Nowhere as all of the evidence says that it's not credible that he had it in the first place. It seems like yet one more story that is so common when a country is defeated. A story that gives hope that all is not lost. The confederacy in the US has such a story about gold taken to another place in order to finance a return. There are stories of the same with Nazi Germany. Throughout history, same story. But if someone ever did get away with it whatever the period you can bet no one would ever know as they wouldn't want someone coming after them for it later.

Gold is a metal thrown to earth by Zeus because he did not want his wife Hera to be greedy. Did not help him or her.

I won't go into detail on this, but underneath the building was somewhere to the tune of 25 BILLION (maybe more) dollars worth of israeli gold. Please watch the movie "loose change" at www.loosechange911.com for more answers.

Crazy Fire is mistaken. King Midas was the one who wished for gold. Medusa is from Greek Mythology.\n\n"Medusa was a terrible monster who had laid waste to the country. She was once a beautiful maiden whose hair was her chief glory, but as she dared to vie in beauty with Athena, the goddess deprived her of her charms and changed her beautiful ringlets into hissing serpents. She became a cruel monster of so frightening an aspect that no living thing could behold her without being turned into stone. All around the cavern where she dwelt might be seen the stony figures of men and animals which had chanced to catch a glimpse of her and had been petrified with the sight. Perseus, favored by Athena and Hermes, the former of whom lent him her shield and the latter his winged shoes, approached Medusa while she slept, and taking care not to look directly at her, but guided by her image reflected in the bright shield which he bore, he cut off her head and gave it to Athena, who fixed it in the middle of her Aegis."

Love it. Although I don't own a detector at this time.Best treasure story I've heard is the one about somewhere in the the salt river there were some bandit's who stole a bunch of gold chalices from churches and crosses they got caught in a flash flood and were drowned in the salt river possibly in the phoenix area somewhere in the river bottom lies the booty.The salt river is dry in many places certain times of the year which allows great treasure hunting.The river is also home to hundreds of thousand people who inner-tube it in the summer.Great for finding spilled booty from cooler's that had valuables placed in them and then spilled upside down in the fast moving water.

it was used as fiat money--money was not backed up by physical commodity-so faith in gold was used to value said money

You can’t do it and yes there is a lot of gold at Fort Knox.\n•Amount of present gold holdings:  147.3 million ounces. \n•The only gold removed has been very small quantities used to test the purity of gold during regularly scheduled audits.  Except for these samples, no gold has been transferred to or from the Depository for many years. \n•The gold is held as an asset of the United States at book value of $42.22 per ounce. \n•The Depository opened in 1937; the first gold was moved to the depository in January that year. \n•Highest gold holdings this century:  649.6 million ounces (December 31, 1941). \n•Size of a standard gold bar:  7 inches x 3 and 5/8 inches x 1 and 3/4 inches. \n•Weight of a standard gold bar:  approximately 400 ounces or 27.5 pounds. \n•Construction of the depository:\nBuilding materials used included 16,000 cubic feet of granite, 4,200 cubic yards of concrete, 750 tons of reinforcing steel, and 670 tons of structural steel.\nThe cost of construction was $560,000 and the building was completed in December 1936. \n•In the past, the Depository has stored the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, the Articles of Confederation, Lincoln's Gettysburg address, three volumes of the Gutenberg Bible, and Lincoln's second inaugural address. \n•In addition to gold bullion, the Mint has stored valuable items for other government agencies.  The Magna Carta was once stored there.  The crown, sword, scepter, orb, and cape of St. Stephen, King of Hungary also were stored at the Depository, before being returned to the government of Hungary in 1978. \n•The Depository is a classified facility.  No visitors are permitted, and no exceptions are made. \n\n\nYou might explain why you need such a plan, it would make it easier to explore options.

If you mean Ramses XI (roman numeral 11) - the final king of the 20th Dynasty of the New Kingdom - then the answer is that a tomb was prepared for him in the Valley of the Kings (KV 4), but apparently it was never completed nor was it actually used by Ramses XI.\nIt is believed that he chose instead to be buried away from Thebes, probably somewhere in Northern Egypt (his actual burial has yet to be found) due to the political instability in Egypt, the rising power of the priesthood in Thebes,  and the frequent robbery of royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings during his reign as well as the reigns of other kings.\n\nBy this point in Egyptian history, Egyptian kings had ceased to build pyramids for themselves and pyramids instead became part of the burial tradition for non-royal persons.  The exception is the construction of royal pyramids in Nubia by the Napatan and Meroitic kings and queens of the 1st millenium BC, some of whom also ruled over Egypt during the 25th Dynasty.

How did oyur professor's friend get hold of the gold bananas?\n\nSounds weird but i think it's a sort of test, you know bad spirits and all that like when they discovered tutankamun's tomb....i certainly wouldn't have kept hold of them if they do exist!

Yes ! I was 14 and living in Washington,  DC - my friend and I went to bike in our favorite park ( LITTLE FOREST ) and he brought his dad's metal detector along. There was once a fort     (or fortification) that the soldiers used from the war against the British and during the civil war. We thought that would be a great place to look for goodies and we were right !  We found three stashes of gold coins and relics glore that had  been ( delibrately ) buried since George Washington's & Abe Lincoln's presidencies !   Amazing ( net worth ) then in 1970,  $10,000+   Now - I ain't goin' to say !!!
