The Most Famous Lost Treasure Of The Middle Ages | Myth Hunters 

"after being hit on the head he had a vision" I think that's called a concussion

Montezuma was not killed by the Spanish, he was stoned to death by his own people. He was eventually taken hostage by the Spanish soldiers, after Cortez had left with a few men to go back to the seaside camp for some reason and when he got back he found out all hell had broken loose. The soldiers ended up being imprisoned inside the palace they had been allowed to stay in, when they took Montezuma. When Cortez got back it was hard for him to get back in, but he eventually did and that's when he found out what happened. the Aztecs were starving them out, and had filled the kings place with his brother. Cortez sent Montezuma out to his people thinking they would pay attention to him. He tried to calm then down, but he had been replaced because he was seen as weak and his own people stoned him to death. The Spanish then made a run for it at night with makeshift bridges of planks of wood to cross the causeways that the Aztecs had broken. but they didn't get far because they were greedy and had tried to take all the treasure with them. the special ops aztec warriors killed nearly all of them, but a few including Cortez , survived and sailed back to Spain. He did of course go back with an armada a few years later, by which time the Aztecs had been nearly wiped out by the smallpox the first Spanish had brought in. This treasure hiding must have happened during the time in between the first discovery of the Aztecs and the second return of Cortez. It certainly was not under the command of Montezuma but his brother. You guys need to watch your history better. Someone else commenting here, it was his nephew. my history program said brother, but it doesn't matter.

A strangely unshaven man comes to town. Photo of the townfolk: Everyone has beards

Here in Mexico we all know the lost treasure of Tlatoani Motecuhzoma Xocoyotzin was found when they built Line 3 of the Metro. It was located in Hidalgo Station, former president José López Portillo confiscated it.

if they drain the lake they'll find a tunnel that leads (eventually) to collapsed tunnnels on Oak Island. I'm sure of it - and I'm also strangely unshaven.

Am I the only one who's like, "I'm pirate enough to go find that shit!"

Utah is a long long way from Tenochtitlan. Can't see why, if they had an treasure to hide, that the Aztecs would travel that far to hide it.

You want to find a treasure,and you tell everyone😅😅

Montezuma looks exactly like Ghadaffi

Crazy guy driven by rumours, hallucinations and avarice. 🤷‍♀️

They're so focused on gold that they didn't think finding those people was amazing?! Oh, they're 2000years too early boo. What if the Aztec have a different idea what treasure is? What if the bones of those people are the treasure? What if the snail is the treasure? Or the lake? Or the land itself? They are so focused on what they 🤔 think it is they're missing out on everything else

Cowhide Adams is my favorite name in history.

*A wonderful historical, myth, and hunt adventure!*

THE WHOLE THEORY BASED ON A VISION FROM FREDDY???? 😢 COMON BRO!!! OMG FK

With a ton of treasure.. LOL! History Channel content here.

This is so interesting. I believe there are still much treasures still buried over the world.

It was a wonderful story and thrilled watching documentary about myths hunting adventures..thanks🙏 (History Hit) channel.

I love historical documentaries, I love documentaries of all types, and I'm grateful to the ppl of youtube for posting so many. But I do question some of them and their historical accuracy sometimes, never the less they are fun and interesting. But this is more folklore, I mean really? Some guy gets hit in the head and sees things is basis for a documentary?... Well. At least it's not saying Lincon was black... Or a woman!

Just imagine the amount of gold that former civilizations have hidden through centuries.?.

My uncle “corn pop” got kicked in the head by a horse. Had the same visions……😊

I can't roll my eyes any harder, and I'm LDS.

What "lost treasure"? The Spaniards got it all. There is NO evidence it "vanished without a trace". It was melted down and sent to Spain. Really very simple.

Truly enjoyed this ..thank you..educational. 👍

one of the greatest Red Herring stories since the oak island BS.

Shenanigans!

I love legends like these! It allows the mind to create the what if's situations. Great stuff for a creative mind. And how I wish I had the guts to go chase after and find treasure!

More Joe Smith golden plates... should have dropped this on April 1st.

😮 The true history behind the phrase "Montezuma's revenge".

I seriously doubt Aztec gold would have traveled from South America to Utah. it's not like they had highways or alien ships in those days that would have helped them. Likely it is in the norther area of south America at best. There was a whole massive mountain range to hide it. If they actually managed to move a portion of it that far up the continents, it was to perpetuate a ruse. A few token pieces of gold at most to throw anyone off the trail. Jmo.

They claim aztecs stole their own gold 😂

When I was a kid this story was that the gold was melted down by Cortez and taken back to Spain. BTW the route taken north shows crossing the Rio Grande and heading north in land with very little water. Not possible at all. They would have followed the river north. You need to get out and see this country and you would understand.

There isn't no curse keeping you from donuts now, is their?

Nice show. Very interesting.

True or Not, I don't know, but very enjoyable.

"They were seeing all kinds of ghostly figures..." "Have they awoken an army of Aztec warriors?" That's it. I'm off.

montezuma's revenge, comes north

Great video

Great documentary but my god what’s with the 500 adverts

Moctezuma is the dudes name.

They brought a SNAIL so to guard the treasure ??? Wtaf ? How did they know fish &wildlife would have such power lol.

What kind of prospector rides a bike?

Sorry, the side kickstand you show on his bicycle was not invented until 1926. History counts.

Strange... I was taught that Montezuma was strained and before that filled a chamber full with gold for the Spaniards

wow i had no idea people DIDNT understand what a dreaming nightmares is it in the 1800 .. -.- want a tip what it is? it is meant when you dream about stuff that makes no sense, like your bed is a ship hangar that has planes on them and you must defend your self against the enemy ship.. yup it has happened me a lot

I believe the theory that the gold was used to found the Mormon church.

