Geocache Description:

PRESENTS
"MASTER OF THE MOON"

Thoth was the Egyptian God of wisdom, time, writing, magic and the moon. Thoth was responsible for teaching man language, writing, art, music and mathematics. The main temple dedicated to the worship of Thoth was at Heliopolis.
The Book of Thoth is a legendary book containing powerful spells and knowledge. The reader of the scrolls would know the language of the animals, be able to cast great spells, and be able to enchant the sky and the earth. They would also unlock the secrets of the Gods and all that is hidden in the stars.

There is a popular belief that the Sphinx and other Giza monuments are thousands of years older than is currently accepted by orthodox Egyptologists. It has been suggested that The Book of Thoth has been positioned beneath the Sphinx in the legendary Hall of Records for over 12,000 years. Ground penetrating radar and other sophisticated tests have revealed hidden chambers beneath the Sphinx and the surrounding Sphinx enclosure. Egyptian authorities will not allow archeologists to excavate or access these areas. Perhaps the Sphinx is a cover for the world's oldest geocache! That would certainly change history, wouldn't it?

Muggles could present a major problem here. Please use any stealth skills that you have at your disposal. With your cooperation and discretion, maybe we can make this cache last half as long as the Egyptian monuments have been around.

Bushwhacking is not required. Bushwhacking will not be helpful to locate, retrieve or replace this cache. If you are considering bushwhacking, please check your coordinates for accuracy.

Currently this cache is in a DECON container. Happy hunting!

FTF honors are shared by Superhoser for the original location (January 19, 2008) and CDP2004 for the new location (March 20, 2008). Congratulations!
