Some Yamashita Treasures hunters were even willing to risk their lives to find the famous treasure. Two Filipinos were buried alive in the southern Philippine city of General Santos when an 8-m-deep tunnel they were digging caved in.

American treasure hunters claimed that Yamashita made use of war prisoners to bury part of the booty in booby-trapped underground chambers near Manila. The chambers were then sealed, trapping the prisoners inside

stone from weeds and tomb raiders. The shrine lies on the lower slopes of a

However, as the Pacific War progressed, Allied submarines and aircraft took a heavy toll on Japan's shipping. The Japanese then took the treasure and hid it in caves and underground complexes throughout the Philippines, hoping to recover it after the war was over. However, many of those who knew of the locations of the loot were either executed or incarcerated for war crimes, including Yamashita. Thus, the whereabouts of the treasure were lost.

The "gold" is believed to have been anything from gold bullion to religious statues. The theory is that the treasure from Asia was to finance Japan's war effort. The treasure had to be transported from the continent back to Japan, via the sea. Most of the stolen treasure from South East Asia was first shipped to the port of Singapore, where it was then relayed to the Philippines. From the Philippines, it was intended, the treasure would be shipped to the Japanese home islands.

The gold and other valuables were stolen from East and Southeast Asia by Japanese forces during World War II and supposedly hidden in the Philippines. Many people believe the reports of hidden treasure to be an urban legend, but the theory has its supporters among some respected researchers and historians. There are still many treasure hunters who comb the Philippine countryside in search of the treasure.

General Tomoyuki Yamashita, is said to have ordered the concealment of the treasure as he retreated from US forces, breaking the treasure, said to have been carried on several trucks, into many smaller stashes that were hidden along the line of his retreat on the island Luzon, the bulk of the stashes are said to be concentrated in the mountainous area where Yamashita made his last stand against the invading US troops, before his eventual surrender on September 2, 1945.

Gold Warrior Book:

Absolutely astonishing book - into the 2 CDs of supporting material (such as scans of maps made by the Japanese military showing where the gold was hidden in the Phillipines & all the boobytraps

A lot of this makes sense, intuitively. For example, where in the heck did Ferdinand & Imelda Marcos get all of that wealth? I've read that they "looted the Phillipine people" - hello? Where did the Phillipine people get billions of dollars (American) to loot in the first place?

YAMASHITA GOLD Book :

This is a terrific adventure story! The story begins much like a Harvard business school case study - an interesting business opportunity is being reviewed. Then, after a few chapters, the reader begins to sense genuine Evil lurking in the intentions and actions of the main character's business partners. The author "leaves you hanging" with a knot in your stomach until the end of the story, when the many sub-plots converge to reveal greed and obsession beyond imagining.
