Geocache Description:

This is the 1st of a series of the Indiana Jones caches involving a whip, hat, and knowledge!

Indiana Jones has come to the South Island of New Zealand and is looking for hidden treasures here. Since he is a professor of archeology, he heads first to the Canterbury Museum to research the ancient Egyptian artifacts. The co-ordinates above lead you to the museum where you'll need to answer the following questions in order to find the cache.

l Museum Hours are: 9am to 5pm every day except public
l holidays such as: Anzac day, Queens Birthday, Waitangi Day, and
l Christmas. The museums website is:
l www.canterburymuseum.com

D4 Pounds.

(Two of these questions were modified on 5 July 2009 because the mummy exhibit was relocated in the museum and some of the previous information was removed.)
