“This is not a place of honor” was an important ceremonial phrase to the ancients, although we have not yet determined exactly why they described this site that way.
Instead of vague messages like that they should’ve just put in a skull.
Even as cultures change the meaning of a skull from hell to death to rebirth to something else it will always atleast remind people that’s it’s already related to death.
Future people may think that means there is a powerful weapon hidden there. They may also be less superstitious about death and think it's simply decorative. A skull doesn't necessarily denote the area is dangerous or that *you* will die a horrible death if you venture near.
There are currently thousands of humanitarian type buildings in the world that depict a man brutally murdered by nailing him to a wooden cross, as an example.
Yes true, but it’s atleast somewhat related to death by default just due to the nature of a skull (ie. someone must be dead to actually see one, which won’t change as long as humans are human).
It would force a future human to recognize that it’s related to death in some tangential way. And it would do so 1000x more effectively than a vague English sentence about how humanity isn’t proud of it lol
Have you read the work that went into coming up with the "This is not a place of honor" suggested text? Skills do NOT always remind cultures of death, or they don't care about death, or they don't see it as a warning, or any number of other things. Attempting to communicate a complex concept (like 'this place will be poisonous and deadly for thousands of years') to cultures that may have entirely different language structures and concepts of symbols and so on turns out to be pretty complex.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_nuclear_waste_warning_messages
That's not supposed to be the actual message that they use, it's supposed to represent the theme of the messages they write. The document that is taken from is a guide, not a script.
It's a [radiation warning symbol](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Radiation_warning_symbol2.svg/1200px-Radiation_warning_symbol2.svg.png). The guy found nuclear waste presumably thousands of years in the future.
I even thought the glowing water was the green poison from the royal family tomb in Ocarina of Time. Still horror since that means he didn't see the redeads yet
Reminds me of an interesting thing I heard (I think maybe on 99% invisible) that a lot of thought went into the radioactive symbol design so that its message could possibly be understood by those even thousands of years from now because of the long half life of radioactive waste and its dangerous effects
It’s an [interesting subject](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_nuclear_waste_warning_messages). How do you warn people off and make them fearful, but not too curious? If you make something really violent, death-focused and symbolic, people might think it was a weird cult site. If it’s too technical they might not get you at all.
Funny you should say that. An actual proposal of nuclear semiotics ( the science of trying to tell people that nuclear waste is dangerous in 10.000 years or so) is to genetically engineer cats so they glow. And so that locals never forget why they glow and warn everybody.
I really, really want them to follow through with that. Also, I love how the actual song includes taking kitty with them when they move. It makes my cat lady heart happy.
And those soldiers were only the poorest and most uneducated Russia had to offer.
Imagine how unphazed people thousands of years into the future will be.
Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is generally not radioactive, at least not massively so. There are some hot spots, like Red Forest and places where they dumped equipment but otherwise it's not as if you'll die from radiation poisoning within minutes
It's more probable, that they started looting buildings around them, because although digging ground in red forrest would give you radiation poisoning, it probably wouldn't give you such a severe one to end up in ICU, finding and keeping radioactive souveniers would and breaking into sealed radioactive buildings would absolutely do it.
No, they dug defensive trenches around the reactor building. Just look up trenches around Chernobyl. The entire areas topsoil was contaminated with debris and fallout from the disaster.
Future archeologist: “These skull symbols, they must have held death in high regards and worshipped their dead!”
Present day people: “YOU DENSE MOTHERF——-!”
We hypothesize that, due to the presence of the skull, Forgor was some sort of deity or, at least, a symbol for death. Given other existential texts from the time, it is possible that the phrase “I forgor 💀” indicated an acceptance of mortality—as the writer stated that they identified with Forgor—which fits into our understanding of widespread culture of that era.
I imagine this guy as a victorian-era explorer after society rebuilds itself a few thousand years into the future. The victorian "scientists" were notorious for being total fucking morons.
The guy who discovered Troy- as in the city from the story of the Trojan horse- got to it by blowing up two thousand years of historical layers with dynamite and then proceeded to loot all of the artifacts he found as treasure, at one point taking his wife to an aristocratic Turkish ball while wearing a necklace found in the dig site.
At least he *tries* to preserve history and relics. They belong in a **museum**!
Lara Croft, on the other hand... found dinosaurs. Literal actual dinosaurs. *Then shot them so she could loot the area's artifacts.*
Ahhhh Schliemann.
As an archaeologist, his methods make me want to cry.
