Its a modern made puzzle key (using modern technology and math), made to look like it's thousands of years old.I'd say that if the key was reverse engineered from the coffin without knowing it was a puzzle or how the puzzle was made the key would fit in the lock, but then wouldn't work as a puzzle. So no. If the engineers who made it took Xrays of the coffin they'd be able to understand the lock (but not see inside, "gee it's lined with bone meal, I wonder why?") and if they were really smart they might make a working version.Due to the volatile nature of the explosive, breaking the coffin will result in explosions.The key Matt has works either way, since it's the original key.

Hmm, good point.
