and let's say together parts of our community life on the service of this research is now on the definitely the postwar should be coming. i corner of the federal republic, the good gemini, so to speak, then the up, if it was really the, i'm the really mean those crates is not known for sutton. the from probably someone who has already given us a good delete. one of the cruise is the right one to follow, but which is the
12:31 am
they have something in common. they're both great cultural treasures with mysterious past involving global politics. we tell the true story of the long last amber room and explained the dispute between cairo and berlin, over the legendary bust of never treating arts unveiled on the trail of artworks shrouded in legend and f a t t almost 50 centimeters tools. some 3400 years old with an estimated value of 400000000 euros. the bosses on display input in, is it an invested us that egypt i own with lots about this? i'm busted that'll because then invest that entails at the dramatic exchange. so we send the 50 to, but have we, this is towards them from the ground all 3 of the girls or they think for i, but i can do that. i don't think we have if you send an investment that one way is a whole the whole stage to does and that's
12:32 am
a t z actually belong to the best of method tc combines feminine chum and power. the egyptian queen, with possibly the most famous profile in the world, is a global icon, a role model in the symbol absolute beauty system, iron. these are the ups or what we have this absolute symmetry. hyatt, the slenderness of the face, the long neck. this incredibly well proportions, mouth system morning. and then of course there's the in lead. i make an eye that really looks at our has a special radiance. how can i get this onto the after being buried in the sands of egypt to thousands of years, never changing, has been in germany for the past century. the queen holds cold at the noise museum, died in captivating hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. i lived in berlin
12:33 am
for 2 years and i find it very difficult. it's not her place. it's just extra shame . berlin has been making lots of money of never seen the. ready ready ready lot at the boss, please egypt in the 1st place, the to understand this, we need to go back to 1912 when egypt was not used to suffer in states and not to put each control archaeologist from france, england and germany was scouring the land and search refreshes to the museums. this fight, it was common practice back then, just as the children state didn't have the means of the resources, i was prepared to allow the excavation campaigns on the condition that half of the objects would ultimately remain lane in egypt. and that's
12:34 am
the one such a contract with 6 you lose by jim and entrepreneur, jane siemens, a. we'll see, patron spelling museums. he used his fortune to finance excavations my german audiologist would freak boycott on december 6th, 1912. the g mega sensational discovery. a tell l. amana on the nile, the full time was over joyce, when it came time to the antiquities department to design the funds, the boss went to germany and does compensation a wink ultra piece remained an agent movie advise after months that has
12:35 am
been speculation that the boss may have been sprinkled with this was done so that the color and beauty would not immediately apparent. so it could hardly be said that everything was done in the right way. so gun is goodman comb about so cold egypt have kept in if a t t in the country, egypt, or under layer of colonialism. the ultimate colonialism, the british colonialism and the french, they took control of the intake, what the service. so there was no addictions income to be able to cook a service that the because it to the money and some dollars of the time were created under the conditions of empire. these of those no country would accept today, giving away haul from the objects with some things egypt, a body shop just a few years later. so different t t had been found a few years later,
12:36 am
she would be in cairo today. in other words, the rules themselves and the legs that you timothy, need to be questioned, make it to me, teeth and egyptian art colon, who left the country. not her name means the beautiful one has come. she came to rome and shaken the for on a game plan together with her husband. i'm un hotel, the fools who later became i cannot and you send to the throne. in 1353, b, c. and in both his wife of just 15 in the business of ruling like no king before him together and against the will of the priests. the couple of polished almost old dieties paying homage only to ask for the sun god it was. so the root of conduct and f a t t is considered one of the great culture revolutions. yeah. the abolition of many gods to focus on a single day or 2 and a relatively abstract data to. yeah that's, that's the,
12:37 am
that's least is beatrice lane really is the only creational force that exams. that's not until it was clear that all other gods with the side light in this new constellation, this new theology, it plays an extremely important role in an empty water. well, she has to administer finance she is an icon, not just for a ancient egyptian within but also for mother and women and each to because women in the process all fighting for women equality. i actually look up at such women from history in 1917, the boss left at the time of egypt for the name, a leading metropolis of the modern age to it remained on the looking key for more than 10 years in the private possession of entrepreneur jane seemed one then on the 1st of april, 192 and for the past was presented to the public for the 1st time and caused
12:38 am
