Treasure Map
An exciting adventure story, which emphasizes the need for citizens to jealously guard their National treasures, artifacts and antiquities. The race is on by four different groups of artifact hunters, to discover the location of, and retrieve, a number of buried stolen ancient Artifacts, including a Bronze Head belonging to Botani Village. The ancient Bronze Head and other Artifacts had been stolen by 14th Century Portugese explorers, and hidden in the Botani-Kushi forest, as they escaped pursuing Botani Warriors. The Portugese explorers had produced a map showing where they had buried the artifacts. The map had surfaced at a Lisbon auction and purchased by DR. BUNK, a European artifacts dealer.
