Geocache Description:

At this step pyramid you are looking for a small lock-and-lock box.

Having first discovered the "Stonehenge of Santa Cruz" near the UCSC campus, we scouted further and found spots resembling other ancient marvels, at least in OUR minds! We hope that you will search for all of the hides we planted here: a multi, a puzzle and some traditionals of varying sizes.

Ziggurats were massive monuments built in the ancient Mesopotamian valley and western Iranian plateau, having the form of a terraced step pyramid of successively receding stories or levels. There are 32 ziggurats known at, and near, Mesopotamia. Twenty-eight of them are in Iraq, and four of them are in Iran. Notable ziggurats include the Great Ziggurat of Ur near Nasiriyah, Iraq; the Ziggurat of Aqar Quf near Baghdad, Iraq; Chogha Zanbil in Khuzestan, Iran; Sialk near Kashan, Iran, the most recent to be discovered; and others.

To access these caches, you can park in the West Remote Parking Lot #127 on weekends and holidays for free or there are meters in Parking Lot #162~~bring your quarters!
We planned this series so that the caches are all within walking distance......we hope that you will enjoy your journey back in time to the Ancient Marvels of Santa Cruz!!
