Reason why chamber in $1,000,000,000,000 temple can never be opened by any human ever

If the rumors are true, you definitely don't want to go in there

A temple that's said to have a trillion dollars worth of treasure inside is unlikely to ever have one of its chambers opened.

The Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in India, a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu, has been branded as the richest temple in the world.

The infamous temple has a total of six vaults, but only five have been unsealed.

The vaults were uncovered in 2011 after the country's Supreme Court ordered them to be opened following a petition being put forward seeking transparency in the running of the historic building.

A court-appointed team went on to open five of the chambers and found piles of treasure including gold, silver, diamonds, and other precious stones.

But the final vault, dubbed Vault B, is still to be opened.

While it's not known what's inside the vault in question, it's believed that it contains the massive treasures that the temple collected during the rule of the Travancore king, as per The News Minute.

As to why it has not been opened, the temple management committee say that Vault B is guarded by supernatural powers and that anyone who tried to open it will suffer the consequences.

It's also been said that it's guarded by giant cobras, making the three-headed dog in Harry Potter seem quite friendly.

Elsewhere, it's rumored that Vault B somehow opens out to the Arabian Sea, The Times of India writes.

This story came about because, allegedly, some temple authorities who tried to once open the infamous chamber heard the sound of waves crashing.

But these claims have since been refuted by Auditor General Vinod Rai, who told the Supreme Court that the mysterious chamber has been opened at least seven times, to his knowledge, since 1990, Forbes said.

Nothing bad had happened since the alleged openings (but I personally still wouldn't risk it).

There are dozens of mysterious temples like Sree Padmanabhaswamy that are still being discovered to this day.

In fact, earlier this year, a group of students stumbled across a lost Mayan city by accident.

Luke Auld-Thomas, Ph.D. candidate in Archeology at Tulane University, made the discovery while on Google Maps.

Auld-Thomas said at the time: "I was on something like page 16 of Google search and found a laser survey done by a Mexican organization for environmental monitoring."

After processing the data, Auld-Thomas found that the survey had missed a huge city which is believed to have homed 30-50,000 people at its peak. It's been estimated to have been from 750 to 850 AD.

Easy mistake to make, I guess...
