Archeologists Discover $17 Billion Treasure

Most of the artifacts in world-class museums today are the results of successful treasure hunting; however, in 2015, an unconventional "treasure hunt" led to the discovery of long-lost treasures. The discovery of the remains of a 300-year-old shipwreck says a lot about the history of Europe and South America, and it may have sparked a feud across both continents.

Today on Crunch you will be learning the history about the unanticipated discovery of the holy grail of shipwrecks, San Jose, and its $17 billion cargo.

As my husband is of Inca descent, I
may be just a bit prejudiced, but I think that the San Jose' along with all treasure looted from the native peoples of North and South America should rightfully belong to the tribes from whose land the treasure was taken!

It is the one that has the balls to pull it out of the ocean and call it MINE.

I always thought that the person who found the wreck had salvager’s rights…

[ernieibanezjr]

Spain is the rightful owner of the treasure because they own the ship named San Jose.The was just passing by Columbia when it was sunk by the British Armyw.

It belongs to whomever is the greediest. I thought it belonged to whomever discovered it. But perhaps i am wrong?

[suehaywood]

Well whom found it should be payed. For the treasurer should belong to whom it came from be it the present government of what county within it shore's.

Whatever unesco requests, do the opposite, the treasure belongs to Columbia, .
