1. The 8th Wonder of The World – The Amber Room
It’s described as the 8th wonder of the world. It was a gift given to Peter the Great of Russian from Prussia as a symbol of peace in 1716. It consisted of 6 tons of amber plates – a value of $150 million in today’s currency.
During WWII, German soldiers stole the room 36 hours after the Nazi’s arrival at Catherine Palace where they proceeded to dismantle it and transfer it to the Baltic Coast. The fate of the Amber Room is a mystery. Was the Amber Room destroyed during the war? Or was it placed in a secure hiding place?
If found, it could prove the most valuable piece of art in the world. Treasure hunters have searched far and wide for the Amber Room to no avail. In 1997, German police found a single panel from the room. Several people believe the Amber Room is likely within a huge underground storage network underneath Deutschneudorf, a municipality in Saxon, Germany.
Finally, Piotr Koper and Andreas Richter reported finding a Nazi gold train on September 18, 2015 which they claim could contain the original Amber Room. It was in south-west Poland; its location became known as result of a German man on his deathbed.
