Solution for level 40 ;read backwards
Answer ; Amber room

The Amber Room was created from 1701 to 1709 in Prussia and remained at Charlottenburg Palace until 1716 when it was given by Prussian king Friedrich Wilhelm I to his then ally, Tsar Peter the Great of the Russian Empire.

and lucky55 followed in her footsteps

[teetsa]

Friday night again,
another week has past by
solution for level 43 is;
kings in the Shang dynasty
Answer; Wo Ding
Wo Ding is traditionally held to be a Shang Dynasty King of China but recent archaeological evidence has thrown this into doubt.
Oracle script inscriptions on bones unearthed at Yinxu do not list him as one of the Shang kings.
The late Sh?ng oracle bone writings, along with a few contemporary characters in a different style cast in bronzes, constitute the earliest significant corpus of Chinese writing, which is essential for the study of Chinese etymology, as Sh?ng writing is directly ancestral to the modern Chinese script.

Oracle script on animal bones or turtle shells 14th -11th centuries BCE to ca. 1200-1050 BCE.
The winner for this level is; Lucky55
Level 44

Friday night treasurehunt time!
solution for level 44
use only the letters who appear twice on the board
answer; white cloud
and the winner and only solver is ...Lucky55

The temple was first constrcted in 8th century and was called the Tian Chang Temple. It housed a statue of Lao Zi. In 1202 the main halls burned down but the statue was saved. In 1224, Genghis Khan ordered the reconstruction of the temple. It now came to be known as the White Cloud Temple, a name that has endured. Today it is one of China's oldest and largest Taoist temples, housing the office of Taoist Association of China.
