Most Valuable Lost Artifact in the World - Heirloom Seal of the Realm 

And the one that find it would be a dog and a junkie riding a van with his ground. While fighting a zombie emperor of china

Lmao

It was lost long before Europeans set foot in China. Watch the video again.

@@macrickRU-vid comments section must be a new place for you,😛...you will figure it eventually. Anyways lots of historical artifacts were "lost" before Europeans found them again for non Europeans

Yeah I was gonna say, it's very much like an eastern holy grail.

That’s still yes and no! There’s ways that history is known.

Classic made in China loot.

werent u paying attention? the original has a gold corner.

@@rksnote9635 All one would have to do is have one with a missing corner, and claim that the gold must have fallen off sometime in the last thousand years. You have the right idea, if one were presented with a gold corner intact, we could use the gold to verify authenticity, but someone trying to make a decent fake would know this, and probably just not have the corner.

Making gold corner would pay what few hundred euros?

There's a pot/vase found in Egypt that was carved out of corundum. It's perfectly symmetric too.

( this is a theory and not a fact) The past civilisations was more intelligent and powerful than we civilians think. The government/higher ups just don’t want us to know, why? I don’t know, and why do they teach us false history? I don’t know. If you guys are interested in this, just look up, past powerful advanced civilisations.

I am sure the seal saw more bloodshed than I will ever see in my life lol.

@@henryhao007 China has the biggest recorded body count in terms of people who've died in armed conflict throughout it's history, so definitely. Civil conflict makes up most of the body count, in fact, the Taiping rebellion/civil war alone has a midrange body count estimate of 45 million if Wikipedia is to be believed. (The Yellow Turban rebellion feels like a footnote to the Three Kingdoms period, but quite possibly saw a similar body count to the Napoleonic Wars)

The seal caused anger and jealousy more than friends. So I think this is an ironic analogy 😅

Their were more materials of this precious gem the imperial China have that time... It is not the only one of its kind functioning but perhaps 10 or 20 of the same and identical seal of one person craftsmanship only works for that seal... That was in my mind already. Remember China emperor were high I. Q... Not an idiots...

Actually the emperor would not use it at all. It will be kept in a safe vault unless the dynasty falls.

I've seen Chinese seals before. The words are curved directly onto the jade making the imprint of the seal actually a negative the of characters. This makes the bottom basically a solid piece. And jade is especially dense and hard so I doubt that it would wear. 🅰️

Maybe it’s in Gengis khan’s tomb...if we can find his tomb.

there’s a 99 percent chance its in some shipwreck somewhere in the ocean and it’ll never be found

LOL..It's probably used as a paperweight by some old English family that hasn't a clue what it is, because some ancestor plundered it from 'the orient' in the 17th century.

Haha I was thinking the exact same, and how the fuck could you even keep it? The top thieves would have endless amount of resources to take it from you.

I have the feeling they ended these feudalistic superstitions at latest during the cultural revolution period. If it really was such a big deal, I think, they would just carve up some knock-offs, like the Qing did.

@@nickyliu8762 "feudalistic supersititions" aren't something that can easily being scrubbed, and Xi Jinping's new slogan is the rejuvenation of China. Recovering the symbol of power in ancient China, is the greatest prestige one can hope for. If he fail to recover it when it resurface, his career will end. The Qing carve up the knock off to dilute the power of the symbolism, because the Qing felt threatened by it, since the Qing were "foreign" invader. Modern China is trying to recover the glory of the past, the seal perfectly fit the ambition.

@@godzillamothra5983 it's not like the chump that finds the jade seal automatically gets to be emperor of China. That's stupid! After all, the "mandate of heaven" is not some precious rock, but manifests as prosperity, peace and harmony under the heavens, and imo this much is true for the most part of todays's China. About your ridiculous allegation of a non-peaceful China going to war for random gems, the British and others have looted a lot of ancient Chinese national treasures and China didn't go to war for those. All the Chinese did was buying these back piece by piece

@@nickyliu8762 nobody said about anyone become the emperor of China just because they get the seal. What I said was that the seal has a very important symbol of power and prestige. Any Chinese leader who can recover this, will certainly bring prestige to the government. If you think of it as random gem, clearly you know nothing about Chinese history. No other treasure in Chinese history can be compared to this jade seal. Sure, if it ever resurface, Chinese gov will certainly try to get it back, either through political pressure or financial mean. And if the gov fail, the pressure to the Chinese gov from the Chinese people will tremendous. It is about the dignity of China, I wouldn't discount war. After all, in the past, people went to war over it. Imagine if the holy grail is discovered and it is in the hand of the ISIS, I bet the west will bomb the ISIS to pieces to recover it, LOL.

There was no emperor of China that died in 983. In 983, Taizong of Song was ruling in a golden age and had zero reasons to burn himself

@@Halestem I made a mistake here: the correct year when the seal was lost was 938 not 983. This emperor we r talking about is the emperor of “later tang” dynasty. His name is Congke Li “李从珂”.

@@zongtaoli7721 oh ok

This is only one theory of how it was lost. There are other theories. But who knows, it has been lost for so long. At least it’s more realistic than say the holy grail.

