About
Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.
Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.
The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

This place is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours. The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically.
God, I love Sandia National Labs for coming up with such great creepypasta: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_nuclear_waste_warning_messages
If it was not an invaluable historic artifact, it would be fun to send a guy to break it and see what happens (probably nothing though)
What if climate change was caused mostly by this guy cursing the wind...
Reminds me of Valheim.
where is this? doesn't look like any runestone i've ever seen. there should be remnants of a border visible at the bottom.

The Björketorp Runestone in Blekinge, Sweden.
oh its hella old, that's why.
also, the interpretation of the ur-nordic listed on the swedish wiki is basically "if you ruin my rock you are a beta male":
Ärofulla runors rad dolde jag här, mäktiga runor. Rastlös av arghet [d.v.s. perversitet], död genom list skall den bli som bryter detta. Jag spår fördärv.
Ristaren förutspår att minnesmärkets eventuella förstörare ska drabbas av förbannelsen. "Arghet", fornnordiska ergi, betyder 'omanlighet, feghet''.
translated:
"the carver predicts that the one who destroys the stone will be struck the curse of ergi, 'unmanliness', 'cowardice'."
Totally worked though
