About the Caches of the Gods
There are sixteen caches of the gods. Each cache contains a key to unlocking the special Pyramid Cryptex device which holds the secret location of the Pharaoh's Treasure (GC5JTAJ).
Twelve of the gods have true keys to the device, while four of the gods have false keys to mislead the careless adventurer. Each key can be found in the form of a symbol on the inside of the lid of the cache container.
The true keys must be discovered by visiting the god's caches and recording the key's image. once all twelve keys have been found you must determine their correct order and dial them into the levels of the Pyramid Cryptex.
If you successfully open the device, you will receive the final location of the Pharaoh's Treasure. If you are the first to open the device, your reward will be great indeed!
While not required, it is suggested that a digital camera to snap a shot of the keys for reference while solving the puzzle might be a good idea. Please do not share pictures of the keys with any other adventurers.
About Hathor
Hathor is an Ancient Egyptian goddess who personified the principles of joy, feminine love, and motherhood.
She was one of the most important and popular deities throughout the history of Ancient Egypt. Hathor was worshiped by Royalty and common people alike in whose tombs she is depicted as "Mistress of the West" welcoming the dead into the next life. In other roles she was a goddess of music, dance, foreign lands and fertility who helped women in childbirth, as well as the patron goddess of miners.
The cult of Hathor predates the historic period, and the roots of devotion to her are therefore difficult to trace, though it may be a development of predynastic cults which venerated fertility, and nature in general, represented by cows.
Hathor is commonly depicted as a cow goddess with horns in which is set a sun disk with Uraeus. Twin feathers are also sometimes shown in later periods as well as a menat necklace. Hathor may be the cow goddess who is depicted from an early date on the Narmer Palette and on a stone urn dating from the 1st dynasty that suggests a role as sky-goddess and a relationship to Horus who, as a sun god, is "housed" in her.
The Ancient Egyptians viewed reality as multi-layered in which deities who merge for various reasons, while retaining divergent attributes and myths, were not seen as contradictory but complementary. In a complicated relationship Hathor is at times the mother, daughter and wife of Ra and, like Isis, is at times described as the mother of Horus, and associated with Bast.
The cult of Osiris promised eternal life to those deemed morally worthy. Originally the justified dead, male or female, became an Osiris but by early Roman times females became identified with Hathor and men with Osiris.
The Ancient Greeks identified Hathor with the goddess Aphrodite, while in Roman mythology she corresponds to Venus.
