Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates, but this is an ideal place to enter the valley of the kings to search for treasure.

1333 BCE, and the New Caching Kingdom has been ruled by Akhenaten, insisting on a monotheistic society worshipping only Magellan.
But no longer. The boy king has ascended the throne, and the new pharaoh permits worship of Magellan and Garmin.
Tutcacheamun was only about 9 years old when he took the reins, but that didn't stop him from doing some pretty typical pharaoh type stuff, like marrying his sister. Given that his ancestors tended to do the same sort of thing, genetically he had a host of problems that may have led to his early death. He probably didn't get a chance to find many caches while ruling the new caching kingdom.

In 1922, an archaeologist, Howard Cacher, made a discovery in the Valley of the Kings. When peering into the tomb he was asked by Lord Cachearvon if he could see anything. All he could utter was:

"Yes, wonderful swag"

Unfortunately shortly afterwards both Howard Cacher and Lord Cachearvon fell victim to the mummy’s curse, and Tutcacheamun’s tomb was once again lost to the sands of time.
Only a small clue remains hinting at the tomb’s location within the Valley of the Kings:



Please ensure the cache remains well hidden. The outer container is a snug fit, but it can be removed easily. Please ensure it is replaced properly.
