I think that amber is a clue or inside of amber is a clue. I read somewhere that some creatures were kept alive inside of amber in the ice age. i don't know any truth to it but it sounds like Cahill activity.


The creature in the amber thing you're thinking of was made popular by Jurassic Park. They supposedly found a piece of amber with a prehistoric mosquito inside that had drunk the blood of a dinosaur. The blood let them clone the dinos.

The problem with this hypothesis is that they've yet to find a piece of amber containing an ancient mosquito that drank its fill of dino DNA right before immediately getting stuck in tree sap (amber is fossilized tree sap - especially pine tree sap). The immediacy of all the steps is so important so that the blood isn't metabolized (digested) by the bug to the point that it wouldn't be of any use. Then there's the problem of having to gather together a large number of these insects to actually get enough blood together to make it worth while. And then on top of that they've got to hope that they get enough of just one particular animal.

It's pretty much not gonna happen. Though amber is still a neat material since it's basically a precious stone. Still might have some baring on the 39 Clues - I just don't think it's going to be any insect or creature frozen in amber.

What if they put something in a animal on purpose than but it in amber? there could be a clue in the animal in the amber, after all we are cahills.

 		if Amber is a clue then it probably will be the book 4 clue- I think that it was Amber the ejyptans used to preserve scarab beetles.

Also, as part of a clue, the diamond clue is part of the diamond, could it be the same???

Amber is fossilized tree sap, emphasis on fossilized and tree sap. Fossils take literally ages to form, and tree sap takes even longer. I forget the exact time it takes, but I'd say that if you stuck something in tree sap today we'd be out of the quaternary before it became amber.

Location: Around the world, to look for the 22nd clue.

 		A clue might be in amber. In King Tutankhamen's tomb, there might be those amber pieces that was injected with another substance. Both might be clues. Amber might be the "important thing" that Kate stole from Thomas. Then she added another piece of information. I dunno. Two clues in one book. That'll be pretty good.

PS. Kapow, I know you're ummm... desparate to become a veteran, but stop the 7 posts in a row already. You should just try to do it like everybody else. If you have any other ideas, use something called the EDIT button. It's found by the bottom of you're post. Oh, and post ideas ABOUT the 39 clues. Not like...

 		According to a site dedicated to amber (geology professor runs it) most of the world's amber is 30-90 million years old.

This would make it quite difficult to put something in the resin that becomes amber. Plus, because it's considered a gem stone - even though it isn't technically one - it'd be pretty obvious if somebody had drilled into it to put something inside since you can't patch a gem stone really.

 		Geneology
I made this into a new subject by accident and I don't know how to delete it. I'm sorry, I'm new.

I have been researching the actual family trees of historical figures included in the Cahill family (I was trying to see if some of them are actually related). I realized that Marie Antoinette's branch was never revealed and so I used google.

I found out that she is descended from Philip II of Spain, making Marie Antoinette a Tomas. But she doesn't seem to have Tomas-like qualities. Then I thought that maybe, since I believe Madrigals are a combination of all four branches, she is a Madrigal. Then I did some more research and things began to really mix up.

Marie Antoinette's great-niece was Marie Louise, Duchess of Parma. She was the wife of Napoleon, who was a Lucian. Now, why would a Tomas marry a Lucian? Her father, Francis II, made her marry him in order to strengthen the ties between Austria and France, but maybe it was to strengthen the bond between branches at well?

Maybe because they didn't know.

Well, things about slacking off are about the 39 clues. How far we have come along with all our ideas. Yes okay, I just don't want you to strain your eyes reading a really long post.

As we know Marie Antoinette was helping Franklin and Mozart in OFN. if she wasn't a lucian why would she help them, could it be that she loved one of them and wanted to help them. i got it stuck in my head that Marie was a Janus because of the card impostors. Never trust assumptions.

I just Checked an online copy of card 60, can someone please check the date of birth and Death of Hope Cahill? I found out her age when that X-ray that Hope was 39. Is that before or after she died, is Hope really dead? And if so, is her husband with her?


I mean, book three said that "The contest is about Hope." Could that mean that Hope is still alive and that finding the 39 clues could bring someone back from the dead or lead Amy and Dan to her?


Ironically, Hope was 39 when the copper clue was implated in her? There's another thing to think about Kapow512!

I was looking through my cards when I saw the secret code for card 43. It says: Ekats have Amber Room. The Amber Room was a room with 6 tons of amber in it which was looted at the end of WWII and supposedly nobody knows where it is. But according to card 43 Ekats have the amber. And Im thinking amber is a clue.


I tried searching for amber and alchemy but all I came up with is something to do with "amber paint"? Can anyone find a concete link for this or is amber just another false clue?

It's rather funny dr a worldwide group of "assosiats"(would have said freinds but were cahills after all) that all the 400 cards are amy and dan. I wonder why scholastic are centerng in them a much???


Amy and Dan ARE the main characters of this series and a lot is not known about them so a lot of the 400+ cards will be centred on them. Im just waiting for a 400 card about "The Babysitter", Nellie Gomez.

P.S: Sorry, not babysitter, "au pair". Laughing
