German amateur archaeologists continue to search for the legendary Amber Room (as well as many others). The attraction was once stolen by the Nazis and taken to Germany. Archaeologists believe that it can be found somewhere in the caves near Dresden. Amateurs are sure that during the war the Nazis who stole the room built bunkers under the Hartenstein hills. It is there that the treasure is kept, which was previously located in Konigsberg (now Kaliningrad), and even earlier was taken out by soldiers from the occupied territories near St. Petersburg. In the vicinity of these caves there is a railway station, where a train from Königsberg was seen in 1945.
Armed with search equipment, the experts went in search of the caves. The study yielded results - enthusiasts were lucky enough to find a large group of voids in the proposed location. All this suggests that there really are military shelters, however, this does not at all guarantee that the treasure was hidden there. Archaeologists claim that a certain "trusted source" informed them about the location of the treasure.
It is curious that this is not the first case with the search for treasures left over from Nazi Germany. Earlier, an amateur found a radioactive part, which, in his opinion, is a fragment of a Nazi atomic bomb. The man hopes to find a forgotten secret center for the development of weapons of the Second World War, but for now, he faces criminal liability for "black archeology" and storage of radioactive metals.
