.... but some of the facts that i know is, they really had time to hide this things and properly planned how to bury them(lots of books about yam treas), larger deposits can reach depths up to 120 ft or more, .....
Treasure-seeker, I would love to take on your points one at a time, but the pages of this thread will start to get insanely deep. And/or I could them be accused of "badgering" you, etc.... So let's just cut to the chase. In your quote above, as you begin to spell out the history about whether or not this treasure is even there. And then ... how deep, cryptogram rock art clues, , etc.... You call them "Facts that you know...". Right ? Ok, where are you getting these "facts" from ?
I have a suspicion that all such things you're reading, are akin to sources, books, links, that would be akin to what Embrym posted. So I invite you to read my reply to him.
Example of questioning the source: I recall one time watching a TV episode of "America Unearthed". Each episode is a supposed hunt for some mysterious proofs of pre-Columbus explorations. Ie.: "The Chinese were mining copper in the Great lakes region in the 1200 to 1300's" or "The Vikings were in Texas and Utah in 700 AD", etc... I watched utterly spellbound at the tantalizing clues. I had no idea what this show was about. But ... the current week's topic was a cliff-hanger.
When the show was over, I went to google and started looking up for more info. on these various supposed hieroglyphs, structure foundations, tablets said to have been found, blah blah blah. All of which are spoken of in unquestioned terms during the show. They are just a "given", in the awesome conspiracy theory tone of the show. HOWEVER, a quick look at google, and it all falls apart. Each of the various components has long-since been debunked with more plausible explanations. But notice that side is not shown in the show. Why ? Because it won't sell ratings.
SO TOO do I suspect a lot of what passes as this Yamashita story, is nothing but telephone game gone awry. That has now made it into print. And since it's spun with so much true stuff (ie.: names of persons, dates, troop movements, thefts from countries, etc...) it becomes difficult to separate fact from fiction. It just SOUNDS so reasonable. Because it's riddled with points from actual historical fact.
Here's the problem though: If there's "no treasure", then IT WON'T MATTER how much else of the story is true. Ie.: there's no separating fact from fiction, IF the 1% false part is: That there's no treasure. Just like rat poison: 99% good grain and only 1% poison. Notice it doesn't matter if 99% of the grain is good. It's the 1% that fails you.
So ... just like my experience with American Unearthed: Where I was sucked into the tantalizing tale, so too is the Yamashita story IMHO And the Oak Island, the Lost Dutchman mine, the Pearl ship, etc.... It's possible to selectively write each story, spun in conspiratorial tabloid fashion way, that .... it's taken as fact. No one's looking at links that DISPROVE it or offer MORE PLAUSIBLE explanations.
So honestly ask yourself: What is the source of these "facts that you know" ? Why can't they simply be nothing more than the legend run amok. From starry eyed believers that went before you ? And as further proof of the term "starry eyed", forgive my saying this: But whenever someone is using dowsing as a treasure hunting tool, you will find that the entire story looses credibility by serious hunters. It falls into the immediate category of those hunting the Loch Ness Monster, big foot, etc .... Is that to say that a treasure DOESN'T exist ? No. But it's just saying that if magic wand methods are used for a certain treasure, then
even-the-treasure-itself will then become suspect. Because serious hunters now lump it in the same category as these other silly legends, stories, monsters, etc....
