Fool's Gold^^^

Conquistador Francisco Pizarro with superior weapons ruthlessly massacred the Incas and looted tons of gold.  The hoard was so great, he could not take it all back in his ships and hid most of it.

Father Samuel got an ancient map during a confession from an explorer who killed an antique dealer and stole it from him. The map led greedy Father Samuel deep into the Andes. At a remote village, he managed to buy a pony and made his final push to an obscure cave. He managed to cleared out some rubble from collapsed passages and there, lo and behold, was Pizarro's treasure!

He fully loaded his pony and started the trek back. Unknown to him, he was being stalked by bandits. Suddenly they made their move. He tried to escape on the pony but it collapsed as it was too overloaded.

Needless to say, he and 
a Full Andes Pony are soon Martyred.
(A fool and his money are soon parted)

2 dedications this time.
To the destroyed civilizations on every continent throughout history. Aside from the devastating massacre and genocide, the victors also forced their religion, values and culture. So much  interesting, valuable and important knowledge has been wiped out.

Also dedicated to those of us who have lost their hard earned money by lending, investing, giving money or just getting outright cheated  by conmen.  Sweet talkers with get-rich schemes or sad stories are far more effective than the mugger in the street.
