    The essence of the message itself is simple: Warning, dangerous materials are buried below.

    The warnings will be heeded about as much as the curses in ancient Egyptian tombs were.

    Still others advised against erecting any warning monuments at all, worrying that the markers themselves⁠— if not properly interpreted⁠— may rouse the curiosity of their discoverers enough that they might explore further, to disastrous ends.

    The best idea, IMO.
