Geocache Description:

Multicache at the beautiful Dahshur Pyramids site

This scavenger hunt at the Dahshur Pyramids site will help you discover this site which is much more fun to visit than the Giza pyramids where you are pestered by camel peddlers and souvenir sellers. You'll even get to have the Indiana Jones feelings while exploring this place and following the route of this cache! Read about the history of the site on Wikipedia: (visit link)

After finding the entrance please drive on (or direct your taxi) to the first coordinates at:
N 29.47.583
E 031.12.430

When you read the sign here, pls mark the years noted here. Treat the numbers here as a mathematical equation instead of as a pair of years. This will give you the resulting amount needed for the next point.
A = Result of mathematical equation of the years

Then you proceed to the next place at:
N 29.47.[A*3+4]
E 031.12.[A*5-4]

At this place you count the number of pyramids which are within 100 meter distance from where you stand.

B = Number of pyramids

Now you proceed to the next main location at this site at:
N 29.[B*24].[A*5+8]
E 031.[B*6].382

It would be best to drive/ride this distance, though it can be walked as well (hot in the summer).

Here you have to go up the steps and go down into the deep to explore. You'll get a little bit the feeling of Indiana Jones, although it's really too easy of course :-)
However, here lies the key to finding the solution to finding the final location.
How many big chambers can you reach after going down inside?!

C= Number of chambers

Now you'll be able to find the final very special destination at:
N 29.[B*24].[(A*C)+119]
E 031.[B*6].[(A*C)+101]

Pls make sure that noone is around while you retrieve the cache - it should not be too difficult as this site is still a 'hidden jewel' amongst the pyramids sites of Egypt. Pls make sure you leave the cache hidden well just as you will find it.
