"10 papal rings"
10 popes visited there????
Yours: "awesome story but don't trust a thing off the guardian.
Ditto."
Yeah, I know the tabloid scale of the Guardian is "very high" but I resemble that remark!
Note that Aussie ABC news has also picked up the story.

Perhaps there is something to it after all.
Imagine, 600 barrels of Incan Treasure! Indiana Jones, move over! I bet that Zacharia Sitchen would like to inspect those artifacts! Perhaps we will learn some of the secrets of where the Toltecs came from, or maybe there is a gold model of a spaceship in them thar barrels! We likely will never know if the Chilean Government confiscates it all.
