<<FEATURE-Treasure piles up at Yangon's golden
heart
08:22 p.m Mar 20, 1999 Eastern

By Aung Hla Tun

YANGON, March 21 (Reuters) - The Shwedagon Pagoda, heart
and soul of devoutly Buddhist Myanmar and one of the forgotten
wonders of the world, is getting a facelift that will pile another ton
of gold onto its glittering central stupa.

The breathtaking 2,500-year-old pagoda is already decorated
with 2.3 tons of gold and encrusted with over 5,000 diamonds,
2,000 rubies as well as sapphires and other precious stones. >>

GS,
Great find, kind a blows holes in the anti-gold stories that say "99+%
of the gold ever mined is still in existance and available for sale. Bet even Ol49r will admit SOME gold never again hits the markets.