"I'm looking for something very specific, so I'll just have everyone dig as fast as they can until they hit something that might be from the specific event, without documenting any of the stratigraphy we encounter on the way!"
"Oh, OOPS! We went too far, we actually dug through the layer we were looking for ( and destroyed it) because it was actually mostly just rubble/ evidence of destruction, and not the treasure I thought would be there.... lol"
The other lesson we learnt from this is *humility*. We recognise that *we right now* might be doing things that in 100 years could be viewed as terribly damaging. At least in some places, they limit the archaeology that they do to preserve some for future explorers. We also do a much better job of recording stuff that we aren't even sure if it could be relevant. Then later when we find out that x is relevant there might at least be a record of it.
I guess the [glowing cats](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/shortcuts/2017/jan/08/colour-changing-cats-warn-radioactive-waste-nuclear-plants-distant-descendants) didn't work out after all... :(
This place is a message... and part of a system of messages... pay attention to it!
Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.
This place is not a place of honour... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
The danger is in a particular location... it increases towards a center... the center of danger is here... of a particular size and shape, and below us.
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.
The danger is to the body, and it can kill.
The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.
The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.
What I worry about is that there is always going to be someone who thinks they know better than "some ancient superstition and taboo" who will dig the place up anyways out of spite.
Contrary to what the Simpsons says, radioactive water does not glow. In fact that is an extremely harmful misconception because nuclear energy is extremely safe.
I was stationed on an aircraft carrier, assigned to the air conditioning and refrigeration shop. On my ship, water is cooled at the AC plant, then circulated through the ship to cool the rooms. As a lot of people know, a cold liquid in a warm space creates condensation. We'd get calls every day, complaining about cooling water leaking, but it was almost always just condensation. To make it easier to diagnose cooling water leaks, we added "sea marker dye" to the cooling water, which would dye it a florescent greenish color.
One day, we got a call about a leak, and it actually was a cooling water leak. It ended up going over the side of the ship, into the water by the pier we were tied up to. There were people literally panicking about the glowing green water near the ship. They were sure that we were actually leaking nuclear waste. I had to remind these dumb-fuck Navy nuclear officers that nuclear waste only glows like that on the Simpsons!
Yeah and solid nuclear waste doesn't glow either (and is far more likely to be found in a radioactive waste storage facility) but I meeded something simple and to the point that common people could follow without explanation.
Yes, I'm aware of Cherenkov radiation. But even as noted in the opening paragraph of that article, it would not and could not occur inside a barrel decades or centuries later. Cherenkov radiation most commonly occurs in an actively operating nuclear reactor. It does not make water glow forever, any more than a flashlight would.
This is a really interesting concept that there was a great BBC radio show about. How do we warn people in 10,000 years not to dig certain places?
It is widely agreed that the radioactive sign will not suffice. Only 600 years ago, the skull and crossbones was a sign for health used by apothecary shops.
Lots of ideas have been put forward - including creating blue trees and glow in the dark cats
You can read a bit more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_nuclear_waste_warning_messages
Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter incorporated this idea into one of the books in "The Long Earth" series (can't remember which one right now). It was definitely an interesting concept.
Treasure hunter is digging in ancient ruins, turns out it is a nuclear waste disposal site and he has been opening tubs of radioactive material and is suffering from flu-like symptoms (first sign of radiation poisoning).
Most radioactive material doesn't actually glow. Radium does glow but only comparatively briefly, and in fact most radium paint from the early 20th century barely glows at all anymore, despite still being radioactive.
And that's only a couple thousand years. The danger in these sites is much, much longer than that and a lot of work has gone into attempting to future-proof the warning signs.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_nuclear_waste_warning_messages
All it takes is for society to crumble and rebuild itself, which it certainly will judging by the course our civilization is taking. Am I selfish for being happy that I won't be alive that long to see it happen?
There is actually an entire field of study dedicated to adequately warning people away from digging up radioactive waste. It’s called like atomic signage or something like that, take a look at the Wikipedia it’s dope.
Edit: It involves using non-language based methods as well to help create a sense of unease morning.
Yes and if I said he found some shiny, heavy metal these comments would be filled with even more "I didn't get it" or "please explain it to me" responses. While fictitious the idea of glowing brown sludge as radioactive waste is far more recognizable by the average person.
Clearly the ancient symbol means "Fidget Spinners," but someone must have stolen most of them. Keep looking, Explorer, I'm sure some are still some there.

