The secret organisation of the ‘Golden Lily’
The intriguing World War II mystery that is commonly referred to as Yamashita’s Gold.
It was claimed that the Japanese authorities in conjunction with yakuza gangsters, allegedly looted a vast amount of valuables on a massive scale from the then occupied territories towards the end of the war.
It was intended for this loot to fund the Japanese war effort.
Imperial Japan’s own gold reserves had shrunk dramatically paying for its military.

    Historian Sterling Seagrave wrote a book about this and claimed that the U.S. Intelligence Services captured and tortured Yamashita’s driver who told them of locations that he have driven Yamashita. The U.S. authorities the recovered and have appropriated at least a good portion of the gold. Ferdinand Marcos was indeed an important player in such activities and helps explain why the U.S. helped and supported him for so long and gave him safe haven when he fled.

    Here in thailand there was thought that the gold was in the Lijia cave Which the death railway passed (Morana Railway) They Digged 3 Times but found nothing. We thought we got stuff when we found American Checks. But it was fake. We believed the gold would resolve the tom yam kung economy crisis… It didn’t

  7. John Paul Jones on September 8, 2023 at 9:39 pm

    Short answer the D.J.B. (Minus one letter before each initial) has it.

  8. LagunaL8 on September 8, 2023 at 9:40 pm

    The amount of gold sounds inflated. Japan wasn’t able to conquer those countries because they were ‘rich and prosperous’…

  9. Ale Tausa on September 8, 2023 at 9:40 pm

    Aside of poison,bomb and another trap,, about the entities guarded the treasure what we can do about them?. anybody help me,?

  10. Geno Injian on September 8, 2023 at 9:41 pm

    Hitler and Yamashita were said to be half-brothers with Jose Rizal being the dad.

    With the use of ultrasonics and the correct chemistry in an ultrasonic gun cleaning machine, you simply need to load up parts into a basket, and flip the switch. Ultrasonic’s use sound waves to generate microscopic bubbles that penetrate and remove soils from areas that are almost impossible to reach by other means.

    Using Ultrasonic cleaning methods could reveal more clues to Yamashita’s Gold, such as metal triggers, wood would have rotted away by now.

    Basically, sections of the mountain could be isolated with wood boxes, water is then run through the wood box. Any metal items would create bubbles as the ultrasonic cleaner cleans the soil from the metallic object. The object is then detected with a metal detector and removed.

    Yamashita would have had set metal trigger pins on the outside of the mountain that would trigger cave-ins when the soil on the outside of the mountain was disturbed.

  20. Ferdinand Marcos on September 8, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Marcos was always a dictator

  21. chesse on September 8, 2023 at 9:49 pm

    I’m a Filipino and I know the Yamashita gold but it’s fake so we don’t know

  22. TrappedInFloor on September 8, 2023 at 9:49 pm

    One of the more intriguing aspects of the story is the possibility that the US recovered a large amount of the treasure and has used it as an unaccountable military-intelligence slush fund.

  23. Brandon Elijah Casquejo on September 8, 2023 at 9:52 pm

    I honestly believe that the yamashita is the ill gotten wealth of the marcos but neverthless they should still give credit to the one who found it and the country must have a share of it as well

  24. wanderer1125 on September 8, 2023 at 9:53 pm

    This is true. This is the reason why Ferdinand Marcos is very rich. He also got golds from Tallano family and Jose Rizal also gave him tons of treasures. The marcos wealth will soon be distributed to the Filipino people upon the start BongBong Marcos’ presidency this May 2022

  26. Princess Marlena on September 8, 2023 at 9:56 pm

    I wish I could find something such as this.

  27. tankeryy on September 8, 2023 at 9:58 pm

  28. HipnoDark on September 8, 2023 at 9:59 pm

  29. Ampersand 13 on September 8, 2023 at 9:59 pm

    Once an old yamashita soldier said are you going to war carrying tons of gold?

    It was Founded by Rogelio Roxas under the then renovated Baguio General Hospital

  32. Lupin the 3rd on September 8, 2023 at 10:01 pm

    chances are it was transported back to japan and was sunk by an allied submarine

  33. kiri on September 8, 2023 at 10:01 pm

    Ah yes, the Japanese. Such an honorable warrior culture. Doing honorable things such as.. *checks notes* stealing gold and rape.