The spanish conquorors may have melted it down, which would then possibly put it in the hold of a sunken gallion.

I think the treasure was all dumped in the lake

The Astez (Mechicans) are actually from that region , they came south into now Mexico area and conquered those people and they brought back their last treasure Home.

If you can differentiate between fact's and entertainment, enjoy.

The very wiseman once said: "Gold is the devil relics."

Well, I watch a lot of shows on ancient American dwellings & art so I’ll be watching for that petroglyph. And I’ve spent time in that particular area. 😁

Do all American documentary makers go to the same school? Constant dramatic music, jerking the camera around, banging drums all over the place, jump cuts, needless repetion, flash flash flash... I don't see how they could make it any harder to watch if they tried. TV in the States is a stressful experience.

Why on earth would montezuma take the gold all that way to hide it ? It's way out of his area of influence. If he did hide it, he'd have taken it somewhere much closer. After all, it's not easy to move tons of gold and jewels, so why move it thousands of miles. Answer, you don't. Looks like Freddie was mad after all.

1:35 One consolation: you have found the Burger King on the street corner. Isn't that also a treasure in itself?

Blind Frog Ranch... Is that far away...?

Thanks for the laugh, what a bunch of clowns.

Sattelites ground penetrating radar could help locate the Aztec haul. If it's there, it'll be found. If it's haunted, then you'll need an Exorcist Catholic Priest to clean out the area before the area is worked.

Imagine digging for hidden treasures for 2 years, then being told the treasure is actually buried under the spoil heap you made with the dirt. I burst out laughing, and still laughing trying to imagine the look on their faces when he told them. He disappeared without trace ! Just stop, I cant take anymore ! Best laugh all year .

Sorry but your talking about the Mexica (me-shi-ca) the descendants of the Aztec people 100s of years before them Cortez conquered the Mexica not the Aztec but nice video

I wonder is this town anywhere near blind frog Ranch if you heard about Dwayne Dellinger I think his name is who is looking for this treasure boy is he in for a surprise if he is looking😊

NO one will ever find the treasure.

The treasure fell into the lake during La Noche Triste. It saved the conquistadors fleeing the city due to the Indians stopping to collect the loot. Where it went after that is anyone’s guess.

Where is this lake located

NOT Montesuma...MOCTEZUMA. Not Aztalan...AZTLÁN. This, after the introduction.

The American Southwest has attracted guys like Freddy for the 150 years or maybe longer all ways a lost treasure or mine. The stories are in damn near every town and too many to count

Nobody wants to go to Kanab. 😂

I wonder if I am related to these people as I am also a Judd

Great story but I'm not convinced, it going to take a bit more for me to believe in ancient ghosts , maybe I'm just a none believer.

Wow

good video

I really can't watch this , im wanting that gold more than those before .

If there is that much gold in there i think i will hire Indiana Jones, he can have a nice cut😁

Why? Why do we do this? Cortez needed to defeat the Aztec so the fat king would give them a place to have a port. Sorry but the Aztec didn't didn't value gold very much. Cortez killed matazuma, which destabilized the aztecs. Anyone honestly think apache, Navaho, Comanche or any of the other tribes in this area just let the aztecs walk in there area?

wow

I'm choosing one

Treasure has been found!!!! Uranus Missouri!

More than likely the spanish got it already, its probably in the san jose at the bottom of the ocean...

I believe the treasure is at area 51 0r the grassy knoll

From the items they found within that cave, it sounds to me like the Spaniards found the treasure and probably shipped it to their own country. Could even be the sunken Nuestra Señora de Atocha.... =9

Explore Golgumbaz Deccan india 🇮🇳

The aztec gold /treasure is buried under present day mexico city. What part of it that hast already been discovered.

🏹 Possibly the best Documentary on the subject. I've wondered why they didn't take more time to focus on the People the Treasures belong to, and to apply Quantum Physics Science to defining the very obvious energies around the subject. One must apply their Higher Mind, rather than assuming through their Lower Mind. ☀️ I hope to see the art of the artifacts, in a Museum owned by and on Aztec land, one day. 🔺☀️🏹

it was already found in a butte on military land

Try using a underwater drone

Boy I had to roll up my pant legs for the flood of bullshit when they investigated the lake what a fish tale.

It sound like a story concocted by conquistadors who were unwilling to share the treasure with the Spanish Crown.

Question..... how could that area sustain 5000 Indians? G the resources necessary to do that would be massive. It's a myth.

IT"S NIT !!

So the historical basis for this story is a miner with a TBI. 🤔😅

So stopped by a snail... Got it.

The actual vast majority is buried somewhere in California.

Lol Lon child commmmon man the golden snail lol

Utah? Come on...

Its been found already

I was kinda into it until the "Golden Snail" theory.... 43:55 then it just got stupid

all the treasure stories have been solved. there is no large golden treasure left. the ground penetrating safelights can see into all things the ground your house the water you name it. look at how many ship recks have been found in the last 5 yrs. call the last treasure find expedition.

The Opening Scenes of the first Indiana Jones movie depicts this event. Aztlan was definitely in that area, the main part of it was to the east. The University of Southern Utah has done extensive work in that area, much of it prior to the construction of Lake Powell. They were very much aware of the fact that there was a huge Native American presence who were forced to migrate South into the Valley of the Sun where they became mercenaries for the Olmec's. They ultimately conquered the peace loving Olmec's and that was the birth of the Aztec Nation.

Interesting an Indian shows up. tells them the treasure is there. Then tells them someone will come later!

You'll be lucky! Spanish took it all !

If? any single spanish artifacts got found? Per the visiom. Everything could be a version of true. The lord works in his own way.