a sensation. fatigue enchanted the masses with a simple elegance that was in keeping with the spirits of the more naij. she even shed the look of 1920 field stones like my lane, a decrease and critic off of the notes. and then if it was 1st exhibited in the spring of 1924. and the substitute from the mountains for have a ton with made in the fall, or if it's the way we can speak of a century of the moans for the return of the bosses. we've got the photo spiking off to egypt became a sovereign states. they offered an exchange, the light side statue of the high priest running to the legendary post of nasa t t jane seymour and gave the green light a deep sleep archaeologist. an egyptologist consulted in the language of the same opinion that this is why we should go ahead because he's been here from an opt historical and egypt to logical point of view. the past was not as valuable as they
12:39 am
thoughts. a new critics walk would be a waiting, waiting situation, but the public, so things differently influx to the museum. that was a string of all schools and the press against the decision, which was then with us. in the end, the opinion of the experts counted less than that of the general public. and you guys, that's impressive. this will click on the 1933, the national socialist seized power in germany and the bus to become a political point in the show of strength between nations. propaganda minister use a double saw an opportunity to capitalize on it's written. the dodge is the german of far to use good, both in particular. so the return of nif at t t has a useful strategy to win egypt over to the side in the past. so against britain, it was hit the who stopped the hand of
12:40 am
the kid even wanted to have the museum built in hit on. but how could any gyptian woman be an icon from nazi germany? the in this, during the nazi period there was a series of appropriations of nef, a t t as a kind of area. and which of course does not seem immediately intuitive, but she was a woman who propagated a son called him, which was also integral for the nazis you to the. the past remain didn't germany, even though now even jane single one was arguing for its risk ton when he donates the start to of an effort to, to, to the validity of them said that i gave you enough for 50 on the condition that if
12:41 am
it junctions would request the bus, but it must be to fit your to. but do, simon was george. and of course, a part of the nice thing that fits them in germany. his wishes, word of mouth, respected by the museum, ordered by the service by the 2nd world war devastation building and our treasures you were going to buy. the auto body will disclose to the students and kind of going to talk to you. and if it's interesting, the nazis brought the precious spots to safety in an underground salt mine. the treasure tripe was filled with gold balls and thousands of works of us, including paintings by rembrandt, dura and fall to charley. shortly before the end of the war, american soldiers discovered the boston the mind and moved it to the central on collecting point in v spun the following year. and f a t t was back in the spotlight as the bill in the district. now they don't get back up, they didn't put any email data or they got it. i think i saw them
12:42 am
definitely enough. in the postwar period, she became an icon of the early federal republic said good gemini, so to speak. when you see the pictures, it almost seems like a longing for a septic affection of the old, the dog he is. it's a kind of reputed viewing of it. so that's how these pictures seem to some and sound. so come, i'm disappear then came method tc eventually would turn to the need since 2009. she's had her own room and the noise museum, the name, and is the undisputed stock as the chips in collection. she's a big ahead of the c team, a long seen as part of jimmy's cultural identity. she's also the cool, the very successful marketing strategy. the need for
12:43 am
tc has long been part of the gym and cultural heritage. for the past 100 years, they've been official demands for the return of the artifact from egypt. but the pressure on cultural heritage foundation says there is no reason to change the 19 searching division of funds. i don't use data is not true, it is on this one. our stance is of course, that we 1st of all adhere to the legal situation with the flag and it provides a clear basis to provide the best of here on the logo. i want to push to here is a foundation based on regulations from the colonial era over a 100 years ago. the older generations are still holding on this imperial lift 5. this is of our last start, but i think they also termination look at the different they have
12:44 am
a different ethical code then they think museums need to catch up to the 21st century city. it's just a matter of when and who didn't have enough courage to correct the mistakes of the past. 2 dogs and if a t t belong to germany or egypt at the end of the day, what's legal and was not over is the same thing. this is the story of one of your greatest treasures, the legendary and the room, an entire room carved from and by the gold of the baltic, spectacular, priceless and missing without price for more than a few years. the of the room and its face is one of the greatest mysteries of the 20th century. for more than 200 years, its home was here,
12:45 am
that's catherine's palace, the gates of some petersburg plates in leningrad. in 1959, germany in faded, poland triggering world war 2. in 1941 german troops advanced east towards lemongrass. they murdered and planted, and cynthia and the room on its last great journey fortune. see, cuz the still searching for the tricia to the state and the in 1716 prussian teen william frederick the 1st game, the and the room to russian saw p to the great in exchange for some rather impressive soldiers. the wonder of the world, a chamber unlike any seen before, covered with andrew and gold that glowed like the sun. its value today is estimated to 200000000 euros for 225 years. the emperor room was at the catherine palace and
12:46 am
