Inside The $500 Million Missing Room, The Amber Room

Welcome back, Richest fans! All the way back in World War Two, the incredible, over 200 hundred-year-old Amber Room disappeared off the face of the Earth. One moment it was in a secure facility, the next, it was seemingly destroyed in an attack. However, that’s the official story. And there are a lot of holes within the tale. There are many other theories on what actually happened to this $500 million art. Today, we’re going to explore the history of this real-life mystery and the possible options for the Amber Room’s fate. As well as see the reconstructed room put up in its absence.

Now for the spoiler paragraph. If you like surprises, we suggest you stop reading and watch the video multiple times. Firstly, we’ll explore how the Amber Room was created on the request of King Frederick The First of Prussia. How the room was moved from Berlin, Germany to Catherine Palace in Saint Petersburg, Russia. All due to a pact with the then Russian Tsar and Prussia. We’ll take a look at the history of amber, its value, and what it’s used for. There’ll probably be a nod to Jurassic Park! We’ll then see how the Soviet Union lost possession of the room due to Operation Barbarossa. As well as see the new Amber Room. Then explore the various theories on what happened to the old room. Such as the strange story involving the then Soviet premiere, Leonid Brezhnev. As well as the recent discovery involving the remains of the Karlsruhe Ship found in the Baltic Sea.

I think the Amber room had its pieces scattered among multiple locations.

Around 4:00 yioun state that Germany had a pact with Russia, but "the Germans decided to break that pact." However, it's my understanding that Hitler never intended to honor that pact or, in fact, any agreement they had with the Soviets, as he despised Communism. Another example of his disdain was his secret agents' machinations to convince the ever-paranoid Stalin to liquidate a large number of his officer corps. (Meanwhile, Hitler constantly kept his own officer corps virtually at each other's throats because of his distrust of them!) The loss of the Amber Room is yet another example of the senseless waste of war. Even the photos of the modern replica are so beautiful as to give me a lump in my throat. Quelle dommage! Stay safe, everyone.

My favorite theory of what happened to The Amber Room is that the current Amber Room on display is the Original Amber Room! And Using the multiple theories of The Amber Room's fate ads to the value, the mystique of the room. After all, it was once called "the 8th Wonder of the World', wasn't it? I doubt this theory, but I would like to think this one is true--not buried is some Silver mine or at the bottom of the Baltic Sea.

High up in the mountains exist a cave with not only the Amber Room crated but treasures of art, gold, silver and jewels 💎 When it is time the treasure will reappear.

[ChuckHaney]

"... the amber was old and began crumbling ..." ? Yeah, I'd say millions-of-years is pretty old.

They probably still have all the pieces it and someone you never know in my heart sunk to the bottom of the ocean

Random fact

A dead body can make noises that sound like moans and groans, especially if the person received emergency medical care prior to their death.
