One of the greatest treasure in the world is believed to General Yamashita gold hoard. The treasure was the spoils of war the Japanese army in Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries during World War II.

General Tomoyuki Yamashita was named Harimau Malaya. At the beginning of World War II Yamashita easily grab Singapore retained the combined British and allied forces.

30,000 130,000 Japanese army captured the British army, India and Australia. Throughout history, this is the record for most British troops surrendered.

But apparently in addition to fighting the Japanese empire imposes a special mission to General Yamashita. They were instructed to gather as much gold from the colonies.

There is a special organization called Kin No Yuri or the Golden Lily. Brother of Emperor Hirohito, Prince Yasuhito, believed to be president. They took the gold from Southeast Asia and then collecting it in the Philippines, recently shipped to Japan.

Already several times the delivery of gold and precious goods to Japan was successful. Of gold booty is Japanese finance the war in the Pacific. A battle fronts vast stretches of Manchuria to the Solomon Islands. Surely this is costing enormous.

But since 1943, the spoils can not be shipped to Japan. The reason, the Japanese fleet has been lost at sea.

They have no longer enough warships or warplanes to escort ships the gold to Japan. Allied fighter aircraft and submarine ready mengkaramkan Japanese ships passing by.

Around the year 1945, Japan had almost totally lost. Prince Yasuhito, General Yamashita and several other officials blow up tunnels and caves to cover loads of gold in caves underground.

The news circulating, there are about 6,000 tons of gold, and countless how many jewels and other treasures.

This new amount in the Philippines. Yet who are in Indonesia, Singapore, Burma, Malaya and elsewhere. Presumably there are many who can not be transported to the Philippines to be combined.

Decades, Yamashita gold is still a mystery. Hundreds of treasure hunters looking for him. A man named Rogelio Roxas claimed to have found the Buddha statues of diamonds and fine gold of Japanese tunnels in the Philippines. He guessed that this invention only a small portion of Emas Yamashita.
