During World War II, the Nazis found the invaluable room, tore it down, packed it in hundreds of crates, and took it to a destination that has never been discovered. One theory is that it was loaded onto a passenger ship that was sunk by a Soviet submarine. Another possible destination was the One Mountains in Germany where the Amber Room may have been buried in salt mines. The most popular theory however, is that the Amber Room was hidden in a lost, underground shelter somewhere in the city of Kongsberg, Germany The beautiful m has been called the eighth wonder of the world, and historians estimate that its value today would be around $142 million The search for the Amber Room continues to this day.
