Massive black granite sarcophagus found in Alexandria (UPDATE: A trio of gooey mummies)
- Thread starter Chrome Hyena

I was hoping for a rare but all I got was a Tutancommon...
There are procedures to this. First you have to get a bunch of hired workers to open it so they get hit with the curses first. Then you have dartguns filled with mercury at the ready. Sprinkler systems must be retrofitted with bug bombs in case of scarabs. A librarian has to be on staff at all times. Lastly the room needs to have no fewer than 11 cats.
And it goes without saying that there can't be any sand or glass within 400ft of the sarcophagus on opening.
This is actually a problem if humans survive on earth another couple thousand years. People have discussed what sort of language would be universal enough to warn, "The stuff buried here is not valuable, has no historical/archeological value, AND will kill you."
A human skull / bones is pretty common, but I think I read at least some cultures don't associate that with death or poison the same way we might.
I still maintain the idea that the pyramids are much, much older than estimated.
It's amazing how little we know about them.

For anyone interested in this problem there is a documentary about a nuclear waste repository in Finland called Into Eternity. One of the issues they face is how to warn anyone who may stumble upon it the far future, when its purpose has been long forgotten, that it's contents are deadly.

Thinking about it, I think it would be impossible.
Human curiosity is unstoppable.
And the funny thing is, for any of us in modern times, imagine exploring a pyramid and seeing symbolic drawings about people dying, warning symbols, ancient languages about death awaiting whoever enters. Obviously we would dismiss that as superstition, the stuff movies are made of.
Now replace the pyramid contents with nuclear waste.
Man what the hell is going on. We are going to see Pillar men soon and then we are going to find out our souls can manifest spirits and now we can cultivate like a chinese wuxia novel! lol
"Video footage from the news website Youm7 showed a man pouring the red liquid into the street, after samples were taken to be analysed."
This seems really hazardous; but go off I guess.
hello bitches !!!
It's weird seeing that GIF without Iwata and the other videogame execs photoshopped on it
Glad to see Brendan Fraser made first page.
Satisfaction achieved.
I can't listen to this without thinking of Lil Jon remix. I mean it already has off brand lil jon anyway.
This is about a sarcophagus, not a monolith, despite the superficial similarity.
The article said they didn't find any jewelry or items of importance in the sarcophagus with them, so they're probably not nobles or anyone of high rank.
