Hunt for lost treasure of Yamashita is on

Rumours of secret maps, symbols carved in rocks and booby-trapped underground chambers filled with looted gold have lured treasure hunters to the Philippines for decades. They are drawn by a legend that Japanese occupying forces stashed away billions of dollars' worth of bullion and precious artefacts looted from across Asia when they realised their empire was collapsing in 1945.

Great article.
