Billions worth' of treasure found in Indian temple http://gboogie.net, http://internetmarketingpub.com read article below
A treasure trove of gold and silver jewelry, coins and precious stones said to be worth billions of dollars has been found in a Hindu temple in southern India, officials said..

The valuables have an estimated preliminary worth of over 500 billion rupees ($11.2 billion), said Kerala Chief Secretary K. Jayakumar, catapulting the temple into the league of India's richest temples.

The thousands of necklaces, coins and precious stones have been kept in at least five underground vaults at the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple which is renowned for its intricate sculptures.

"We are yet to open one more secret chamber which has not been opened for nearly 140 years," Jayakumar told AFP.

The actual value of the treasure haul can be ascertained only after it is examined by the archaeological department, said Jayakumar.

The temple, dedicated to Hindu lord Vishnu, was built hundreds of years ago by the king of Travancore and donations by devotees have been kept in the temple's vaults since.

A necklace found on Thursday was 18 feet (six metres) long. Thousands of gold coins have also been found.

Since India achieved independence from Britain in 1947, a trust managed by descendants of the Travancore royal family has controlled the temple. - created at http://animoto.com

  • India is the country of hard working people fooled by few Brahmins who made them extreme- religious to the extent they kept donating all their belongings to the temples for centuries, and only so clalled top-class got hold of such tremendous wealth throughout india, and ruled india along with other invaders. Now two economies exist here 1white economy and 2corrupted (black) economy.

    so 7% top people control 90% of money. while more than 50% people go hungry to lack of money evey day!! Shame.

  • rabin46,has a point to prove from history.History from the Islamic scholars themselves confirm this kind of looting and other records also there, of British looting from the temples most valuable jewels recorded.

    There is no need smearing in talks!

  • AND MOREOVER ALL THESE WEALTH IS STOLEN BY THE ENGLISH "WHITE MENS"(SIMILAR TO BRAHMINS IN INDIA) DURING 19 TH CENTURY.....

    DONT FORGET TO ADD THESE LINES.....

  • True Brahmins do not respect materialistic pleasure but uphold the moral and ethical principals of society. The only rule we must follow is to respect and not harm every living human, animal or plants and always speak the truth. The wealth donated by human does not belong to us and must not be touched by any human. Any one who thinks the wealth they found belongs to us "Human", are wrong because this must be shared with all the living creatures on this planet.

  • fabulouse it belong to owner

  • Not a single year goes-by without New-Baba in india amassing tremendous wealth and fulling poor indians with the blessings of Brahminical System. I suspect the same in the case of Mr. Kisan Hajare. Who appears to be fighting for good cause but actually sabotizing the unification of lower Indigenous Indians by helping Brahminical Rulers of this country not allowing Caste-Based-Census.

    where Next step will be Organisation and Demand For Power of Share>.

  • all the wealth of the Temples all over india should be seized and shold be used for the 500-600 million poor Indians. but they wont do it because top class controlling most of the political parties and in-turn rulling all walks of life in india dont care about millions going hurgry or on the brink of death. So wake up lower-classes and rise with Ambedkar Ideology to take control of this anciant country.

  • @dhilipphilip over the thousands of years the bible has been passed on from one kingship to the next, it is well known that the bible has been changed by man far too many times to take every word as it is. Where as in India it is widely known that the scriptures were not adapted nor changed, i too believe in Jesus Christ, he travelled to India also

  • @ragala3 is call jellous they tough to believe jesus was for real when it was krissna the savior & he will save humanity not only from death but from poverty as well much more treasures to be found in worldwide before 2012 .non believers will remain poor & go to prison,,& their hell will be envy..

  • @ragala3 chill out nigga
