When watching the 2019 History Channel TV series Lost Gold of WWII, it seemed evident to me that this was a reconstruction and not the actual event. I reached this conclusion for a small number of reasons. For example, all seven episodes showed the extraordinary efforts and dangers faced by the recovery team of treasure hunters in finding the tunnel that contained the Golden Lily gold and treasure stash.
And yet, in the final episode, No. 8, the team suddenly, even inexplicably and without any explanation at all were hacking their way through the lush jungle and by sheer accident came across an open engineered tunnel complex that extended for what seemed to a very long way into the mountain they were on. It was too convenient for an old cynic like me. I reasoned that the team probably had found the tunnel and the gold earlier and latterly made the documentary TV series.
There were other indications that not all was entirely accurate too. Not least, during various episodes of the TV series, the public was shown strange carvings on rocks that apparently were concealed Golden Lily coded messages concerning the treasure location. Unless my memory is more deficient than I believe it is, all three of the following rocks appeared in this TV series:

Tunnel rock
The photo's were published in my The Secret Gold Treaty which was first published at least 15 years ago (I neglected to date the book and memory is no longer as precise as it once was) [actually it was published 18 years ago in 2001 - I just checked]. If one navigates to the link in the opening post of this thread and selects Documents and then click on the various "Cambodia" photos and then click on "Cambodia 8" you'll find these photos there.
The tunnel entrance was concealed in the below dwelling. The recovery team said it took them four years to reach the treasure room:

The recovery was underway when this e-book was published. The previous tunnel the team had excavated which consisted of 100,000 12.5kg gold bars that had been stacked a metre high along the entire 500 metre length of the tunnel began in July/August 1996 and were assayed as 20-22 karat bars with a value of US$150,000 each. Do the maths.
It is quite possible I am barking up the wrong tree with regard to the TV series and that these sorts of rock signs are commonplace. But I have a sneaky sense that the History Channel will not have a second series showing the actual recovery of the bullion.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
