Geocache Description:


After the letter from Tomyris, it is unthinkable that Cyrus the Great would not meet her in battle. Half her army is already defeated by his clever trick of putting a sleeping potion into their wine. Her son is his captive, a slave and a hostage, ready to be executed if she does not respond. The Persian forces are the strongest in the world! Their chariots with knives, their archers, and the magnificent bodyguard of Cyrus himself, the Immortals who had never been defeated. 

This is the last cache in this series. We hope you liked it and will research what happened in the final battle between Cyrus and Tomyris.

This geocache is on the south side of Central Park, near a small railway for children. Look for one of the small trees growing near the rail line, on the fence of the swimming pool area.
