I don’t know exactly how old this treasure is, but it might fit your guidelines. It was discovered in Berlin in 1913.

So did the Soviets loot the treasures from the ancient German city of Troy?

Sorry. The Soviets won. It is legitimate spoils of war - and it costs me to say that for Commies!

Not that I’m any Putin fan, but looting took place on both sides. His response to Merkel should have been, “Sure. You return the Amber Room and we’ll return the Eberswalde Hoard.”

Frau Merkel, considering what the Germans did to the Russian people between 1941 and 43, and even counting the vengeance meted out in 1945, you’ve got little or no basis for complaint. It sucks to start a war and lose.

Has all the art looted by the Nazis been returned? However, not to blame Merkel for that.

Return the Amber Room to Russia and maybe they'll comply.

It would seem that the spoils go to the victor. It would be like Israel giving back the Golan Heights as a moral equivalent. No way, no how.

And nobody knows more about looted treasure than the Germans.

Feh.
Really...had not the victors of WWI been so vindictive towards Germany, Germany might not have been seduced by the vile songs of the NAZI’s and silently nodded as the NAZI’s wreaked havoc all over Europe.
Europe ‘’asked’’ for WWII and got it.
In spades.

Berliners call the Russian Tomb of the Unknown Soldier there, the “Tomb of the Unknown Looter”....
