The 15 Most Wanted Lost Things In The World
People lose things all the time; keys, phones, and in my mom’s case, dentures. But most of the time, we
just write those things off and buy a new one. However, you can’t write off any of the items in today’s
list. Though some of these items are probably lost forever, it hasn’t stopped some treasure hunters from
looking for them. Especially the item on number one which is probably the most sought after lost
artifact in the world. Find out more as we give you 15 of the most wanted lost things in the world.

15. The Amber Room
The Amber Room is one of those lost treasures that must have been a sight to behold. It was
constructed in the 18 th century in the Catherine Palace in Tsarkoe Selo, just a stone’s throw away from
St. Petersburg, Russia.
The Amber Room was the epitome of opulence and contained gold-gilded mosaics, mirrors and carvings,
along with panels constructed out of about 1,000 pounds of amber. Unfortunately, Hitler came and
ruined all of that.
Tsarskoe Selo was captured by Germany in 1941, during World War II, and the room's panels and art
were disassembled and taken to Germany. They haven't been seen since, and it's possible, they are now
destroyed. Although a re-creation of the Amber Room can be seen today in the Catherine Palace,
nothing can beat the original.

14. The Honjo Masamune Sword
There are many renowned swords in Japanese history, but nothing comes even close to the legend that
is the Honjo Masamune. It said to have been created by the swordsmith Gorō Nyūdō Masamune,
considered by many to be the greatest sword maker in Japanese history. It is named after one of its
owners, Honjo Shigenaga, who took it as a prize after a 16th-century battle. The sword came into the
possession of Tokugawa Ieyasu, a leader who became the first shogun of Japan, after winning a series of
wars in the 16th century.
The sword would be passed down through the Tokugawa family until the end of World War II during the
American occupation of Japan. The sword was confiscated by the Americans, along with all other
swords, fearing that they would be used as weapons against the Americans. It's possible that American
soldiers destroyed the sword, along with other captured Japanese weapons; or they may have brought
the sword to America, meaning it could be re-discovered.

13. The Crown Jewels of Ireland
Stolen in 1907 from Dublin Castle, the "crown jewels of Ireland" weren’t actually crown jewels in a
sense. The collection didn’t even have a crown, nor it connected with any coronation ceremony. Rather,
they comprised a jeweled star of the Order of St. Patrick and a diamond brooch and five gold collars of
that order

The Order of St. Patrick was founded in 1783, to reward those in high office in Ireland and Irish peers —
referred to as Knights' companions — who were big supporters of the government. Britain controlled
Ireland at the time the crown jewels were created.
Why the jewels were stolen isn’t much of a mystery, as they were kept in a library. Who stole the jewels
and what happened to them are the mysteries. A wide range of people including Francis Shackleton,
brother of the famous explorer Ernest Shackleton, have been suspected of pulling off the heist.

12. The Florentine Diamond
Boasting 133 carats, the Florentine Diamond was the largest pink gem of its type in the world. The
diamond's origins are a complete mystery, as well as its current whereabouts.
In November 1918, the royal family of Hapsburg had it, but they found themselves in the losing end of
World War I. The family deposited the pink gem in a bank vault in Switzerland, entrusting it to an
Austrian lawyer named Bruno Steiner, who was supposed to help the deposed royal family sell it and
other royal jewels.
What happened next remains unclear. There are news reports published in 1924 that indicate that
Steiner was arrested, charged with fraud and acquitted. It's possible that the Florentine Diamond was
recut sometime after World War I and is now a series of smaller diamonds. If that’s the case, this is one
treasure that we’ve definitely lost forever.
