“Hidden Horrors and Unbelievable Treasures: What Lies Behind Your Walls?”
One day, his wish came true when he unearthed the 1938 Action Comics #1 (Superman’s first appearance in a comic). “I knew it was worth money,” said Gonzalez, 34. “But I had no idea how much.” He put it on eBay and ended up making over $100k!
Love Is In The Walls
They say love is in the air, but sometimes you can find it in the walls. A brother and sister found something that’s straight out of a love movie, maybe The Notebook?
The siblings discovered 31 love letters written by a soldier from the early 1900s. They ended up returning the messages to the woman they were for, and that same lady turned out to be the man’s wife! Why would he hide those notes from the love of his life?
The Lost Leonardo
Artists love making things difficult for others sometimes, don’t they? While researchers spend countless hours dissecting what a piece of art may mean, Leonardo da Vinci may have hidden one significant painting behind another.
Maurizio Seracini, an art diagnostician, has had well over 36 years of researching this theory. “Since the very first day of my research, the goal was to find where ‘The Battle of Anghiari’ could have been painted … and if it’s still there,” Seracini said. While it isn’t set in stone yet that the painting is there, all signs point to it being behind a Giorgio Vasari mural in Florence, Italy.
