It is the last great mystery of WWII. In the closing months of the war,
legend has it that the Japanese buried something of immense value deep
in the Philippine jungle. The official story is that it is treasure and
gold worth perhaps billions of dollars. Japanese soldiers, led by
General Yamashita, constructed a massive warren of secret tunnels
underground in dozens of locations - before Yamashita had the entrances
blown up - trapping the soldiers inside - to keep his secret. It's a
grand mystery that involves a secret cadre of princes called the Golden
Lily, Japan's feared mafia-like Yakuza, booby-trapped tunnels marked by
ancient Japanese symbols, and real-life characters like Douglas
MacArthur, Harry Truman, Ferdinand Marcos, George HW Bush, and Bill
Clinton. One Philippine farmer witnessed the operation. He has entrusted
his secrets to a group of dedicated investigators and engineers who are
using the latest technology to search for the treasure and the truth.
