An amazing find was made by a German amateur treasure hunter, whose name has not been reported. He wandered through one of the forests in western Germany with a mine detector in the Rhineland-Palatinate region, he found a treasure that, apparently, will shed light on the legend of the Nibelungs and their untold treasures.
Of course, the skepticism of scientists does not allow them to draw appropriate conclusions. The Nibelungs were a royal Burgundian dynasty who lived at that time in Worms on the left bank of the Rhine. (5th century BC).
According to legend, it was believed that the Nibelungs were the owners of untold treasures, there were rumors about whole mountains of gold and silver. The epic "Song of the Nibelungs" inspired Richard Wagner for four operas "Ring of the Nibelungs".
The find contains many silver bowls, brooches, ceremonial robes, small statues; the find is estimated at approximately 1 million euros.
The treasures were found near Rülzheim, the items may have belonged to a very wealthy nobleman or prince, were buried in a hurry by the owner himself or robbers who robbed him. There are doubts that the treasure hunter did not hand over the entire treasure, the prosecutor's office is checking the version whether he sold part of the finds abroad.
