Columbia: They are historic Galleon with shipment of gold valued at $10,000 million

This book about the San Jose is not worth buying. At least 70 pages before it talks about the San Jose. It is more about the corruption in Spanish government and the conversion of currency. Too bad Amazon removed the negative comments about this book. Get it through inter-library loan rather than buy it.

Looks like TT was working around..perhaps explains some of the cash?

Groups have been searching for the San Jose for decades. It would be interesting to look at the SSA data and see exactly how they determined it was the San Jose.
There are many, many cases of Admiralty Arrests and claims of identification that have not proven to be correct.

While not applicable, quite a few recently have been shown to be fraudulent claims, as noted in this forum...

From the article, it appears Spain has approached Columbia in an amiable way, and given Spain's latest interest in search/recovery, this would be a very lucrative and archaeologically significant venture between the two countries.

Time to evolve, or become a casualty of evolution.

Hmmm...

Spain is presenting their cause or claiming to be protectors of all cultural heritage. They have new laser scanning technology, to scan artifacts and make a quality replica for public display, viewing. Big question, what happens to the original artifacts? Spain went to Egypt, made replicas of valuable artifacts at King Tut's Tomb. According to Spain, world artifacts exposed to the crowds of people visiting are endangered for environmental reasons or even could be looted. Biggest question yet, where will the original artifacts go or be sent for safe keeping? Hope the answer won't be to a world banking system, to be used as assets for issuing a global currency.
