Researchers have confirmed the identity of the Spanish galleon San José, a shipwreck lost for centuries after sinking in a battle with the Royal Navy. The ship, often referred to as the "Holy Grail of Shipwrecks," is known for its vast hoard of gold, silver, and emeralds, with an estimated fortune valued at $17 billion. The discovery was supported by the finding of coins that verified the ship's identity. The San José sank off the coast of Colombia, and new images have revealed the treasure still underwater. Separately, a 300-year-old shipwreck carrying a large treasure, which was plundered by pirates, has been discovered off the coast of Madagascar. This find is linked to the pirate "El Gavilán" and was guided by a mysterious cryptogram indicating the treasure's route. Additionally, there have been discoveries of ancient treasures in Greece, including dozens of artifacts recently uncovered. Other notable archaeological findings include a metal detectorist accidentally discovering the ancient armor of a Trojan War veteran, and researchers claiming to have found a mysterious message "from Moses" in an ancient Egyptian mine. Archaeologists have also deciphered the mystery of a shipwreck that sank 250 years ago in northern Scotland, and a rare Egyptian detail was identified in a piece of art that had been overlooked in a museum for decades.
