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 Shu
Shu was one of the primordial gods in Egyptian mythology, a personification of air, one of the Ennead of Heliopolis. He was created by Atum, his father and Iusaaset, his mother in the city of Heliopolis. With his twin sister Tefnut (moisture), he was the father of Nut and Geb. His daughter, Nut, was the sky goddess whom he held over the Earth (Geb), separating the two. The Egyptians believed that if Shu didn't hold his son and daughter (the god of the earth and the goddess of the sky) apart there would be no way life could be created.
As the air, Shu was considered to be cooling, and thus a calming influence and pacifier. Due to the association with air, calm, and thus Ma'at (truth, justice and order), Shu was portrayed in art as wearing an ostrich feather. Shu was seen with between one and four feathers. The ostrich feather was symbolic of light and emptiness. Fog and clouds were also Shu's elements and they were often called his bones. Because of his position between the sky and earth, he was also known as the wind.
In a much later myth, representing the terrible weather disaster at the end of the Old Kingdom, it was said that Tefnut and Shu once argued, and Tefnut left Egypt for Nubia (which was always more temperate). It was said that Shu quickly decided that he missed her, but she changed into a cat that destroyed any man or god that approached. Thoth, disguised, eventually succeeded in convincing her to return.
The Greeks associated Shu with Atlas, the primordial Titan who held up the celestial spheres, as they are both depicted holding the sky.
The air god Shu separated the sky goddess (Nut) from the earth god (Geb). This treatment symbolized duality, the separation of the world into opposites: above and below, light and dark, good and evil. Shu is mostly represented by a man. Only in his function as a fighter and defender as the sun god does he sometimes receive a lion's head. In Egyptian mythology, Shu arrived as breath from the nose of the original god, Atum-Ra, together with his sister and wife, Tefnut, the moist air. The first pair of cosmic elements then created the sky goddess, Nut, and the earth god, Geb, who in turn created the deities Isis, Osiris, Nephthys and Set.
