Pin Lock - Unlock the Wisdom of the Pharaohs

Product detailed description

Wooden puzzle lock shaped like an ancient Egyptian padlock with a pin-tumbler mechanism. Using the included key, slide the colorful wooden blocks inside the clear acrylic case to release the shackle.

The puzzle is based on a real historical invention - the ancient Egyptians were among the first to develop the pin tumbler lock: a wooden bolt with movable pins that dropped into matching holes in the door frame. The lock could only be opened with a specially shaped key that lifted the pins, allowing the bolt to slide. This early security innovation laid the foundation for the locks we still use today.

Part of a puzzle series inspired by ancient civilizations (Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Norse, Aztec, Chinese).
