World Treasures

World Treasures will be available once Evans mentions it after you rescue Fiona from the Tower of Babel. Getting them will give you rewards. Some world treasures aren't accessible until you found other world treasures, for instance Tania from New York City won't tell you the Bimini Road until you found the other world treasures in New York City.

IMPORTANT - I don't know if this is the correct order on getting the world treasures, but it surely has worked for me. It's an order from the first World Treasure I found to the last. If you follow it right, you should be able to get all of them.

A great temple built by the king of the time for his gold. Rumored to be over 3000 years old, the technical skill used to make the four massive statues at the entrance and the art of its rooms is shocking. they say twice a year the sun shines through the entrance to illuminate the statue.

No. 3
Informant: Abel in London Central
Altitude: Low & Mid
Location: Teotoburg Forest (southeast of London)
The ancient ruins and rocks of the old battlefield of Teotoburg Forest. With its dug grottoes and stone caskets, it seems it was used for some sort of ritual. The giant, towering stones in the forest must have seemed holy to the ancient peoples. An entirely austere scene.

Informant: Lloyd in Delhi Treasury
Altitude: Low & Mid
Location: Downstream of the Indus River (southwest of Delhi)
The ruins of an ancient brick city. The town was surrounded by ramparts, inside were beautifully laud out buildings. No matter where one looks, the town appears to have been built via design. Even more surprising, this town had sewers 4,400 years ago. London just got them recently.

Mysterious Lop Nar Lake
No. 26
Informant: Abdul in Delhi
Altitude: High & Mid
Location: Tarim Basin (northeast of Delhi)
Known as the "Mysterious Lake" or "Wandering Lake," the exact location of is difficult to place. As the river supplying the lake changed course over time, the position of the lake changed with it. As the name implies, the lake actually wandered the land.

Descend and travel around and you'll find it in no time.

Informant: Sally in Tokyo
Altitude: Low & Mid
Location: Great Barrier Reef, Australia (southeast of the world)

Tiwanaku
No. 48
Informant: Library in Rio de Janeiro
Altitude: Low & Mid
Location: The Andes (northwest of Tokar Village)
While the exact details of the structure are unknown, it appears to be a stone building made 1,000 years ago. Rumored to have once had a pyramid and walls decorated with human portraits, very little of Tiwanaku's original form exists today.

 

Serpent Mound

Serpent Mound
No. 40
Informant: Library in Rio de Janeiro
Altitude: Low & Mid
Location: East of Brush Creek Valley (southwest of New York)
A 0.2 mill long hill. I think it looks like a snake trying to swallow an egg. The mound appears to be a grave, though when the mound was built remains a mystery. They say the snake pattern was inspired by the constellations.

Informant: Library in Rio de Janeiro
Altitude: Low & Mid
Location: Murals of Sproat Lake (northwest of New York)

Location: Northern Edge of Newfoundland (northeast of New York)
The ruins of a house thought to have been built nearly 900 years ago. They say the Vikings built it when they traveled to the American Continent. They also say the ruins are a part of the legendary Vinland. It appears the house was only used a few years. I wonder why they left this area.

Old Faithful
No. 39
Informant: Robyn in New York Statue of Liberty
Altitude: Mid
Location: Central Rocky Mountains (west of New York)
A geyser situated 8,202ft above sea level. Hot water shoots out of the geyser every 90 minutes, reaching a height of 64ft. This geyser can be dangerous for airships flying low. And strangely, the ground in the area is made of yellow stone. I wonder if it's anything to do with the hot water.

No. 37
Informant: Hank in New York
Altitude: Low & Mid
Location: Porcupine Hills (northwest of New York)
A 59ft tall, 984ft wide cliff. The residents of this land used the cliff to hunt buffalo. I was surprised at the countless bones below the cliff. Though this hunt began nearly 5,000 years ago, it lasted until just recently.

Ruins of the houses of those that lived in the area tower over the Great Plains. The complex houses a sun-dried brick building that is split into 100 rooms, plus a nearby round plaza. The people are said to have all lived together. It must have been difficult securing water in this area.

