I remember reading about this a long time ago at [1]. They had a panel come up with the essential message they want to communicate which I found really interesting and chilling:
> 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 honor…no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here… nothing valued is here.
> What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
> The danger is in a particular location… it increases toward 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.

- periheli0n 5y agoThis sounds like the beginning of an Indiana Jones knockoff! He will dig after reading this, for sure!
