| Abstract | Here in Dublin we are pulling down houses and other buildings of some historic merit. Believe it or not, in Russia, rickety financial situation and all, they are restoring their historic past. Even, and it is hard to believe, palaces of the Tsars. In the last war the Germans stripped the Catherine Palace in Tsarskoe Selo, now Pushkin, near Leningrad, of its brilliant, unique Amber Room, once, it is claimed 'the eighth wonder of the world'. Anyway, it is said that six tons of amber, this fossilised resin we were writing about recently, backed with gold leaf vanished. An archaeologist Paul Bahn, writing in the Sunday Times magazine recently, said it took a team of craftsmen 10 years to carve. Anyway, the Germans came in 1941 and took it all away and it has still not been found. But the Russians are recreating it. |