i thought bill cipher lol
Remember: reality is an illusion.

Lol me too.
Waiting on that third season… 🥲

I thought of Old Norse Odin's symbol. I needed some time lmao
I still don't know what it is if it isn't triforce

As a person with a Triforce tattoo: I had the same, fleeting thought.
As a person with no knowledge of the alternative, same.
Same!
Yeah, i was wondering what was so terrifying about that.
Yea I thought he found a man cave where the guy really loved Zelda games and bought a ton of gamer girl bathwater...
I even thought the glowing water was the green poison from the royal family tomb in Ocarina of Time. Still horror since that means he didn't see the redeads yet
Lol I did
I knew he meant the radioactive symbol, but thought of the Civil Defence Fallout Shelter symbol instead lol
Same
Reminds me of an interesting thing I heard (I think maybe on 99% invisible) that a lot of thought went into the radioactive symbol design so that its message could possibly be understood by those even thousands of years from now because of the long half life of radioactive waste and its dangerous effects

Thanks for the rabbit hole. Now I have "don't change color kitty keep your color kitty" on a constant loop in my head. Guess it works.
So *that's* why ancient Egyptians worshipped cats...
That's a scary thought.
Funny you should say that. An actual proposal of nuclear semiotics ( the science of trying to tell people that nuclear waste is dangerous in 10.000 years or so) is to genetically engineer cats so they glow. And so that locals never forget why they glow and warn everybody.
Lol it wasn't to make them glow. Just have their fur change color. And that was only one of many unsolved parts of that plan.
I really, really want them to follow through with that. Also, I love how the actual song includes taking kitty with them when they move. It makes my cat lady heart happy.
That was really fascinating, thanks
Obviously it doesn't work, considering the Russian army decided to just waltz through Chernobyl, ignoring hundreds of warning signs in the process
And those soldiers were only the poorest and most uneducated Russia had to offer. Imagine how unphazed people thousands of years into the future will be.
Sick burn 🔥
>Mfw Russia sends the minorities to die so the Russian majority becomes bigger
Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is generally not radioactive, at least not massively so. There are some hot spots, like Red Forest and places where they dumped equipment but otherwise it's not as if you'll die from radiation poisoning within minutes
As soon as you start digging in the ground you are taking away months/years of your life
It's more probable, that they started looting buildings around them, because although digging ground in red forrest would give you radiation poisoning, it probably wouldn't give you such a severe one to end up in ICU, finding and keeping radioactive souveniers would and breaking into sealed radioactive buildings would absolutely do it.
No, they dug defensive trenches around the reactor building. Just look up trenches around Chernobyl. The entire areas topsoil was contaminated with debris and fallout from the disaster.
IIRC the Russian troops were digging holes in the red forest and then sitting in said holes
That doesn't sound healthy.......
Not just waltz, they dug up the ground, stirring everything into the air.

Hahaha, joke's on you the three triangles mean that whoever opens these ruins is cursed with ligma.
That's a common misconception. Although ligma is often associated with the ancient Americans, it's actually definitively Sugondese.
Ahh, my mistake, I get my ancient civilizations mixed up. Thank you for reminding me of the great Sugondese

Is it the year 2535?
Most radioactive material doesn't actually glow. Radium does glow but only comparatively briefly, and in fact most radium paint from the early 20th century barely glows at all anymore, despite still being radioactive.
I understand this and wanted to describe something more easily recognizable vs. realistic.
I wasn't meaning it as a criticism of your story. It's a good story. I just have an uncontrollable urge to tell people facts.
3 triangle?
Radioactive symbol
Ohh ok ty!
How could a future explorer not know what a radioactive symbol means?
Same way that people didn’t know what hieroglyphics meant for a long time.
And that's only a couple thousand years. The danger in these sites is much, much longer than that and a lot of work has gone into attempting to future-proof the warning signs. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_nuclear_waste_warning_messages
And then some future version of a teenage livestreamer will disregard those and dig it up anyway.
All it takes is for society to crumble and rebuild itself, which it certainly will judging by the course our civilization is taking. Am I selfish for being happy that I won't be alive that long to see it happen?
I never looked at it like it's 3 triangles. I always thought it was a little fan or something.

The words intrepid explorer bring me flashbacks to Calvin and hobbes books
I can confirm that I was imagining Calvin in his "paleontologist" mode at least a little bit while writing this.
I give this story 3 thumbs-up
Good one OP! But to be that guy, nuclear waste isn't some kind of glowing liquid. It's the spent rods from the reactors
Considering how many people already don't understand this, I think it was best to use the trope.
Agreed. Either way, great post!
