Jump to navigationJump to search

The Great Scavenger Hunt Begins Saturday, May 29, 2010 12:00 AM All of Egypt Ends Friday, June 4, 2010 10:40 PM It is a beautiful weekend for a scavenger hunt. Scattered across the land are 8 special chests. Clues to each chest's location are scattered near town centers throughout Egypt. Find the clues and you are part way to finding the treasure. Of course, what would treasure be if it were not buried, so pull out your Archeologist shovels and start digging.

For the truly observant, a great prize may be had.


1. ADN - FOUND in central HG by Ari_Bastet
In the land that opens the doorway of the Gods, you will find me. When you chase me, I flee but over time I tire. You will find me standing alone deep in the dryest of deserts. I do not have a body of flesh but I provide the source for all life.

2. Heavens Gate - FOUND at 2055, 3436 by someone already

3. Stillwater- FOUND at 183, 4662 by Neith
The land where the great Nile comes to an end holds many creatures great and small. In life, I am a creature as small as your thumb, but here in my place I could consume my home. The scholars of the arts are in their place nearby.

4. Khmun - FOUND in south CCR -70 4676 by Draim_Bastet, although last used by Ast

7. Queens Retreat
In the land of Khmun wars were fought, armies gathered and warred for years. Here you will find find any remaining weapons, but if you look just right you may find a tribute to a war in the land. Find the tip and the treasure at hand.
