That Aztec gold, associated with Montezuma, is no doubt cached somewhere in the Petan region of Guatemala, is virtually an absolute. Their is enough historical data to support this. This area contains one of the least explored jungles in Central America. Anyone that has visited the ancient Mayan city of Tikal, climbed a temple and looked out over the vast expanse of green can testify to this. It's difficult to explain the feeling to someone that has never been there. It's as if the jungle is waiting to retake what was taken from it.
Along with the Aztec gold that is protected somewhere it the deepest depths of this dark green expanse there is also another treasure. As their civilization began to decline, Mayan priests sought to protect their ancient knowledge. They hid an untold number of manuscripts somewhere deep in the Jungle. we know this from a number of obscure reliefs painted on the walls of temples that have only rarely been seen by Europeans. There is also the account by the Priest that was responsible for translating the Popol Vuh (the sacred works of the Quiche Maya) from it's original manuscript. There is no doubt that this vast depository of ancient knowledge exists.
Assuming the truth of both treasures is fact, the question is simple. Which would you go after, the Aztec gold or the depository containing the knowledge of one of the greatest civilizations of all time, the Maya??