  34. ross micoh on September 8, 2023 at 10:02 pm

    Ferdinand Marcos is not a dictator

  35. Austen Falk on September 8, 2023 at 10:02 pm

    You can find it in one of the old medals of honor games

    "Those who seek the cursed treasure of Yamashita will fall into eternal pain."
    There was one man who found it and he was confronted by men who was offered ₱100k to not reveal the location and burn the map he made and warned him that he will suffer eternal suffering if he refused. Sadly, he refused. But then, the men of Ferdinand Marcos found him and tortured him demanding the location of the gold. By that time, the gold disappeared before the men of Ferdinand Marcos could get their hands on it. Then a tale was made the elders emerged. I was lucky to record it before they passed away. ( I only decifered a few)
    "due to a man’s greed, men of the cradle took it upon themselves to hide the curse treasure to maintain peace in the land."
    When I asked them why, they answered "We were afraid". Then one elder explained " Our land is full of treasures. Many have tried taking it from us so we’ve done everything we can to stop them. If words spread throughout the lowlands about the cursed treasure of General Yamashita, they will destroy and take everything. White people will come like they own everything and even our countrymen. All our ancestors’ sacrifice would be for nothing. That’s why we will do everything, even if it will turn us into savages."
    The words I decifered are clues for you to seek.
    This are the clues:
    Cradle
    Unconquered
    Savages
    Enders

  38. Was Hacked on September 8, 2023 at 10:05 pm

    Our elder tell stories that one day all the gold will be found and it will be shared not just in the Philippines but the entire world

  39. Novitrian Novit on September 8, 2023 at 10:05 pm

    Yamashita

  40. Arnolds view on September 8, 2023 at 10:11 pm

    The yamashita treasure was in swiss bank account of the marcoses.

  41. Kenneth Vincent Acuavera on September 8, 2023 at 10:12 pm

    Mrs.Marcos got the diamonds and Marcos Sr. had the Gold Hidden in the Swiss Banks

  42. mobile legend on September 8, 2023 at 10:15 pm

    Hi guys I have a question what is the meaning if you find a stone Buddha burried in the ground is it have a chance to have a tunnel or a chest full of gold coins?

  43. dyer on September 8, 2023 at 10:16 pm

    So thats where marcos got his wealth

  44. Danish naufal Junaidi (Hyss) on September 8, 2023 at 10:18 pm

    In Singapore, there’s a place near a reservoir where it was rumoured that treasures were hidden there but no one has dared to go considering the dangers and the closest landmark to the so called ‘’treasure pit’’ was just a shrine deep in the vegetation

  45. Anton Smith on September 8, 2023 at 10:19 pm

    Fun Fact: Marco’s son Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr. is now president of The Philippines

  46. Ryan Valdez on September 8, 2023 at 10:21 pm

    There was this story in the Philippines actually where there’s this 2 dudes who was treasure hunters that found the treasure. But later soon to be kept by our previous president Marcos.. we don’t actually know if its true but it seems legit hehe just an opinion

  47. Scythe on September 8, 2023 at 10:21 pm

    Isn’t this the plot of Man of Medan?

  48. Jerome Corona on September 8, 2023 at 10:22 pm

    With the return of the Son of Ferdinand Marcos to Presidency , we will be reclaiming that gold for ourselves , all illegal miners not given presidential permission to mine in the Philippines or suspected places of interests will be punished for their illegal actions , that gold belongs to the Filipinos and will be returned to the Filipinos.

  49. Alexander Kidonakis on September 8, 2023 at 10:23 pm

    How has no one found any of these mines containing any of this gold?

    Also it seems like Japan would of definitely used some of the gold if they actually had it to continue their war efforts

  50. Jameson Eli on September 8, 2023 at 10:24 pm

    for the other pieces gold that lost around cordillera region, there’s a rumor that they were located at the mountain of kiangan, ifugao in front of the general yamashita’s shrine park
