When the Nazis invaded Leningrad (St Petersburg) in 1941, the Soviets tried to hide their famous treasure. However, Nazi was not easily fooled. It took only 36 hours to take the contents of Amber Room into the chest and brought it with the train. It was taken to the German city, Konigsberg. When the war ended in 1945, the Soviets tried to reclaim again the Amber Room. Unfortunately, the eighth wonder of the World was never seen again.
Over the past sixty years, countless rumors have been made about the existence of Amber Room. Some people said that it was destroyed in the bombing of Konigsberg and some people even claimed that it was buried somewhere in the Ore Mountains or buried in a submarine which sank to the bottom of the Baltic Sea. Recently, the German treasure hunters said that they have found a forgotten underground cave that contained Nazi gold. They believed that the Amber Room was also hidden inside. In fact, Opening the cave will be difficult because it is known that Nazi put a mine in their treasure with explosives.
