The most dangerous tombs to explore in the world are the thirty-five Tastan Tombs. The most dangerous of all is Tomb thirty-five, with the only person being able to make it out alive being Ramirez, and he just got lucky. But he told many tales of what he saw inside, like The Sleeping Woman who was laid there.
