Shocking Photo Shows The Most Deadliest Object On Earth That Kills You In Two Days If You Look At It For 300 Seconds

A shocking image reveals what is considered the most dangerous object on Earth, and it's definitely not something you'd ever want to come into contact with.

We've likely all imagined various things when picturing the world's most dangerous object, and many might even guess where it's located.

The object in question is known as the 'Elephant's Foot' and it's extremely hazardous.

As reported by the science magazine Nautilus, just 30 seconds near this object will cause your cells to begin to hemorrhage.

Stay in its presence for four minutes, and you'll start suffering from vomiting, diarrhea, and fever.

If you linger for 300 seconds, you have just two days left to live.

This dangerous object is located in a basement in Pripyat, Ukraine – famously the site of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster nearly forty years ago.

The room where it's found has since been dubbed the 'Elephant's Foot of Chernobyl.'

This is because the radioactive mass that formed under Chernobyl resembles the wrinkled foot of an elephant.

This 'foot' is two meters long and is made up of concrete, sand, and melted nuclear fuel.

Radiation levels have decreased over the years, but the reduction has been slow and steady.

The nuclear fallout was so severe that photographs of the molten mass were only possible a decade later.

At the time the below photo was taken, you could remain with the object for up to an hour before it became fatal.

However, back in 1986, the radiation levels at the 'foot' were measured at 10,000 roentgens per hour.

At this level, anyone standing within three feet of it for 300 seconds would receive a lethal dose of radiation.

The eerie object located in the basement is expected to remain dangerously radioactive for tens of thousands of years.

While many objects at the Chernobyl site are considered dangerous, one of the most hazardous is a claw used to handle the graphite and other materials that were expelled from reactor four during the disaster.

This claw is abandoned deep in the forest and emits about 950uSv of radiation a day, making any contact with it extremely dangerous.

The claw played a crucial role during the aftermath of the disaster, as described by Australian archaeologist Robert Maxwell.

Speaking to news.com.au, he explained: "The three rooftops alongside the exploded reactor four were, at the time, the most lethally dangerous places on earth. 

"One of the rooftops was measuring in the tens of thousands of roentgen, which was the measurement of radioactivity back then.

"When reactor four of Chernobyl exploded, it liberated the lid of the reactor vessel. This 6-10 tonne concrete roof was blown into the air and then landed vertically into the hole.

"All of the control rods, the graphite, the fuel rods and everything else blew out of the reactor and landed on the rooftops nearby.

"So imagine someone trying to stand on a rooftop that was so radioactive that it could give you such acute radiation sickness that you basically cook yourself and die.

"So this Claw was deeply involved in all the intensely radioactive material as it moved the material back into the core.

"To say the Claw is highly radioactive and dangerous is not an exaggeration."
