Did they find the Amber Lamps?

The researchers are expected to enter the bunker in the coming days. It is unclear who will claim ownership of the vast treasure if it is discovered, with many experts putting the value of the room at at least £150m.

Am I sensing another Jerry Rivers moment? LOL

The priceless room which once belonged the the King of Prussia Peter the Great

Peter the Great was the Tsar of Russia. The Amber Room was given as a gift by Friedrich Wilhelm, the King of Prussia.

Journalists.

If it once belonged to the King of Prussia, would that not make it the German Amber Room?

Better hope it has not filled with water in 65 or so years.

I keep hearing stories of assorted newly discovered caves, mineshafts and bunkers as being the location of the amber room but nothing ever comes of the stories. Never even anything interesting mentioned after opening the locations.

Many had previously believed it, and other treasures, was on the liner Wilhelm Gustloff when it was sunk in 1945.

WILHELM GUSTLOFF

Wouldn't that be something if they did find it? I think the Russians reconstructed it.

Thanks Sunken Civ for the Ping

Tsarist Russia and the Romanovs have fascinated me since childhood.
I have every book on Anastasia, Catherine the Great, all the architecture and Palaces.
I had the great privilege of visiting Saint Petersburg in the early 90’s, and visited the Catherine Palace at Tsarskeloe Selo. So much had been destroyed by the Nazis in WWII , and the place where the fabled Amber Room stood was bare. A small collection of Amber objects rescued by the staff and buried in the gardens during the war were displayed. The original
room had been filled with such objects, all now lost.
I am hopeful that this great treasure will be found. These things usually do surface if they have not been broken up. I look forward to the day when people can visit Petersburg and see it in it’s rightful place.

The Germans took the Amber Room to Konigsberg. The Russians took Konigsberg to Russia.

I guess that makes it even.
