Geocache Description:


Welcome to the GEO-EYE SERIES!

This series consists of 45 puzzle caches.  We incorporated various difficulty levels.  All the caches that form the PUPIL of the eye (P1 to P6) will be the harder ones.  The IRIS caches (I01 to I16) will be of intermediate difficulty, and the EYE outline (E01 to E23) will be easy ones.
And then to collect the smilies, we recommend high clearance vehicles.  Especially during the rainy season, as the roads can get very muddy.  But then again, that is part of all the fun!
Each puzzle will start with an eye fact, followed by the puzzle.  There might be clues hidden in the eye fact :-)

EYE FACT


The history of spectacles


The earliest reference to glasses dates back to the 5th century BC, where Egyptian hieroglyphics depicted simple glass lenses. In the Western world the first glasses invented are what we know today to be reading glasses. This invention is believed to have taken place between 1268-1289. The main wearers of glasses during this time period were monks and scholars. On a journey to China at a similar time, Marco Polo observed the Chinese wearing glasses. However, the Chinese claim that spectacles were invented in Arabia during the 11th century. Other sources claim that glasses were almost certainly invented in Italy between 1280 and 1300 by a man called Salvino D'Armate.
