Already a week has past by again,
so time for a new level
Solution for level 40 ;read backwards
Answer ; Amber room
Image
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. The Amber Room was looted during World War II by Nazi Germany and brought to Königsberg. Knowledge of its whereabouts was lost in the chaos at the end of the war. Its fate remains a mystery, and the search continues.

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