Built in 1953. Back then you got approval from the state, who likely didn't care about native groups.

Growing up there were plenty of reruns of Lost Ark and Last Crusade. But I knew it was a trilogy and never saw one of them. Tracked it down and yeah got why it's not rerun on tv.

A kg of gold is worth ~75,500.

You're saying a kg is worth $60 million.

I did the math lower down:

Probably don't notice when you're using a forklift.

My math says that's 133 kg of gold. Not all that much. If you replaced the metal volume, the additional weight is approx 81 kg.

I saw a presentation from one of them about the founding of Tesla, impressive stuff. Elon just takes their talking points, that's why he can't deviate far from a couple points.

Now that's good. I wonder how they got caught.

...technicians removed the motor casing and found a rotor “wrapped in a cord wheel which was tied to tape.”

“It was not similar to a normal motor,” he added.

After examining the rotor, authorities found traces of glue at both ends of the machinery part. Using a hammer, they then tapped the part and “noticed unevenness,” indicating the metal was far more malleable than it should have been. Scraping away at an outer layer of silver paint showed flecks of gold.
