The Tale of two Brothers lost map of Corrigadors treasure.

[Interested Party in UK]

It sure has Kanacki.

Really interesting story, can't wait for it to continue.

The amazing thing is, in the central areas of India, even today, things will be almost as if they still were like 100 years ago...

This story has jogged my memory regarding another princely treasure that was found in a secret vault around the same time as the one you are telling. It was secretly removed without the knowledge of the British authorities...

Don't worry Kanacki, today you are Kanacki so rum is allowed, when you back on these shores does Mr Mckanacki have to honour his heritage.

Please continue, I am enthralled...

Strange story no? Of course Newspaper are rather unreliable back in that era. So it prompted a little detective work.

In did I had found a Sybil conquest and her family who arrived in India some after 1911 before world war 1? It is possible that they we in India much earlier perhaps before 1900?



5 daughters none married?

It really is an intriguing one Kanacki.

I admire you guys' modus operandi. Good thing with British records is, they tended to be kept for even the smallest thing. But of course they are not infallible.

Would seem unusual if 5 daughters were still spinsters all at the same time.

Interest Party in UK I have no doubt parts of India are the same, not just hundred years by hundreds of years ago... I have a odd Job, a plea for help from a family who had son had gone missing in India. He and a young friend had wanted to experience spiritualism of various Hindu cults...He and his friend was heavily into Hashish and back packed around India for 6 months, just before they due to leave he had walked out of a hotel and had vanished. I travel around India for 2 months and one thing I learned. Curry and me do not get along.

However I found no trace of him. However I suspected he had become a follower of a Hash cult . The monks of the Hash cult wander about India barely clothed living in destitute poverty. Mainly living in cemeteries eating dead corpses and garbage of and excrement of others. The general Population are a little afraid of them as they are seen as ghouls with mystical powers to steal souls. They paint their bodies with cremated powered bones of the dead and smoke hashish to lift them up spiritually to another place as they believe the body is of no importance and its mental state of person that matters.







Anyway A little side tracked I will continue with the story of Sybil....

That is what makes this country so fascinating, futuristic buildings and shopping malls with cows, elephants, mystics, street children mingling with middle-class families outside...

Yeh right, blame the curry, nothing to do with the homemade moonshine they have in some parts of India....

As you already are aware India a fascinating country with its own set of unique dangers. I could at first find it hard believe if this story was true with Sybil conquest? I does seem that she was from a wealthy family at least and had money at her disposal.

The following newspaper story. Newcastle morning herald and miner advocate 13th January 1926.





She determined to attempt to find the location of the lost hoard, and in 1878 she organized an expedition. The day before she set out a fakir came to the verandah of her bungalow and warned her against the projected adventure. 'If the memsahib did not listen, misfortunes would speedily overtake her.'' But Miss Conquest only laughed, and a week later she was well on her way. The expedition located the sacred pool' without much trouble. The Lake of Fire was merely a picturesque name for a stagnant pool of water which lay, black and sinister, in the depth of a dense wood. No sun penetrated through the rank foliage, and from the swampy ground a fever-laden miasma rose.

For some days dragging operations were carried, out but nothing save slime was caught in the nets of the treasure seekers. It was finally determined to abandon the attempt until the dry season, when the pool would be half dried up and could be emptied with hand pumps. The day before the expedition started on its homeward trip Miss Conquest took one last survey of the silent pool in whose murky depth she firmly believed the gold and jewels of Prince .Byrada to be buried She imagined herself alone, but suddenly she became aware of a squatting figure in her path. It was the fakir who had warned her before the expedition set out.

This time he neither moved nor spoke, but looked piercingly at. her and vanished as mysteriously as he had appeared. Miss Conquest was startled, but decided to say nothing to her companions. That might have put them off,she explained afterwards. The dry season found her once again on ' the wild road to the Vindhya Mountains. This time the pack horses carried pumping machinery. The pool, as she had anticipated, was very low. The pumps were set up, and the black waters slowly receded, until at the end of two days the slime' at 'the bottom spurted in viscous jets through: the pipe.

By this time Miss Conquest had be come something of a monomaniac. She shook with' excitement, and not even the third appearance of the fakir deflected her from her purpose. On the third occasion, she afterwards declared, he whispered in Hindustani, 'Go, while there is time!' She ignored him. Then tragedy laid its grim hand on the treasure hunters. In the morning one number of the expedition was 'missing. What had happened to him? No one ever knew? He had vanished for ever in the silence and solitude of the hills. Later in the day as the party, exhausted by frantic searching for their lost companion, rested, one man began to shiver and sicken. He had developed fever. By nightfall three of the four remaining members of the party were, down, with fever. Twenty-four hours later they were dead.

