Fight Over Buried Treasure
The podcast episode discusses the ongoing dispute over a sunken ship, the San Jose, which carries a massive treasure off the coast of Cartagena, Colombia. The ship sank over 300 years ago during a battle with a British naval ship. Colombia claims full ownership of the shipwreck, but a disbanded exploration group, Glacamora, and the government of Spain also argue for their rights to the treasure. Additionally, indigenous groups from present-day Peru and Bolivia claim entitlement to a portion of the treasure since it was mined from their territories.
