And the cycle repeats. Fugg, there's probably Spanish gold from Peru going to Iran in exchange for Shasneeds. Place your bets on where the gold will end up next. I say China.
I guess karma came through
>Place your bets on where the gold will end up next.
MY bank account of course
So the Iranians are gonna hand it over to israelites? Why?
Iran is secretly a israeli puppet
are you moronic? he said they would hand it over to his bank account dumbfrick.
Don't bulli pls.
What's the name of the ship?
I think a few ships carrying Spanish gold (among other cargo) were torped by Italy in the Mediterranean, but I don't recall the exact names and locations.

If you really want to play Uncharted IRL, there's a deuce and a half filled with Filipino state gold somewhere in the Bataan jungle. When the japs invaded MacArthur evacuated the Filipino national treasury to Corregidor Island by boat, but after a while Japanese air superiority stopped that and the last few convoys of gold were moved by truck. One truck broke down en route and had to be left behind, the drivers were never seen again.
IIRC, there's a belief that one Japanese senior officer got the gold and cached it somewhere in the jungle before he was killed, so there have been decades of Filipino treasure hunters searching out this huge gold cache.
I am hesitant to believe this story because you mentioned "Filipino treasure hunters"
Filipinos are a bunch of fricking morons
I never said it was true, I said that's what Filipinos believe. As you say, people there tend to be dumb and there's literally no evidence besides hearsay that it was ever cached in the jungle by Yamashita.
movie rights when ..?
hearing that story, the gold is probably long since been taken to japan or even the US
Shame about the gold rot. About 1/5 of it is probably gone by now.
China for sure. But funny thing would be gold returning to its homeland.
So Iran to South Africa, South Africa to Brazil, Brazil to Mexico. Something like that.
lol
>gold returns to its homeland
>suddenly world gets better and humanity enters a age of innovation as we have never seen before
Same as it ever was.
It's 2026 the New Zealand Australia Confederation has finally anexed the United States. Requiring guns in a haste fashion they exchange their gold for chinese weapons....
What could go wrong...
new zealand would never agree to a union, they won't even let allied ships go through their waters. they are complete and total Black folk that deserve extermination.
Peru again. It is missing home.
What are they buying from Peru?

>litteral cursed aztec gold is affecting world geopolitics
is there any non-sacrifice related ritual a country could do to appease the Aztec gods so they can accept the gold without consequences? anything related to fricking big booty latinas?
The Spanish collected more silver than gold