THE LAST TERROR.

Miss Conquest alone remained alive by the edge of the empty pool over which swarms of buzzing mosquito hung like a moving clouds: Suddenly her nerves gave way. She ran stumbling, through the darkening jungle. She remembered falling, staggering slip, hurrying on. She had the , idea illusion' or not— that the fakir followed her. When weeks later she was brought back by natives who had found her wandering, laughing, and talking to herself, on the footpath leading to the hills, she was demented and near to death. Nursed back to health, she told the story of her extraordinary, experiences. Nothing could shake her conviction that the treasure indeed, lay buried in the pool, but that it was protected by a mystic curse. She blamed herself for the doom which had overtaken her companions. She would never disclose the whereabouts of the pool, and although two further adventurers, hearing the tale other parties and tried to find, it and did not succeed either.



Thus is treasure legend of Sybil Conquest. Real fantasy or bit of both? It is hard to know. Sybil Conquest was a real person at least. But what of the treasure legend is there a grain of truth?

Fascinating.

There is a lot more to this story I would presume.

But why was this lady fixated on the pool?

The prince would have liked to make his treasure inaccessible as possible, but could it be that the water was a ruse?

*Refills at the ready*

Hola IPIU its late in the early hours of the morning my bottle is empty and this Kanacka has to go bed. Up early for Easter mass. These Island girls try real hard to bring us old pirates into line. The other half will be sore at me if I turn up with one eye open and other closed.

Cheers and happy Easter

Hello Doc there will never be a book. There is many things I can never reveal in public as I am bound by legal contracts with indemnity of any such claims against us.

After years of being proverbial pain in the ass to various governments. Many times accusations have been leveled at various members of the Trio. Yet there has never been a successful prosecution. We have been fortunate to travel with very little impunity flying under the noses of institutions and governments. Since we have amassed over 350 thousand pages of documents with a vast network of contacts relating to missing treasure from various countries and eras. It has given us a little leverage. As no law can be proven to be violated and No country will step in as they afraid of creating an embarrassing diplomatic incident connected to exposing themselves.

While outwardly Governments, academia are restricted in their ability by their own code of ethical conduct they cannot officially go into into such places and cannot be seen to be publicly engaging in such projects. The trio for some we have become some thing of a convenient necessary evil.

Even so the trio, the time is coming for retirement as we are tired.... Money is not really a issue anymore.

How can I finish a book on Tayopa when 99% of the documention is hear say or otherwise unconfirmable ? Yes I have ii, but the Jesuits did a comendable job of wiping the slate clean, too commendable.

Crow,money IS an issue with the Tayopa project.

Hello Tin Tin

So construction has I believe may of started. But fear not the trio acquired a 3-d concept plan of vault being constructed.

Crow-
It is totally understandable about the things that cannot be revealed in public, but what about the things that CAN be revealed?! Surely there has to be a tale or two regarding successful hunts, or at least bits and pieces of the tale (of course keeping the names, places, & amounts private) that can be shared. You and Kanacki have taunted us (in a good way) with information, pictures, and facts but, and I think it's safe to speak for most of us here, we'd like to know about your own treasure searches & finds?? If money isn't an issue, than surely you've found at least something along the way that you could possibly share with us? Maybe?

Thank you in advance and, as always, all the best to you and yours!
J.A.

P.S. No worries if your answer is still no. I just figured I'd keep trying. Obviously I'm not trying to upset anyone.

Hello J.A.A

Unfortunately that is the name of the game. Protocol forces me and trio to never endorse or reveal such activities that may be later used as incriminating evidence in any attempted current or future prosecution under UNESCO.

If you read the Current UNESCO open ended draft on what constitutes a cultural artifact.... For example in 20 odd years time If you dig a Bart Simpson doll from your own back yarn you can be liable for prosecution. Thus recovering a techincally cultural artifact under the UNESCO definition of what a cultural artifact is. Most Governments are is due course signing on this... thus obligated under the agreement are legally bound to prosecute.

Thanks Crow,,of course that is understandable,,,but there would come a time when even the trio's children and grandchildren want to know the adventures of their dads and granddads and they couldn't find anything...maybe a fictional book of a sort that tells the trios adventures in a disguised way is an option written under pen names ,,,,just a thought
