Once again the treasure rumor mill has been working overtime. Like with all treasure legends it is hard to sort of the truth from the fiction.
A strange story that is developing in Malaysia:
One Newspaper report states below
The Malacca government has authorised a treasure hunt in Pulau Nangka, in search of gold thought to belong to the Malacca Sultanate. The rumours of treasure on the island seem to be more steeped in legend than fact, and according to Malaysia’s Heritage Commissioner, the state government does not have the authority to do authorise a hunt.
Treasures Said To Be Worth Billions Is Believed To Be Buried Inside A Cave On Pulau Nangka, A Tiny Island 17km Off The Coast Of Malacca. Among The Items Believed To Be In The Ancient Treasure Trove Are Chests Of Gold Bars, A Throne And Royal Regalia. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Idris Haron Said The State Government Has Given Permits To Two Local Companies To Carry Out Excavation Work Under Strict Conditions Set By Malacca Museum Corporation (Perzim). “For now, they have only been authorised to collect pictorial evidence,” Chef Minister Datuk Seri Idris Haron said.
Idris said the treasure on the island had been rumoured for centuries and there had been many attempts by treasure hunters, some of whom had used dynamite to blow up boulders, to get to the cavern. It Is Learnt That Representatives Of The Two Companies That Would Be Carrying Out The Excavation Works For The State Government Had Sought "Spiritual Help" Before Undertaking Their Venture. Workers involved in the project have so far bored several 130mm diametre holes into the cave using high-tech equipment. It is learnt that the latest progress report on the ongoing work was submitted to the state government last week.Among the things that they “agreed to” was to get the consent of the current administration of the state and that the wealth from it be used for the benefit and betterment of the people.
A Small Group Of People Reportedly Got Into The Cave About 30 Years Ago, But None Came Out With Even A Single Piece Of Bounty. They reportedly came out dazed and in a trance-like state after claiming to have seen, among other things, more than 80 chests of gold. It is learnt that representatives of the two companies that would be carrying out the excavation works for the state government had sought “spiritual help” before undertaking their venture.
In another newspaper story there is more details.
MALACCA: Hundreds of relics in Pulau Nangka have been sighted in a cave that is believed to have been used as a hideout for Sultan Mahmud when he fled from the Portuguese armada that invaded Malacca in 1511.
One of the companies given a state government approval to survey and gather pictorial evidence of the treasures hidden in the little island, 17km from here, said they have sighted hundreds of relics inside the cave.
Smart Partnership International (M) Sdn Bhd director Mohammad Fuad Khushairy Mohd Said revealed that his team used state-of-the-art scanning technology and geo-technical methods to sight the treasure.
“We have yet to determine the quantity and actual value of the relics inside the cave, but there are various types of relics inside,” he said.Mohammad Fuad also said various elaborate drawings and symbols were discovered at the entrance of the cave.“We have to find ways to decipher the drawings and symbols that could be related to the Majapahit Kingdom and Islamic sultanates from the Malay Archipelago,” he said, adding that there were several chambers inside the cave believed to be Sultan Mahmud’s hideout.
Meanwhile, reports of the hidden treasures on the island have drawn droves of relic hunters there, prompting the state government to beef up patrols and security around the island.Chief Minister Datuk Seri Idris Haron said there had been a reported attempt to detonate a huge boulder said to have blocked an entrance two decades ago to the cave, where billions of ringgit worth of treasure were said to be hidden.
The attempt to plunder the relics failed, said Idris.“We have to be extra vigilant to avoid anyone encroaching the site as the media report on the treasure has also received worldwide attention,” he said.Previous sightings claimed the treasures include more than 80 chests of gold, gold ingots, coins, jewels, jewellery, gold plate, land deeds, religious relics, weapons, trophies, artefacts and royal regalia. A front-page exclusive on the treasure island on Monday had stated that the state government had given permits to two local companies to carry out excavation work under strict conditions set by the Malacca Mu**seum Corporation (Perzim). There is a belief that mystical obstacles are preventing the treasure from being taken, with villagers saying the buried cave is either protected by a curse or by spirits.
Representatives of the two companies that would be carrying out the excavation works for the state government had reportedly sought “spiritual help” to undertake their venture.Idris said the work to identify the type of treasures was in progress by one of the companies.“We will apply for permits and licences from the relevant authorities once we enter the second phase, where the company confirms the treasures could be salvaged,” he said.
Fisherman Shukri Ahmad, 48, said it would not be easy for relic hunters to take away the treasures from the cave.“I tried with a group of friends by deciphering the symbols, but all of us went into a trance-like state when we took out some of the treasures,” he said.
