A new thrilling treasure hunt has just been launched for your brain
Have you always dreamed of discovering a treasure?Take action with this treasure hunt offered by Gallimard publishing, the tour operator Marco Vasco and the Guimet museum. Opened in September, this quest for the “Golden Naga”, a statuette in the shape of a Hindu deity, is worthy of a Beavers Juniors adventure. For 24 euros, on the game's website, you can order a box containing the explorer's map, Henri Mouhot's “secret notebook”, the 8 enigmas of the treasure, podcasts… But who is Henri Mouhot? It is to this renowned naturalist, who set off to explore the banks of the Mekong in 1860, that we owe this new treasure hunt. At that time, he discovered the temples of Angkor, the jewel of the Khmer kingdom, and the Golden Naga, an extraordinary treasure that he buried to protect it from looters. A few months later, he died, taking his secret with him to the grave.
