WHY SOUTHEAST ASIA?
You may be asking yourself, "Why Southeast Asia?" Well, we'll tell you why. This region has been the hub of a
prosperous maritime trading history for many centuries. Just about every type of exotic merchandise was
traded here - gold, silver, porcelain, precious stones, and the spices for which the region was renowned. It
attracted ships from as far away as Arabia, India, Europe, and the Americas. Though many of these ships
sailed safely back to their home ports, others were doomed to sink to a watery grave with great loss of life
and cargo.
Land treasures also flourish in the region. Why? Throughout the years, wars, sudden deaths, greed,
smuggling, tax evading, etc., we could go on, but we think that you get the point. There were many reasons
why a man or woman would want to hide his wealth (or, 'cache', as is known to treasure hunters). Oh, there
are many hidden cache's out there, more than you could ever imagine. Of course, some of these cache's
have been accidentally discovered by relatives, construction workers, etc., but most still remain hidden
exactly where they were deposited many years ago.
If you are interested in information concerning buried World War II treasure in
the Philippines - you have definitely come to the right place. You will find plenty of good information here
regarding this subject as the Philippines is one particular Southeast Asian country which has attracted the
interest of many individuals and Governments since the end of WWII and when the late President F. Marcos
himself even 'confessed' that some of his wealth had come from so-called "Yamashita's Gold".
During WWII, (according to several historians and researchers) the Japanese Imperial Army systematically
looted all the Southeast Asian countries of all their national treasures and shipped most of these looted
treasures back to the Philippines and buried it there. There were "officially" over 172 sites throughout the
Philippine archipelago, of which 34 of these treasure sites were "sea" sites. You can read more about these
treasures here. Hope you enjoy and good hunting to all of you!
