The Treasure of Nadir Shah

In 1739, Nadir Shah invaded Delhi from Persia and looted the entire city. This reportedly saw him leave with a caravan of booty that was 150 miles long. That is a lot of treasure! On his way back to Persia, it is said that Nadir Shah was killed by Ahmad Shah, who then made off with the loot. Many think that Ahmad Shah buried all this treasure in tunnels around the Hindu Kush mountains. Although some has been found in the proceeding years, most of it still remains undiscovered.