Location: The Bahamas, Florida Sea (south of New York)
Stone ruins sunk into the Bimini seas. A J-shaped structure which appears to be a stone-paved road extends for 0.4 mile. Though now sunk in the ocean, at the time the road must have been on land. I don't know why the road sunk.

Informant: Miguel in Rio de Janeiro Inn 2F
Altitude: High
Location: Between the Nazca and Ingenio Rivers (northwest of Rio de Janeiro)
Giant pictures on the earth's surface, the age of which is unknown. The images seem to have been made just by moving rocks on the surface. At this big a size, the pictures wouldn't have been visible from the surface. I wonder how they were drawn.

 

Los Glaciares

Los Glaciares
No. 49
Informant: Lorenzo in Rio de Janeiro
Altitude: Mid
Location: South Edge of South America (southwest of Rio de Janeiro)
Beautiful blue glaciers. What makes these glaciers their distinctive blue is the fact that nearly no air is trapped within the ice. Since the area is not that cold, the glaciers melt and reform over time. The glaciers are also beautiful when they break into the nearby lake.

Ha'amonga 'a Maui
No. 34
Informant: Pedro in Rio de Janeiro
Altitude: Low & Mid
Location: Eastern edge of Tongatapu (little island southeast of the world)
A giant gate made of stone, called a "trilithon". Though thought to have been built 700 years ago, the reasons for its creation remain unknown. Still, there must have been an important reason for why people would pile such heavy rocks.

Yap Island
No. 30
Informant: Hisaharu in Tokyo Pagota
Altitude: Low & Mid
Location: Yap Island, Micronesia (southwest of Tokyo)
The people of this island preserve the traditions of the past. Even today they use rocks for money. However, rocks have no set value, instead their worth is determined by size and age. They say amidst these rocks are some rocks over a 1000 years old.

 

Borobudur Temple

Borobudur Temple
No. 29
Informant: Bob in Tokyo
Altitude: Low & Mid
Location: Central Java, Indonesia (southwest of Tokyo)
A giant temple built 1,100 years ago. Built by piling rocks atop a hill, its primary feature is the lack of open space inside the structure. It has no entrance and appears the same from every direction. Incredibly, over 10,000 carvings of human forms are found on the reliefs of its walls

No. 28
Informant: Leopold in Tokyo Kendo School
Altitude: Mid
Location: Northern China (west of Tokyo)
An exceedingly large structure running from a place called Shanhaiguan to over 3,728 miles to the west. Wherever you fly, the wall continues onward. Though it seems to have originally been built from earth, that which remains now was completed from fine stone 300 years ago.

 

Mogao Caves

Mogao Caves
No. 28
Informant: Chen in Tokyo
Altitude: Mid
Location: West of Hexi Huilang, East of Dunhuang (northwest of Tokyo)
Grottoes carved from the cliffs of the Mingsha Mountains. Countless caves spread over 0.6 miles of cliffs, featuring murals and statues made of earth. Digging for the caves begun about 1,400 years ago and lasted for hundreds of years, the caves were forgotten as the town faded away.

Tips : Like the Lop Nar Lake, this is a bit tricky. You'd have to fly in a high altitude northwest of Tokyo and find a place you can descend to medium altitude in the middle of the mountains. Looking at the pictures here should help you a lot.

 

Nan Madol Ruins

Nan Madol Ruins
No. 31
Informant: Heizaburo in Tokyo House
Altitude: Low & Mid
Location: Pohnpei, Micronesia (southeast of Tokyo, island below Mu)
The name "Nan Madol" means "between the earth and heavens." Ninety artificial islands were built around this island, and buildings atop them. It appears each island served a different purpose. Still, it must have been scary living atop an artificial island.

 

Kizhi Pogost

Kizhi Pogost
No. 07
Informant: Nicolay in Saint Petersburg
Altitude: Low & Mid
Location: Lake Onega (east of Saint Petersburg)
The original people here worshipped nature and seem to have used Kizhi as a festival site. Those that came after them used the site for festivals as well. The 121ft tall wooden church Kizhi Pogost features a beautiful onion-shaped dome.

