Well done. This successfully communicates that some things should stay undiscovered.
A forbidden place
Share
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 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.

Gives me SCP or Dune vibes; you did a very good job of invoking a sense of esoteric dread.
Love lightining. Good work. Keep it up.
Having read through that wiki and learning about this stuff for the first time, those descriptions of what "dangerous" land should look like are extremely unsettling. Your interpretation is beautifully haunting and ominous. Nice work

Yeah I found the idea behind it so interesting I had to do this, it's fascinating really.
You know that feeling when you are in a place and you're really happy to be there?...
yeah i'm not feeling that right now
EyeballEarth responds:
Nice that's what I was going for hehe
