The Stolen Treasures of Asia (part 1 of 2)

 


 

History WWII

Brief Info,


During the early years of the Second World War, as the victorious Imperial Japanese forces lead by General Yamashita Tomoyuki swept through much of Asia it is claimed that they were accompanied by teams of specialists who oversaw the systematic plundering of the conquered nations. These teams, collectively known as "Golden Lily" were supervised by the Emperor's brother Prince Yasuhito Chichibu. The loot was supposedly gathered together in the former British stronghold of Singapore before being dispersed to locations throughout the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia.

massive looting as an extension of war is nothing new. The Japanese were serious, sober, and deliberate when they methodically and systematically looted thirteen Asian Countries during World War 2. They took treasure including precious diamonds and other gems, gold bullion, and solid gold Buddha’s out of every hiding place. Much of this treasure did not make it back to Japan due to a World War 2 naval blockade of the Philippine islands by the United States, and much of this treasure has been recovered and seen recently in underground hiding places in the Philippines. Also Include Malaysia and Indonesia.
