Let me start with 2 of mine.
1. Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor (pic related, its buried 250ft. below that mountain of earth)
-I simply cannot wait for them to open that bad boy up. Rumored to have rivers of flowing mercury on a large scale map of his empire, and the constellations made out in precious gems on the ceiling, this tomb must be(have been?) incredible. This is also where the terracotta warriors were found, and all that was just a distant branch of the Tomb complex. Radar scans have shown it has not collapsed, and scientists have found high mercury levels in the area, lending credence to the myths.
2. The Tomb of Alexander the Great
-I just want that to be found. I really like Alexander. One of the ancient heroes who captured my imagination.
China will never allow for the mausoleum to be opened, the legend says that when those doors are opened, the chinese empire will fall, and no matter what is rumored to be inside, the Chinese just wouldn't have it.

So why don't you go there? Bring a shovel and hide between those trees and start digging brug.
Be the change you want to see in the world!

They are actually waiting for the advanced enough tech and procedure to do it right. they know they fucked up with the terracotta warriors, as the paint dried and crumbled to dust 10 minutes after they are dug out of the ground. it was only on the later ones they figured out climate control and humidity shit.

China is still an empire. You don't need an emperor to be an empire. Just like the USA.

The chinese empire died in 1911/1912
'11 was the start of the rebelion, '12 was the formation of the republic.
I'd like to see the hidden chamber in Tuts tomb for one.

Maybe it never needs to be opened to start with. The archeologists may study it using mind-boggling, new things like tricorders and shit.
I'm not sure about the shit part, though.

In other words, a perfect 3d modelling with VR or 3D printing etc. Question arises if a scientist needs to hold the actual item to feel "content".

but color tho
some more texts of Aristotle
shakespeare's "cardenio"

so many missing works I want to name. The other 8 parts of the Trojan epic, the missing sections of the epic of Gilgamesh, literally anything that may have been stored at the great library of Alexandria before the fire...
Tragedy, missing all that knowledge.
Found - gengis khan tomb
Explored - pluto as in a landing or long term orbit insertion

On top of not being an empire, the communists properly hate superstition. Feng shui was more or less outlawed for a while.

no shit, crack that mutha open
Alexander's body was taken by Ptolemy to Alexandria in order to legitimize his rule. He built a tomb for it, which remained visible until at least the mid 800s. It has since been lost, though there was a temple there in the 1600s, and the Egyptian government has identified its likely location. Caesar visited the body, as did Augustus, who is said to have placed flowers and a diadem on the coffin. Caligula looted the tomb, taking Alexander's breastplate, and Alexander Severus is supposed to have taken more items.
