What are they looking for?
It turned out that according to ancient historical data, it was found that more than 200 years ago, the British pirate Anson had buried 846 boxes of gold and a lot of treasures on this island.
George Anderson is a Lord knighted by the Queen of England, but he is also a famous pirate. 1774, the British Admiralty entrusted pirates to plunder the property of Spanish sailboats and colonies in southern Africa. The medium-sized fleet led by him consists of eight ships and has strong combat capability. This pirate team once frightened all Spanish merchant ships.
At that time, Anson used Robinson Crusoe as his base camp and refuge. Every time they rob a Spanish ship, they set off from Robinson Crusoe.
Captain Anson's most successful victory was the robbery of the Spanish merchant ship Bao Yun. It is said that he robbed 846 boxes of gold and precious stones, each weighing 1300 kg, with a total value as high as10 billion US dollars, which is the largest pirate treasure in history.
The Spanish authorities are determined to recover a lot of gold. So they immediately sent warships to pursue the sailing boat "Unoniconio" driven by Captain Anson in the Pacific Ocean. But Anson is by no means an idle generation. As a famous navigator in the world, he has rich experience in navigation and combat. The Spanish authorities' order to their warships was "Never stop until the robbed gold is recovered and Anson is punished". As a result, the two sides began a sea contest again and again. On two occasions, Spanish warships were on the verge of biting Anson's sailboats like hounds, and he miraculously lost them. Of course, Anson's sailboat is no match for Spanish warships after all, and his ship is loaded with 1 100 tons of gold, which is too heavy to sail flexibly. He knows very well that chasing Spanish warships like this will be eaten sooner or later. So he ordered his men to retreat to a familiar bay on Robinson's drifting island and hide quietly.
According to the historical records of Spanish archives, Anson's sailboat only spent a quiet night in this small bay, and the crew found the following Spanish warship the next morning.
Anson came to the deck with the crew's screams. From the telescope, he clearly saw a big ship ahead, with a high mast and a row of powerful cannons on its side. There is no doubt that Spanish warships have followed them to Robinson Crusoe Bay.
At this time, An Xun's sailboat was full of 1 100 tons of gold, so it could not go far at all. Although he also hopes that he will not be discovered by the Spanish, it is only wishful thinking. Once discovered, they can't escape from the guns of Spanish warships.
Finally, he made up his mind to transfer the gold to Robinson Crusoe.
So they put down the boat, and the pirates carried the boxes and barrels full of jewels and gold and silver jewelry out of the cabin of the big ship and unloaded them onto the ship with the help of the pedal rope ladder put down on the bulwark. Gradually, the boat full of gold and precious stones left the downwind of the big ship and struggled to sail for the island. After landing, the pirates carried all the heavy boxes and barrels with iron hoops and entered the tropical bush. Someone opened the road with a big knife in front, and trudged for hours in the tropical virgin jungle. The only guide for the team to move forward on the island is a map drawn by Anson during his stay on the island.
After nightfall, they lit a torch and continued to trudge through the dense forest. Finally, they climbed a mountain 170 meters on the island. Anson found a place on the top of the mountain that he thought was very reliable. After carefully examining the surrounding environment, he found a place suitable for hiding treasure and ordered the treasure to be buried there. Subsequently, the pirates began to dig hard. It took them a whole night to finally dig a cave 7 meters deep vertically. Anson carefully observed the environment around the cave again, and recorded all kinds of terrain features carefully observed on the way in detail, and recorded them on parchment one by one. Until he believes that once the time is right, he will come to this small island, and with the help of the treasure map he is drawing now, he will definitely find this secret place. Then he ordered the pirates to move those heavy boxes and barrels to the edge of the cave with difficulty, and then put them into the cave with the help of dry boards and ropes. Then they covered it with stones and a thick layer of soil, and finally wiped away the traces of their treasure with weeds.
When all this was done, it was just dawn. Looking at the dark sky, Anson knew that there would be a heavy rain in the morning, and then the rain would wash away all traces. If you don't take this treasure map of Anson, no one will find the location of this treasure.
Luck has changed. Because of Anson's outstanding "record", the famous pirate was later made Lord by the Queen of England, and he has made outstanding achievements since then. However, with such a high-sounding identity, Anson can only keep thinking about the treasure map he painted in the past, but he has no chance to go to Robinson Crusoe to find gold. Anyone can find gold and precious stones from time to time except him.
After he buried gold and precious stones in Robinson Crusoe for 200 years, the island became lively in 1940. Groups of treasure hunters of various identities came to Robinson Crusoe Island with a large number of documents and historical materials from nowhere, and began to search every inch of land there and dig day and night. However, after years of tossing, these people all returned empty-handed.
In a blink of an eye, another 40 years have passed. In the 1980s, a rainstorm on Robinson's drifting island once again ignited the enthusiastic flame of treasure hunters. It turned out that the heavy rain caused the mudslide on the island. After the rain cleared, some people accidentally found many naked silver bars and several rubies in the valley. As a result, people immediately thought that it was the heavy rain that washed away the treasure buried by Anson from a height and scattered it in the valley. The news seems to have spread in a few days. Immediately, a large number of treasure hunters came to the island again, but they were disappointed again.
10 years later, Bernard Kaiser, a Dutch-American, somehow became interested in the gold buried by Anson. He got the information about "An Xun Gold" from the only hotel owner named "Arda daniel defoe" on the island, and immediately began to search, claiming that he had found the exact location of the 7-meter-deep treasure cave where the treasure was buried.
After receiving the news, the relevant departments of the Chilean government immediately stated that the island belongs to Chilean territory, and no one is allowed to dig the treasure without the approval of the Chilean government. Later, they started difficult negotiations with the American, and finally the two sides reached an agreement: if he found the 846 boxes of gold, he must give 75% of the treasure to the Chilean government and the residents of Robinson Crusoe, and the remaining 25% to himself.
Bernard Kaiser's excavation team began to look for treasure. They began to dig around the clock at the top of the mountain with modern digging tools such as small bulldozers, but there were only stones underground and they finally had to give up. The profit share that the Chilean government is waiting for has also been soaked.
Of course, just because Americans are gone doesn't mean other treasure hunters won't come. What is certain is that Robinson Crusoe will never be quiet in the future as long as the 846 boxes of gold in Anson's legend are still in the dark.