I heard of it as a kid possibly from Sui Tang Yan Yi (隋唐演义) via traditional stroytelling on radio.

@@AndorranStairway honestly, i dont know... Its literally the symbol of royalty. and whoever has this artifact would literally own china. that was how sacred it was. entire wars were fought over this piece of jade.

AHomieNoCap I assure you lol, modern day Greater China isn’t as superstitious and stupid as you might think. Besides, no Chinese state ever sacrificed their entire gross national product for this seal. That would be extremely dumb

@@AndorranStairway Wdym? I'm saying back then. 100s of years ago, whoever held this seal would essentially be on par with the emperor. It had so much cultural significance, and was pretty much treated as an artifact of the heavens. Plus it is made with an extremely precious jade. It's literally the holy grail of china. So... The price might be justified. Can't really say it is because we have not really seen something as significant as this valued before, so there is no basis of comparison. But its definitely worth A LOT. Remember back then having this seal would make you the son of God himself essentially if u think about it in more western terms.

@Muffinconsumer4 It's been 600 years. It could have had more pieces chipped off due to carelessness of not knowing exactly what it was or how important it was. Cracks from dropping it or dropping heavy things ON it... etc. Human carelessness and even aggression much like the lady that threw it before... can cause a lot of harm to even jade over the course of 600 years.

It's probably a few chunks of jade in a refuse pile somewhere.

@@cat_city2009 pile? its buried for sure

​@@CannaCult Id assume something that precious wouldnt be under some random person hands, or would be treated carelesssly as you say, but aye will never know.

it might been in one of the Chinese emperor grave underground as we speak

The people who possessed the seal knew of its power & value so I doubt they would destroy it fearing its power. It was probably hidden and re-hidden century after century. I think it is still out there hiding in plain sight. They need to keep an eye on the Tibetan Monks. If anyone is capable of keeping a secret for centuries it would be them. lol

odds are it was buried with the last person who held it or it was stolen. I doubt it even still exists

yeah, it was lost sometime during the song dynasty, maybe the mongols took it and probably did something with it..or maybe the song emperor destroyed it so that the mongols will not have the mandate of heaven..which kinda worked out since the yuan dynasty was very short-lived.

To the contrary, relevant, sometimes critically important history, is forgotten everyday. More often than you might suspect, some truly important and sometimes 'true' details of history are often known to only a handful of people present and/or physically involved at the time. For any of a number of justifiable reasons, this knowledge is often suppressed and thus 'forgotten' and lost with those persons' passing.

Lost in the time of the Mongols. Would not surprise me.

Well that's the big question. Traditionally with the exception of physical damage Jade is well known for retaining it's form very well as many personal seals of individual emperors have been found in damn near prestine condition despite being ancient. However if the seal were exposed to say... fire... the material would turn a black, brownish colour and it would be very difficult to tell. I'm also still a little confused as to why the seal was found in a well.

@@Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective Based on history books, a person carrying the seal suicided with jumping in a well. People got the corpse out not long after and found the seal. There are also sayings that a defeated warlord carried the seal and burned himself alive with the seal, so what you said about fire making it unrecognizable could be true.

@@yaqiwang5242 Bless you my friend that's great research though I'm still confused as to how or why the girl who committed suicide even had the Seal in the first place? I assume she stole it from Dong Zhuo but I can't find the books to read.

@@Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective it was a chaos time in the Three Kingdom period, the servants probably get his hands on it when Dong Zhuo invaded the capital, or the emperor ordered him to take it away in order to not lost it to Dong Zhuo, and the guy is probably wanted by all of the factions for holding the seal, so he suicided instead

@@Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective I can answer this very easily since I know three kingdoms history very well. Supposedly how this story goes or depends on anyone I guess. A maid or someone who live in the inner palace who work with the emperor decided to take the seal and plunged herself to the well so that Dong Zhuo doesn't get his hands on it since we know the man might of have imperial ambitions later on. Anyways Sun Jian being the first to arrive there in the ruined capital found the seal on accident cuz he didn't think there be anything left in that city. So they pull it out and he found the seal like that. So how this story goes is that Sun Jian maybe wanted to go back home or give it to Yuan Shu depend on history or the novel point of view. After Sun Jian died I'm guessing the son decided that the seal was better off with Yuan Shu tbh. Besides if anyone have that seal it be a death trap because back in those ancient days possessing that seal was against heaven itself only the emperor should have it no vassals. Afterward Yuan shu declared himself emperor unfortunately he did and got his ass beat completely by everyone. The seal ended up with Cao Cao I'm guessing since there were no detail records who kept that seal afterwards. Maybe China will try to find it but doubt it considering how long it may take

@@multatuli1 It's just a symbolic thing. In China, company seal or stamp - are mandatory for doing business and replace signatures that are used in Western countries. Without this seal cant sign any contracts or carry on businesses.

@@Trgn it's not symbolic if it's very important, like what you've said without it can't carry on the business right? lol

@@multatuli1 Because the seal is not so much a monarch only thing, normal people used it too. May be I was wrong to say a seal represents "authority" but probly more like "legitimacy".
