Country #1. This episode is full of gold, backstabbing, pirates, and sarcasm because guest Kyle Soekotjo is back on joining us today.
In this episode, we revisit Belize and disclose any clues to questions we had in the first episode such as: What does the world's largest sinkhole have to do with the Mayan civilizations' collapse in Belize? As well as go over adventures you can do while in Belize involving pirates' treasure and river tubing among jaguars.
We end on a story of an ex-treasure hunter named Tommy Thompson and how he found the world's largest loot from the 1850's shipwreck of the SS South Carolina leading to him rotting in prison indefinitely.
