I just hope that the Amber Room is located someday.

What is the amber room?
The amber panels of the room were stolen by the Nazis. Some years ago a project was started to recreate the amber room from old photos. I don’t know if it was completed or not. But actual panels were started using amber found on the beaches of Baltic Sea but it was more difficult as decades of beachcombers had picked up a lot of the precious amber in sight but still there was amber found under the beach sand and rock and in the shallow sea shelf.
For those reading amber is fossilized tree sap and the yellow amber of the Baltics was from prehistoric trees that are extinct so the amber was rare and precious.
It took 40 years for the first amber room to be constructed. Photos of the room show it to be one grand piece of art.
Now from photos and recollections of people alive when it was still in the palace, it is said to have been the most beautiful room ever, that nothing then or since can be compared to it in terms of art and beauty, and intricate artwork sculpted as scenes in relief.
The Nazis sawed off the amber panels from the walls and stole them away to a train never to be found again. It would be interesting if the train that was found in this report contains the fabled amber room panels of the palace.
You should describe a little of the history for those reading as it is highly interesting. It is said to be a piece of art that rivals anything else.
The Amber Room may be on that train.
