among the most famous. A chamber constructed completely out of amber and gold

of the World.<BR><BR>Finished in 1709, it graced the palace of the King of 
Prussia until he presented it as a gift to Russian Tsar Peter the Great in 1716. 
It remained in Russia for over two hundred years. And then it

hide their famous treasure by covering it with a layer of dull wallpaper. The 
Nazis, however, were not easily fooled. It took them a mere 36 hours to take the 
Amber Room apart, pack it into crates, and load it onto trains bound for the 
German city of Konigsberg.<BR><BR></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://kikistrikeny.blogspot.com/2008/02/has-worlds-most-famous-lost-treasure.html">When the war was over in 1945, the Soviets tried to reclaim the Amber Room.
