Geocache Description:

New evidence suggests that ancient Egyptians were geocachers, and hid a sarcophagus in a rural Minnesotan town.


An ancient Egyptian site which was recently uncovered, indicates that the modern sport known as "geocaching" was actually invented much earlier in history than previously thought possible.
The ancient site contained a wealth of historic artifacts, and a few mysterious findings. The site included an ancient device of unknown origin, yellow in color, with what appears to be the word "etrex" engraved on it. Among various trinkets and knick-knacks, archaeologists also found a set of coordinates, and hieroglyphs which, when translated, reveal a story of a hidden sarcophagus in a small Minnesota town, and an open invitation for anyone and everyone to search for this hidden treasure.

According to the hieroglyphs, the medium-sized sarcophagus was hidden near the foot of a large pyramid. Of course, the idea of a pyramid in this geographical location is preposterous, and experts believe that if such a structure once stood, it wouldn't be possible for more than a few feet worth of straggling stones to still be present. It is advised, however, that if such a treasure were found, care should be taken to re-hide it in a manner that passers-by would not accidentally stumble upon it.

The paintings which were uncovered, reveal unbelievable scenes of ancient Egyptians using small, hand-held devices to uncover hidden objects. One of the paintings even seems to suggest that the Egyptians' appearance as they walked, focused on these devices in their outstretched hands, may have been the contributing factor to the popular conception of what we now, in modern times, refer to as "walking like an egyptian".