Informant: Bela in Saint Petersburg
Altitude: Mid
Location: Orkney Islands (north of London)
A house built of stone during what appears to be the Neolithic era 5,000 years ago. Look closely to see what seem to be cabinets and shelves made of stone. It's even insulated with shells. It really makes you admire the living wisdom of those of the past.

Caribbean Shipwreck

Informant: Horacio in Tokar Village
Altitude: Low & Mid
Location: Caribbean Sea (south of New York)
The ruins of the ship rode by legendary pirate Captain Kidd. Though called a pirate, he is said to have collected treasure for the poor. Still, even someone that great couldn't win against a raging storm. I wonder what he thought when he realized his final moments would be aboard a ship.

A large building built of stone on a plateau over 3,281ft above sea level. The building appears to be home of those that ruled the villages in the area. It is thought that the peoples of West Asia such as the Phoenicians lived here at the time. Yes, people really do immigrate from that far!

Location: North Kalahari Desert (north of Cape Town)

Location: Midstream of the Niger River (southwest of Cairo)
A building said to be the grave of the emperor who governed this region 400 years ago. The 56ft pyramid structure is made of mud. Countless tree branches pierce its walls, making it look like a hedgehog. Could these branches have been meant as a protection.

Informant: Rachel in Cape Town Bar 1F
Altitude: Low & Mid
Location: Southern Ethiopian Highlands (southeast of Cairo)
A building thought to have been built nearly 700 years ago. Its greatest feature is that it was carved out of one massive rock. A building carved out of rock? Amazing! Its height, width, and depth all 39ft, this church appears to have some relation to Noah's Ark in Mt. Ararat.

Location: Southwest Arabian Peninsula (southeast of Cairo)

Location: Northeast of Tonle Sap Lake (southeast of Delhi)

Informant: Ros in Easter Islands North Island
Altitude: High
Location: Urubamba Valley Summit (northwest of Tokar Village)
The ruins of an Incan town. As it sits atop a large mountain, the city is visible via airship though it can't be seen from below. They appear to have had a temple. While it is odd that a town was built this high, it is more surprising that people were able to live here.

 

Bahrain Fort Ruins

Bahrain Fort Ruins
No. 17
Informant: Powell in Cape Town House 2F
Altitude: Low & Mid
Location: Northeast Bahrain Islands (southeast of Cairo)
The ruins of a fort built 400 years ago. Below these ruins even more ruins lie buried. It seems sacrilegious to have built a fort above such ruins. The oldest of the ruins are from a city built 4,000 years in the past, the ancient capital of the Dilmun civilization.

Mammoth of Wrangel Island
No. 10
Informant: Vihelm in Saint Petersburg Airship Dock
Altitude: Low & Mid
Location: Northeast Siberia (northeast of the world)
A giant mammoth sleeping just as it was when frozen. It overwhelms with such force you would think it about to move. It seems to have been moved to the Earth's surface by changes in the Earth's crust. What could possibly have caused the extinction of an animal as strong as this?

Carnac Stones
No. 02
Informant: Simon in London Adventurer's Association 2F

Location: Southern Italian Peninsula (northeast of Cairo)
The ruins of an ancient city that flourished 1,800 years ago. In one night, the whole town was buried under the ash of the massive eruption of nearby Mt. Vesuvius, and like that, destroyed. As the buildings were made of rocks, the outlines of the town remain to this very day.

 

Almendres Cromlech

Almendres Cromlech
No. 04
Informant: Theo in Merveille Village Inn
Altitude: Mid
Location: Evora, Iberian Peninsula (southwest of Merveille Village)
The gigantic, linear stone ruins in an area called Evore. Built nearly 7,000 years ago, the ruins are older than even Carnac and Stonehenge. The people of the time are said to have worshipped spirits and could have used Almendes for such rituals.

Statue of Zeus at Olympia

Statue of Zeus at Olympia
No. 05
Informant: Victor in London Bar
Altitude: Low & Mid
Location: Ocean Bottom, Western Greece (west of Acropolis)
All that remains of this giant sculpture is its legend. It was originally placed inside a large temple in this area. By looking at this 33ft tall statue, it's clear that the temple was even larger. Though submerged and stripped of its ornamentation, the statue still overflows with dignity today.
