Geocache Description:

The goal of this series is to find the lost Ancient Egyptian treasure! This treasure may be found in the Geocache Tombs of famous Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh's. However PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THE “TREASURE” that is housing the log. But do swap items and trackables as usual! The location of these Geocache Tombs can be found from Ancient Egyptian Gods.

This series comprises 8 small/regular caches all located in or around the Sutton Coldfield area. The first four caches in the series (named after Ancient Egyptian Gods) each contain co-ordinates and clues for one of the final four caches.

On the map the false co-ordinates given for the final four caches show a route which could be taken for one of the final four. It should be noted that the series is designed so that you do not know which of the bonus caches you will find. Will you find the TREASURE or will the BOOBY TRAPS get you first? All the caches are located close to free parking.

This is an ideal series for anybody who is interested by the mystery of Ancient Egypt and will hopefully gain a lot of knowledge and fun from this unique set of hidden packages. Even if you find the treasure there are many other surprises awaiting in other caches, so be sure to find them all!

Have fun unravelling the mysteries of Ancient Egypt!

This cache is located in Candleford Green. To the Ancient Egyptians, Osiris was God of Death and the Underworld. It was believed that when a Pharaoh died he would be judged by Osiris. As part of this judgement if the Pharaoh’s heart was lighter than a feather, he would be allowed to pass through into the afterlife. Osiris was pictured in hieroglyphics as a green-skinned man with a Pharaoh’s beard.
