The Missing Amber Room

The Missing Amber Room 

The construction of the Amber Room started in 1701. It initially took 10 years to build, and became the 8th wonder of the world until it vanished during World War II. The suspicions vary as to the Amber Room's whereabouts. After being passed down from generation to generation in the Soviet Union/Russia, it was taken by the Nazis during their looting and bombing invasions. When Konigsberg Castle was bombed in now Kaliningrad, it was suspected that the treasured room was destroyed. It was also suspected that it was packed in to a vessel for transport when the ship was destroyed by a submarine strike. If the Amber Room wasn't destroyed during the war, it was secretly moved into an undisclosed location. Most have been quiet about the matter, and some have died suspiciously after speaking of the whereabouts.
