A group of treasure hunters in Finland reportedly believes that they are close to finally locating a legendary hoard of riches after a decades-long search for the enormous cache of gold, jewels, and artifacts. The curious saga began back in 1984 when Finnish actor and mythologist Ior Bock made the fantastic claim that his family had been entrusted with guarding a secret temple that once belonged to the mythological figure Lemminkainen. The site, he asserted, could be found in a sediment-filled cave system hidden within a hill in the municipality of Sipoo and was loaded with a staggering 50,000 precious jewels, life-sized golden statues of human figures, and over 1,000 artifacts that had been stashed away around 1,000 years ago.