pushed in a suburb of what's now again called saint petersburg. until 1941. when the nazis advanced into the soviet union in a most and this will, of extermination. soviet troops was unable to save the legendary treasure from the gym and army. of course, the germans found it very quickly and did what they called securing, which was nothing of the routing. it's called the armies up to 10 various clients in the nazi stage at will fit loan to put his finger of museum in limits and his deputy, him and good and also collected ox for various organizations of the nazi stage when to on a losing spray in german occupied tote trees such as the soviet union stuff . what happens when c m,
12:47 am
the reason is not so unique of the whole not unusual. that's part of a large scale. let's say polluting program carried out by the germans in the soviet union and did all the territories they put in your um, that's beaten and it will cost them up. soldiers dispatch will be the room in 1940, want packed it up in crates and sent it westwood to clinics. but now cold, killing and grabbed the clinics back. what's a good destination for you to follow up jiggs from eastern europe because it was basically not within range of the allied. busy for the would be some pressure, it was genuine, it considered a safe region, must pause and got into that. some of the sort of your in the winter of 1941, the and the room was project displayed in tunics the castle but not for long. the city came under attack from british forces and the castles summit extensive damage
12:48 am
. the red army was advancing to end on june 6th 1944 us troops landed in normandy such influences. 19 thoughtful was the year when the boat was fine and the last for the juvenile rice, the treasures and the museums was stored and muffled everywhere. some were taken and tunnels. bunkers and sellers to protect them away from possible destruction. and i'm the for because you have to do this happen in tunics book. in march 1944, there was some indications that the ample room was again dismantled and packed into crates. but then was, isn't since that moment in march 1944. we've heard numerous witness statements from people who say they saw these crane the wherever it was actually didn't come. the room in those plates is no, no, i'm for a certain percentage dispatched. and some of our then this, the system regardless of the trial of the treasures soon gets lost in the chaos of
12:49 am
chaos that was sent as tens of thousands of germans fled east of prussia from the advancing great army. the landry, westwood was blocked. so hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians which would be evacuated by c. one of the vessels used for the evacuation was perform a cruise ship. the little helm pushed close for several views during the nazi regime. it provided recreation and amusement to german vacation is on january the 30th 1945 at 1 10 pm. the ship set sail with thousands of refugees on board. it became one of the largest ship dishonest as in history. when soviets submarines torpedoed and sank until home go slow. all the 9000 lives were lost. was the ample room also one boat the coast club or had it been packed up earlier and sent to the
12:50 am
gym and rush to be here. and there was a whole series of mining tunnels, in the german advice in which large numbers of treasures were stored. and the great number of treasures were full of 10, some of which were then also found the fight. i lied to goes on st. took the famous monuments, men, for example, on the other things at the end, the monuments man says seasons the is a couple of money. so you can the, the monuments and what are experts recruited by the united states to find out what's looked at by the nazis. the
12:51 am
the other side 1000000 pieces as to the allies went searching and found incredible quantities of loose. it's about the nazis. but the, and the room was not among them, not in any tunnel notion, any cell types of the fact that the m, the written was not found in these mine target store in the known ones is in my view of this one, this kind of indication that it never left mine a co next but in east are fresh from. oh, much us paused and most the so was the and the room really stealing to next book at the end of the wall. in
12:52 am
april 1945. the see she was in flames. did the and the treasure done in the process last forever? that's one of many possibilities in this intriguing case. a mystery of the 20th century. what is the amber room perhaps lying at the bottom of the baltic sea? is it in the critic tombs of clinics, the council? why has no one has found the ample room? someone is how it is probable that someone has already given us the decisive true there is property over the good lead. that might be true. among all the crews we hear about which one that's the big crucial question, the funding so we're a research this man, mice of nuns, eric coughing the feed gallery towards the nazis in east prussia. he publicly gave the old or what was to happen with the and the room. he liked to use that knowledge
12:53 am
to safe, as long as she likes to his very life depended on his trying to keep the authorities interested in the end. the room and his knowledge of it because cole, who was initially able to go into hiding, was discovered in 1949 quote, transferred to power and fried, and sentenced to death. he then basically spent the rest of his life repeatedly providing clues, repeatedly, trying to like trials in order to make himself important. and in order to save himself so that both he took that knowledge to the great religion to the empire room has become launch of the laws, trisha, hunters and scientists have searched the and the room for decades throughout europe and the federal republic of germany. and in communist east germany, private individuals, government agencies, and above all secret services such as the east gym and state security. the stars
