Current Goal

Please keep this geocoin moving! Khepri will smile on those who help this traveler, but will not be pleased with those who forestall it or try to steal it :-o Remember what happened to poor Benny in "The Mummy"; you wouldn't want that to happen to you!! Discoveries are always acceptable to scarabs :-)

About This Item

The coin

A very colorful design with a strong ancient Egyptian theme. The scarab beetle was venerated by the ancients, and was an early sun diety, called Khepri or Khepera. He was eventually partially supplanted by Ra, but retained significance as the dawning sun. During the New Kingdom of the Ramses Pharoahs (19th and 20th Dynasties, primarily), Khepera was a symbol of rebirth after Earthly death. During the reign of Akhnaten, Ra was promoted as the only god, but the aspects of Khepera, and of Atum or Atun (the setting sun) were retained, in an interesting "foreshadowing" of the trinitarian nature of the Christian God.

Well, we might have been able to do something about this had we jumped on it right away, but after three years, there's no way to tell where this might be. After it was dropped off, only two people in the next year even mentions taking any travelers, and one of them posted the TB #, so we know it wasn't this. Not much to do but retrieve this for burial in an archived cache of ours, and hope that it turns up, some day. And here's the semi-obligatory "rant" for situations like this...

WE HOPE THAT SOMEONE IS JUST BEING VERY SLOW TO LOG THIS, OR THAT THEY FORGOT ABOUT IT, OR MAYBE DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT IT REALLY WAS; IF THIS IS THE CASE, PLEASE RETRIEVE IT, AND THEN DROP IT INTO ANOTHER CACHE AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. THANK YOU!

HOWEVER...

IF YOU TOOK THIS GEOCOIN WITH NO INTENTION OF MOVING IT ALONG, YOU ARE A THIEF!! WE OWN THIS GEOCOIN; WE SENT IT OUT INTO THE WORLD FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO ENJOY AND TO MOVE ALONG. YOU CANNOT SELL IT OR ADOPT IT; YOU CAN'T EVEN SHOW IT TO OTHERS WITHOUT RISKING THEM FINDING OUT THAT YOU ARE A PETTY CRIMINAL. WE HOPE THAT YOU GET A CONSCIENCE AND DROP THIS INTO A CACHE SOON.

IF YOU SEE THIS GEOCOIN IN THE COLLECTION OF A CACHER OTHER THAN US, BE AWARE THAT IT IS STOLEN PROPERTY.
