Inca Treasure - Fable or Real?

Friday December 26, 2003
Lost treasure of El Pensamiento, is The Scotman's account of the £460 million worth of gold and silver bullion and precious stones that sailed from Lambayeque, Peru, (now Ecuador) dispatched by a Spanish corregidor or colonial official, Antonio Pástor y Marin de Segura, Marques de Llosa. The vessel was jointly commanded by an American, John Fanning, and a Scot, John Doig or Doigg, with Leith, Scotland as the destination for deposit in the Royal Bank of Scotland. But did it ever arrive? What happened to the Inca treasure, now worth £26.3 billion-plus. Did it ever exist? And if did, who owns it?

I know where the treasure lies…I can help you find the same but its very trecherous, as good as ready to give your life for it…but the trip will be really very exciting - much much better than any movies or treasure stories ever heard!

i am ready to dig it out provided we have a financial and legal support from all sectors of the government and consulates, residing both, in Scotland as well as Peru and an agreement including my life security from the ones who are after it since ages. Im all in for it!

Es cierto, lambayeque está en Perú, pero mi ancestro José Antonio Pastor y marín de Segura era Corregidor y Justicia mayor de los reyes de España; gobernó como Sub delegado de Marina en parte del Virreynato de Perú desde Santiago de Guayaquil en Ecuador hasta Pacasmayo en Perú. Los tesoros se los robó un banco Escocés pues le correspondían a la generación de mi padre (5°) Luis Ortigas Pastor

My great grandpa located the lost treasure in Ecuador.He died because he was shot by a poisoness dart in the jungle.He made it back to Quito but died 6 hours later.He left behind a diary with daily entrys.UNBELIEVABLE!If I had the money I would go looking myself.This is a true story.He had orderd equipment to start digging but never got to pick it up.In the diary he swears he knew where it was.Many have tried to locate it since but none have been able to.I’m convinced to this day he knew exactly where it was.
