If radiation wasn't understood, this thing would seriously be the most unbelievable /x/-tier story. It just reads like fucking fiction.
I know it doesn't sound crazy when you understand how it works, but just forget how radiation works for a moment and try read what fucking happened:
>the scientists play around with some magic rock in a lab. the rock got entrapped accidentally so the rock gets angry and causes a flash of blue light. everybody feels a heat wave and sour taste in their mouth. they were fine but all got sick and died several days later.

It's the same kind of spooky with elephant's foot.
>absolutely nobody could approach the elephant foot. everybody who did mysteriously got sick several days later and died. humans were so afraid of it that they built a huge sarcophagus to seal it forever.

And pretty much atomic energy in general
>so humans discover this powerful stone that can blow up a mountain, cause an earthquake, create an permanent 'death zone' where every living thing dies, and destroy every magical device in humanity's possession, so they revamp their entire collective global behavior surrounding the usage of that rock. they discover a way to use this stone to power their magical devices but it produces material that causes death which they


It doesn't sound spectacular when you know how fission causes radiation that damages DNA, but consider when eventually there is a nuclear war and humanity sent back to the stone age and humanity is bound to rediscover what it once had. In the mean time, some neo-stone age fag discovers the "ancient texts" and perhaps stumbles upon a nuclear waste facility and dies confirming those ancient texts. Us, the 'ancient ones', would be considered as literal gods even though today it doesn't seem impressive.
