Myth Hunters | 05: The Missing 8th Wonder of the World

In 1941 the Germanys looted one of the Soviet Union's most important art works, called the Amber Room. An extraordinary series of amber screens worth millions of pounds and considered, by many, the 8th wonder of the world.

It was taken to the Baltic city of Konigsberg. Four years later at the end of the war, it had vanished. So began one of the greatest treasure hunts of the twentieth century.


Myth Hunters tells the story of the real life quests for some of history's greatest legends. From the Nazis' search for the Holy Grail, to the Americans who hunted for pirate treasure in Vietnam; from the true story of the crystal skulls to the mystery of King Solomon's mines - this series uncovers the truth behind some of the most fabulous, romantic and deranged treasure hunts in modern history.
