In the 1700s, architects used six tons of amber, gold, and gemstones to create a room so

opulent it is widely considered the eighth wonder of the world.

It lasted for centuries until it was stripped down by Nazi soldiers during World War II

and relocated.

Was the room later destroyed in the bombs of war,

or was it tucked away in secret to remain hidden?

Today we're discussing the mysterious disappearance

of the Amber Room.

This is Red Web.

Welcome back Task Force to another episode of Red Web, the podcast all about unsolved mysteries, true crime, and the unknown.

I'm your resident mystery enthusiast Trevor Collins and joining me hearing about this case for the very first time, Alfredo Diaz. Would you be able to keep a secret like that? No. Well, it honestly, maybe. I feel like if I had

the knowledge, I could be like, ooh. Like if I knew aliens existed, if I was like, you know,

president, I'd be like, I don't know anything. It'd be tough, but I would know.

I think I could do it. If I, if I have booster boxes of Pokemon cards that are sealed,

that I have no urge whatsoever to touch, I feel like if I knew, oh, aliens or this Amber Room

where it is, what it is, et cetera, I'd be okay. I knew, oh, aliens or this Amber Room where it is, what it is, etc. I'd be okay. I'm like, it's my little secret. It's all to myself. I know it. I have the privilege of knowing it. You know what I mean? So you built up a tolerance by withholding booster boxes. If that's the litmus test, I failed. I'm exposing every secret in that secret book,

because as soon as I got Lord of the Rings magic the gathering cards, I tore into those boxes.

I couldn't help it. I got to look for the ring. It calls to me. It's my precious.

That's the thing, right? Like, if you found that ring, it's a million dollars.

It sold fast. It sold fast for's million dollars. It sold fast.

It sold fast for a million dollars.

But also how crazy would it have been if it didn't show up anywhere?
