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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Montezuma looks exactly like Ghadaffi

A wonderful historical, myth, and hunt adventure!

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

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

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

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

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!

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