A trio of aging sleuths - homeopath Leonhard Blume, 73, scientist Günter Eckardt, 67, and georadar specialist Peter Lohr, 71 - are convinced the missing Amber Room of the Russian Tsars lies in the Prince's Cave in the Hartenstein hills near Dresden.
Third Reich scientists used the cave complex during the war - but all records of what went on there have mysteriously vanished from local archives.
Lohr used radar imaging to detect underground booby traps and what appear to be bunkers under the soil.
He scanned the hill in September after claiming that a 'reliable source' told him of the missing treasure's whereabouts in 2001.
'The hideout is underground is above the railway line, where in April 1945 a train from Königsberg was stopped,' he said. Königsberg, now Kaliningrad belonging to Russia, was formerly the capital of East Prussia where the Amber Room was once stored.
He also said he has evidence that treasure belonging to the last monarch of Imperial Germany - Kaiser Wilhelm II who went into exile in Holland in 1918 after his defeat in WW1 - is stored in the complex.
Eckardt said; ... "Georadar and dowsing measurements reveal a a system of secret tunnels beneath the cave system itself.
The Amber Room consists of panels containing six tonnes of amber resin, took ten years to complete and is valued at some £200million in today's money.
Peter the Great received the room as a gift from the King of Prussia in 1716 and brought it to his new capital, St Petersburg.
The 16-feet of jigsaw-puzzle style panels were constructed of more than 100,000 perfectly fitted pieces of amber.
In 1755, it was moved to the Catherine Palace at Tsarkoe Selo, 17 miles south of the Imperial Russian capital.

Once you get past Lord Kinbote, nothing to worry about but the Lava Men.
The explanation that is widely accepted is that the Amber Room was destroyed when the Red Army basically flattened Konigsburg.

Well, that is not anywhere near to what I have read.
You may be interested in reading more about the looting Germany did during WWII. If so, I suggest “Loot and Stolen Treasury”, by Ivan Lindsay.
The details are truly disturbing, but also fascinating.
Beware Gorgonzola, the Cheese Monster.

They found ‘clues’... that’s about it so far...
Well, it appears these guys believe Hitler evacuated the treasure before pulling back from Konesburg.
I hope someone finally found it. If so, it would be the most spectacular buried treasure find of all time.
Would not be abscounted offense they used a forklift and a good accoauntant. Or accountuncle.
