Things like these would be SO much common if the British hadn't stolen almost all of it. Colonization destroyed what once was an amazingly rich country.
No, I'm totally not bitter.

OK, when will there be photos? Shiny things attract more than just birds and pack rats.

Don't dig it up, just flooding the markets with that much wealth would be catastrophic like when the Spaniards started bringing Inca gold back to Europe.

The Temple alone looks like it's worth that much.
There's so much crazy shit from the ancient world, I wish we still built stuff like that.

Scientology already has been taken, how about Facetwitology? Believers use their computers to conect to the electron god who fought in a war against the evil galactic dictator "insulator" billions of years ago. By giving the gift of lots of gold you help the electrons flow to keep Earth safe from the return of the REALLY long lived evil insulator.Here, let me connect this galvanic skin resistance meter to you, If you don't read like a short circuit, you're in DANGER of become a slave to the evil insulator. Give me gold, lots and lots of gold, and I will save you. Oh wait, YOU were supposed to start up a money making scam,errr, religion. I'm keeping Facetwitology for myself make up you own!

I was thinking of a religion of war, worshiping a god of blood and conquest, worshiping a god of glory and honor, a god who's justice is found at the end of a sword. Wait I think that ones taken, damn Christians get everything!
