The world of Treasure

The world is full of hidden treasure. Buried under the ground, hidden away in secret places or locked away in tombs.Those treasures are waiting for somebody to find them.
The rulers of early civilization liked to own lots of precious metals, jem stones, gold jewels and unique collections. All these precious items made them feel special. But the accumulated wealth by these people were eyed by other people who want to grab these items at any cost.
So, the riches hid away their treasure and when they died they took the treaure to their graves with them.
Not all treaure was buried to hide. Sometimes it was dropped or lost by mistake also, and sometimes, these treaures were buried along with whole towns and cities due to the natural calamities like earthquakes, volcanoes etc.
Pirates also often hid their stolen items, but many were caught or killed before attempting to go back and find them.
Sometimes buccaneers (pirates or adventurers) lost the treaure maps that thry'd drwan to show them where to find! Most hidden treasure is dug up soon after it was buried, but a lot more isn't found yet and still hidden to this vety day waiting for some lucky people to grab them.
Some of the oldest treasures in the world was found in Ur, an ancient city in Mesopatomia (now called Iraq). More than Five thousand years ago, Ur was one of the most important cities in the world. Then it was invaded by enmies and taken over. They stole its treaure and left the city to fall to pieces.
In 1922, an arecheologist called Leonard Woolly decided to search for Ur' long-lost treaures. For nearly five years he worked, digging up one grave after another, but found nothing. Finally when he decided to wind up thinking that the treaure must have been stolen, he hit gold!
One day Woolley found an amazing tomb. Buried in it was one of the queens of Ur. The queen's bones were still in the tomb. There was headdress which had gold rings, leaves and flowers. The queen's black wig was covered with gold leaves too and thse were tipped with lovely reddish-white stones.
There was a wig that had a comb still in it and was decorated with golden flowers. Nearby were golden earrings and huge necklaces made of gold, silver and beautiful stones. Out side the tomb, Woolley found some writing "Pu-abi" the name of the queen!
