Treasure hunting?

What would you do if you accidentally found pieces of different kinds of treasure? Probably the first thing that would strike your mind is you’re going to be rich of course. As I explored the internet today I read some news from BBCNEWS about the discovery of the treasure aging 1, 200 years old. The treasure is composed of 63, 000 pieces of silver, ceramics and gold which believed from the stories of Tang Dynasty emerging since the seventh and 10 centuries.

The fishermen who were living here in the Indian Ocean believe that there were underwater spirits that guards the wreck. In fact the fishermen sometimes were performing prayers and sacrificing animals like goat and spreading its blood everywhere as a sign of offering. We may never know the real reason why this incredible new discovered treasure came from, however there is really the real reason behind this story.
