于开罗的埃及博物馆内。
