What Precious Things Are The World’s Safest Vaults Hiding Inside Them? Here’s What


If you ever believed that secret, tough-to-break-into or inaccessible locations existed in movies like Kingsman alone, or that no one could match Jason Bourne in marksmanship out of the virtual screen, you couldn't be more wrong. When it comes to government data, religious texts, historical evidences, billions of dollars in gold and diamond, or even seeds, people have created powerful security systems, so intricately designed that it will put superheroes to shame. Here's a list of some of the world's most difficult places to break into, even in your dreams. Fort Knox - Kentucky, U.S.A It is guarded by a team of heavily armed guards, electrified fences, a 22-tonne vault door and a password no one knows fully. What it guards: Home to the US Bullion Depository, Fort Knox not only stores thousands of tonnes of gold, but is also said to house important historical documents, such as the Magna Carta. If you plan on breaking into Fort Knox, like James Bond in Goldfinger, you have to get past four fences, two of which are electrified and then sneak past a team of armed guards. After avoiding all the video cameras on your way, you will need to blast through the four feet thick granite walls held together by 750 tonnes of steel. After all this, you will need to work your way through the maze of locked doors till you find a 22-tonne vault door. For the combination to the vault, all you need to do is find all the members of Fort Knox staff because every knows a small part of the combination - nobody knows the whole thing. If you are live through all of it, you are the world's new superhero.
