Lost Gold of WW2 (2019–2020)
5/10
Very Silly Show Based On A Silly Premise!
19 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Everything about this series is silly or ridiculous. That being said, it's entertaining. A few of the silly things: 1)They based the entire search so far on wild stories that 'Grandpa' tells them. Grandpa is an old guy who claims to be a witness to everything they ask him about. Oddly enough, he would have been a very very young child when this all happened. He supposedly owned a pack animal that the Japanese army used at night. Sure, they asked the locals "can we borrow this a few nights a week", right? And, he watched another local local get his head chopped off by them and still played around them and heard what they were saying. Remember, THE JAPANESE SOLDIERS SPOKE JAPANESE. I'm pretty sure a pre-teen Filipino boy was fluent in the Japanese language. On to the search. They find a previously dug tunnel and put a video camera down it. They find a broken bottle at the bottom. "That's Amazing! It must be a broken poison bottle. The Japanese army often rigged poison bottles to kill treasure hunters. OR, maybe one of the previous treasure hunters tossed an empty pop bottle down the hole. Basically, we have an elderly local who's become a local legend by telling foreigners wild stories. And, realistically, after 5 minutes of online research. The treasure was found and stolen by a former ruling family there (The Marcos regime). And, it was worth billions. It's been disclosed in court records there. Research shows they stole between $5-10 Billions Dollars and most of it was hidden in overseas banks and never recovered. I'll keep watching though. I'm easily entertained.
