Treasure of Pupiales changes lives as deep tombs yield ancient gold
In Pupiales Colombia villagers speak of wealth from a buried hoard of gold jadite and other artifacts dating to pre Columbian times. Archaeologists say the finds show Andean influence and mark the first gold work in Narino near Ecuador. The discovery triggers plans for a regional museum, compensation, and safeguards against illicit treasure traffic.
