the problem there is the likelihood of someone sending people in to gather the dirt from the evil cursed site to throw it at their enemies or something.

it really is a challenge -- to accurate get a message across thousands of years later to some other culture after our culture is gone. as far as we know, nobody's actually done this before.

also, some of the "this structure is unwelcoming" designs look like actual sculpture i've seen, so i don't think it'll work as well as people are hoping.

the "if you have trouble reading this, translate the message and carry it on and rewrite it here" part is good, tho.
