Treasure of Lima
Okay kiddo, so there is this thing called the Treasure of Lima. A very long time ago in the 1800s, there was a big war between Spain and some of its colonies in South America. During the war, Spain had to move a lot of its treasure, which is basically gold and other valuable stuff, to a safer place.
So they decided to load up a big ship called the Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes with all their treasure and send it back to Spain. But unfortunately, the ship was attacked and sunk by another country's navy. This means that all the valuable treasure sank to the bottom of the ocean!
Now, many years later, people are still looking for the treasure of the Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes. Some people believe that they know where it is located, near the coast of Peru. But it's not an easy thing to find, because the ocean is really really deep and it's been so long that the treasure could be covered by sand or corals.
So some people are trying to use special technology, like underwater robots, to find the treasure. But it's also a very expensive and dangerous thing to do, because you have to be careful not to damage the shipwreck or the environment.
In any case, if someone is able to find the Treasure of Lima, it would be worth millions of dollars! But also, it's important to remember that any treasure that was taken from another country, like Spain did with its colonies, should probably be returned to its rightful owners.
