2005 EXPEDITION: YAMASH-I-T-A ( JAPS) TREASURE
hi ssrjunkie, emily, wayne (no offense taken), thanks for replying...
actually, am doing the thesis as a report for a masters subject that i'm taking re found valuables in the phils and how they eventually end up. aside from being displayed in public and private places as donations, as govt and museum properties, or as private collection pieces, my assumption is that they are also sold to individuals/corporate entities (artifacts, relics, statues, bones) and/or deposited (jewelries, coins, bars, unset precious stones) in a bank, most likely an offshore bank like those in swiss and cayman islands.
i'm taking mgt courses, and since my professor wanted us to cover unusual case studies, i thought the yamashi-ta gold and its different disposal methods would be an interesting subject because it deals with history, treasure, government, technology, and culture among others. i do not wish to focus much on the yamashi-ta treasure story itself because i believe it has already been dissected as much as it could be. plus it is a hotly debated topic whether it still exists or not, and the consequences it presents if it does or does not exist, as well as the relative industries it created, whether legitimate (foreign investment in local th's teams) or not (forgeries, faked treasures).
my basis for this assumption is obviously on the allegations against the marcoses, and how they were allegedly able to manipulate hordes of the treasure into their offshore bank accounts. an obvious assumption is that most of the yamashi-ta treasure is still buried. i've also watched the natgeo special on the yamashi-ta legend, and from there i was able to make the assumption re using mining equipments on re-smelting the old bars into new bars as a way to 're-new' the bars, so to speak, the way marcos allegedly did.
in a way, the thesis is a synthesis on how the marcoses allegedly siphoned off the found treasure (theirs was on a grand scale) from the philippines and deposited them in several accounts, and the approach i wish to cover is on a lower scale, therefore on non-govt funded, independent th's... ergo, not as grand or dramatic as the marcoses alleged operations, but still sound enough to merit a second look.
i still have to go through seagate's book and materials though, so you may put the questions i posted before as part of my ignorance if they are already covered in his book.
i acknowledge that the procedures most th's use is strictly and highly confidential, and would appreciate if i get any private messages regarding additional info. my email is [email protected]
thank you so much for the positive feedback. i hope you all find your treasures.
