History is full of priceless stuff that somehow went from “carefully preserved cultural treasure” to “welp, nobody knows where it is.” Paintings vanished, jewels walked away, manuscripts disappeared, and entire fortunes seemingly fell off the face of the Earth.
Some were stolen. Some were lost during wars. Others simply became the subject of centuries-long arguments, rumors and increasingly desperate treasure hunts.
Here are some of the most famous things that disappeared without leaving so much as a forwarding address.
