节目叙述者：二战期间，日本军队在东南亚埋藏巨额宝藏的传说广为流传，但其真实性存在争议。许多寻宝者前往菲律宾寻找宝藏，但至今未有重大发现。一些盟军士兵曾带回掠夺的财宝，这增加了宝藏存在的可能性。日本军队可能制作了三级地图来隐藏宝藏，但高级地图已遗失。Klaus Dona 声称获得了关于宝藏隐藏地点的重要信息。他的寻宝方法结合了地图研究、实地考察和当地居民访谈等多种学科。 Klaus Dona：我找到了金条、钻石等少量财宝，这让我相信日本宝藏的存在。寻宝地点受到某种精神力量的保护，当地人曾看到日本士兵的鬼魂。在挖掘现场，我们发现了象征着下方有宝藏的日本符号。我使用占卜术来寻找宝藏，并规避危险。在四个地点都发现了宝藏的迹象，包括陶瓷碎片、金粉和钻石粉末。我们正在挖掘坚固的碉堡墙，并克服了水患问题。我相信我们即将成功。 Andrew Gough：宝藏位于很深的地方，这也是此前没有人发现它的原因。挖掘过程艰辛，让人质疑是否值得。但我们发现了各种标记，证明我们走在正确的道路上。我相信Klaus Dona 即将成功。 Guy Walters：从军事角度来看，将宝藏藏在菲律宾不太可信，因为这需要巨大的后勤保障，而且士兵们很可能会泄露消息。美军也可能炸毁了隧道。 Ricardo Jose：我不相信菲律宾存在日本宝藏，认为游击队会发现并报告此事，而且日本人可以通过其他途径转移黄金。我认为美国人已经将菲律宾的黄金转移出境。日本人系统性地掠夺了菲律宾银行的财物。 目击者：我年少时看到日本士兵将沉重的箱子运到一个小山上，这个小山正是Klaus Dona正在挖掘的地方。 Patrick Nicholas：我钦佩Klaus Dona 的坚持和奉献精神。我相信我们即将成功，但也会面临更多挑战。 Klaus Dona: I found some gold bars and diamonds, which convinced me of the existence of the Japanese treasure. The site is spiritually protected, and locals have seen ghosts of Japanese soldiers. We found Japanese symbols indicating treasure below. I use dowsing to find the treasure and avoid danger. We found signs of treasure at four sites, including ceramic fragments, gold dust, and diamond dust. We are digging through strong bunker walls and overcame water problems. I believe we are close to success. My methods combine map research, fieldwork, and interviews with locals. I received important information from people who knew about the treasure's location.
