remainders of what different peoples valued in the past and continue to value now It can also be said that cultural relics are more than works of art they are symbols of history and the people who

lots of ambers It was a gift given to Peter the Great the King of Russia by the King of Prussia Frederick William I It was given the name because almost thousand tons of natural ambers were used to

it represents the culture and a period of history in St Petersburg It is a trace and feature surviving from a past age and serving to remind people of a lost time 10 Closing down by doing a quiz Fill
