    Over ten thousand years, erosion or earthquakes can expose the entrance, contaminating the site. People could dig a well or prospect for minerals. The suggestion of underground activity could suggest to them that it is a good place to mine, or even that there’s a tomb or other interesting artifacts

      If enough erosion or earthquakes occured to expose the entrance, I don’t think a sign would fare too well.

      Eh, that is is putting way more importance on coincidences than is actually warranted. But lets not loose sight of the general idea.

      We need to deal with this waste, on that we are all agreed, we have limited resources to do so.

      This means that we need to prioritize the actual waste containment rather than building some weird scarecrow to scare people away who may not even use the same concepts let alone language as we do.

      It is ridiculous.

        For me, it shows a compassion for the people of the future, which is inspiring in a way. Similar to the Voyager golden records, which are unlikely to ever be found by anyone, it is partially an exercise in understanding ourselves.

          I’d rather they showed compassion by not wasting resources and built the proper waste disposal sites so that we can increase nuclear power use and shutdown coal/oil/gas.

          Global warming is a way bigger threat than at worst a few localized hazards.

          Any money diverted from waste disposal to this idea is wasted.
