THE 8TH WONDER OF THE WORLD...

The story of the Amber Room, dubbed the "8th Wonder of the World", has been a real life unsolved mystery filled with thievery and treasure hunting. The fairy tale room was crafted almost entirely of 6 tons of glowing translucent amber. It was a gift from the Prussian King Frederic the First to Russian Czar Peter the Great in 1716. But during World War II Hitler instructed Nazis to loot the treasured room and bring it back to Germany where it belonged. As the tide of the war changed and Germans worried about the safety of the room and supposedly packed it up and hid it. But no one really knows what actually happened to it. Some say it was lost during the bombing other say it was hidden. It has been a mystery that has plagued Russians for years. Treasure hunters have pursued countless theories about the whereabouts of the room but it has NEVER BEEN FOUND. In 1999 the reconstruction of this room began in Russian and after about 4 years and $150 million dollars a replica room was finally constructed with a few original pieces and opened in 2003. After 300 years the mystery of the original Amber Room still lives on..
