Gdansk Amber Museum
In 700 BC, the ancient Greek poet Homer described the amber beads on the gold chain in the "Odyssey" "sparkling the luster of the sun", which is the earliest mention of amber. In the 1st century BC, the ancient Romans' favor for amber created the prosperity of amber. The Nile Emperor's Palace is decorated with amber. Wearing amber beads and amulets is considered to prevent thyroid enlargement. The upper woman is also used to holding an amber ball in the palm to remove odor. According to the ancient Roman writer Pliny, the price of a small amber far exceeds the value of a strong slave. If you ask a Polish "when did the amber processing in Poland start?" They will say, "Start here since there was humanity." It can be seen that its history is long.
However, the ancient Romans did not know where the savvy merchants sold their amber. Until 60 AD, Nero sent people to investigate the source of amber, first arrived at the Danube, and later discovered the Weiss, which originated in the mountains of southern Poland. The Wa River, the river running through the north and south of Poland, is in today's Gdansk Bay. The voyage set up a direct link between the Mediterranean region and the Baltic Sea, the amber origin, and opened up a very important “Amber Roadâ€.
Gdansk is the capital of Poland's Pomeranian province and the largest city and most important seaport in the northern coastal region of Poland. The city’s famous Amber Museum was originally a prison tower and is now one of Gdansk’s landmarks. It was established by the city government in 2006 to showcase a variety of precious amber collections to tourists and citizens, including the treasures of the town hall. - Lizard insects.
The museum instructor will tell you that there are three points to be aware of when choosing insects. The type of inclusions, the integrity of the insects, and the size of the insects. Like reptiles, especially lizards, it is definitely a factor in the collection of amber, and ants fight such amber. It is the auction price.
A lizard worm that is placed separately in the museum is a treasure of the town hall. It was discovered near a sand dune in Gdansk in June 1997. It is said that there are only three ambers in the world containing lizard limbs. Under the microscope, every detail of the lizard's body is clearly visible, with only a section of the tail missing. The paleontologist identified the amber, and its slightly curved chest and missing tails proved that the lizard was alive at the moment of being wrapped in resin.
The lizard, a reptile that wants to get rid of the bondage of large pieces of oil, is actually very easy, so it is a treasure in amber, and the world can't find a few. The museum also specially hired a full-time archaeologist to take care of it. The reason why the lizard failed to break away from this viscous resin has been untested, but the amber that freezes its life is now worthless.
In the Amber Museum in Gdansk, there are a large collection of precious collections, as well as a small amount of amber art made in the nautical age.
The jewellery box, made in 1724, is made of amber. The box is decorated with amber decorations of different shapes and colors. There are ten small drawers embedded in the box, each of which can be opened separately. The top of the box is a child with a horn. The statue was carved with expensive white ivory.
The amber nightingale designed by the artist Berg but Miro is one of the few works in the museum that visitors can play. It is inspired by Andersen's Song of the Nightingale. The round belly of the nightingale is polished by a complete piece of amber. Every year, the most lively singing competition in Poland, the organizer of the Sopot Singing Festival, will copy a new nightingale to the winner of the first prize of the competition.
Step out of the museum and walk to Mariaka Street, where you will find the softness of the "Amber Heart of the World". The glass display cabinets on the street are filled with the most amber products, rings, pendants and stud earrings that the owner is proud of, attracting customers. Enter the back shop.
Every winter, when the waves roll the amber deposited on the bottom of the sea to the shore, it is the best time to salvage amber. Originally used a small net mesh pocket to salvage on the beach and shallower sea water, the seaweed can often find a lot of small particles of amber, or use the iron shovel to dig the shore of the sand, carefully filter the sand can also find some.
In order to get a large piece of high quality amber, you must use professional diving equipment to sink into the amber ore layer at the bottom of the sea. It is dangerous and hard to find amber in the cold and dark seabed in winter. It needs to be done by divers with professional mining experience. There is a lot of hard work behind the beauty.
