Maybe not treasures but some famous ships are still missing. It's true we've found most of them but there are a few still missing.

"The remaining 900 sailors were left bobbing helplessly in the shark-infested waters of the Philippine Sea. By the time they were accidentally spotted by a Navy plane and rescued four days later, all but 317 had perished from exposure and attacks by prowling hordes of oceanic whitetips."

God damn..

The Heirloom Seal of the Realm.

This is basically *the* Chinese crown jewel. It's the personal seal of Qin Shih Huangdi and was assed from emperor to emperor until some idiot lost it when the T'ang Dynasty fell in the 900's AD.

It's pretty much the greatest lost treasure in Chinese history since it symbolized the continuity of the Empire.

Pic unrelated. It's an Imperial Seal, but not the Heirloom Seal of the Realm. This one's an Emperor's Personal Seal from the Qing period.
