lost and found

created in prussia in the first decade of the 18th century and given by the german kaiser to the russian tsar in 1716, the amber room was considered by some "the eighth wonder of the world"----for sixty years, it has been the focus of one of the greatest art mystery of all time since it disappeared after being looted by the nazis during world war ii----an entire room finished with amber panels ----well, they think they've found it, 60 feet underground. . . . .although there are some doubters as to whether it's really been found----we've been through this before, but maybe this time it's real.
