Geocache Description:



Dr. Jones gazed at the many corpses scattered about the tomb floor of the antechamber. He saw that he wasn't the first man to try and recover the famed gold bust crafted in the likeness of the great pharaoh of Egypt, Ramses II. From one of the skeletal hands, he wriggled free a set of four keys, each key made of a different material - one of gold, the others of silver, bronze and lead. The antechamber has a single door on each of its four sides. Each door has four locks, each made up of the four same key materials. Above each door is an image of a different Egyptian god - one of Horus, the others of Osiris, Isis and Anubis. Looking down again at the numerous, dead grave robbers that preceded him, Indy realized that putting the wrong key into the wrong lock or the wrong door could prove deadly. Shining his light towards the ceiling, he could make out a series of Egyptian hieroglyphs that, when translated, said:

'The gold and silver lock on the door of Horus will bring swift death to any who try and unlock it'
'Take the silver key to the door of Isis, but be wary of the silver lock'

'The gold key shall stay for away from the doors of Osiris and Horus'

'The lead key will not fit the lock to the door of Horus'

'Death will come fast and sure to anyone who tampers with the silver or gold lock on the door of Anubis'



Can you figure out which key should be placed in which lock in which door? Hint: Each key will only fit one lock in the entire room. Therefore, there are 16 locks total, on four separate doors, with four separate keys to choose from.
