I have no idea whether there's anything in this story. But it's pretty fascinating.

Anyway, it's our duty to spread the word before the authors mysteriously disappear.

'The Cryptonomicon' by Neal Stephenson is a fantastic mixture of Thriller, Computer Hacker Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Cryptography about Yamashita's Gold. It is a great read from each of those angles.

Doubtful that would happen, this story has been around for years.

Who Has Yamashita's Gold?

It was buried on the grassy knoll.

Ferdinand Marcos always insisted he hadn't gained his fortune through corruption. He claimed to have found a cave full of Japanese treasure. Maybe he really was an honest dictator after all!

The Seagraves correctly felt that their account is so astounding that readers might think that it is fiction.

To overcome this problem, they are making two CDs containing more than 900 megabytes of documents, maps and photographs available to any one who wants them. They can be ordered from their website—

Nothing sez "Wild Goose Chase" louder than an offer to sell the "treasure map".
