A chamber decorated with gold leaf and amber panels, the Amber Room is full of treasure waiting to be found. The room was originally gifted to the Tsars by the Prussian royal family in 1716. During World War II, Nazi’s found the room in St. Petersburg, dismantled it, and hid it in a mystery location.
One rumor claims that the room was destroyed by allied bombing in 1944. Another claims the room was hidden in the fabled Nazi Gold Train, an artifact of war that was thought to be found in 2015. Excavation proved fruitless, though, and the real mystery persists to this day.
