The sensation is already a few days ago, but not less spectacular - Polish Researchers have probably found the Amber Room , a 68-year-old puzzle seems now solved. But first things first. The Amber Room, an on behalf of the first Prussian King Frederick I-made room with walls covered in amber elements, was originally built in the Berlin City Palace. In 1716 it was given away by the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm I to the Russian Tsar Peter the Great. Almost two centuries it was in the Catherine Palace in Tsarskoe Selo near St. Petersburg. From 1942 it was in Königsberg Castle issued since the end of the Second World War, it was missing.
about his whereabouts, there was an almost unmanageable Abundance of allegation, conjecture and speculation. In the literature only identified several hundred places where it should be hidden, including the wreck of the Wilhelm Gustloff. Numerous domestic and foreign researchers had searched in vain for the Amber Room. Until now.
The geophysicists akademski Geofyziski Warsaw have developed a completely new method of localization from gravimetry and geomagnetism. "The idea was actually very easy. In contrast to many geoscience problems, such as the search for oil, we knew the dimensions of the Amber Room in all three dimensions accurately," said lead researcher Dr. Gregory Wazerski. "We needed So just a gravimetric measurement cavity with a hashsum analysis of known dimensions combine. . Cavities in the appropriate size, we found, however, abound in Eastern Europe "
The next step, the amber itself: Wazerski and his colleagues have shown that amber the Earth's magnetic field during its solidification freezes, as well as basaltic lava .. at the mid-ocean ridges, this is done can still find millions of years after that date and thus an aeromagnetic measurements over half Eastern Europe brought quickly promising candidates -. disengaging the microgravity-troops could And actually: one half-buried beneath the cellar of a farm near Lublin was the appropriate signature. "It is only here, there's no question. Unfortunately, we can not even drill so as not to damage the valuable ceiling. Other results might follow in the coming days." The farmer testified that he used the room only for the storage of potatoes and knew nothing about it. The investigators he did not want in his basement.
know when the most precious artistic treasures of past centuries could move to light, is still questionable.
