In Episode 26 of the 5 Minute Mysteries podcast, we uncover the baffling mystery of the Amber Room, a priceless masterpiece that vanished without a trace during World War II. Originally crafted in the 18th century for the Prussian king, this opulent chamber, adorned with glowing amber panels, gold leaf, and mirrors, was later gifted to Russia and installed in the Catherine Palace. Seized by the Nazis in 1941, it was transported to Königsberg, where it disappeared in the final days of the war. Was it destroyed, hidden in a secret bunker, or lost at sea? Join us as we explore one of history’s greatest missing treasures.
