Most dangerous object on Earth that kills you in two days if you look at it for 300 seconds

Most people try and avoid death as a general rule but simply staring at this one object will kill you in a few days.

You would be forgiven for thinking this is some haunted or possessed paranormal item that causes death from simply staring at it.

Unfortunately, this is very real and completely rooted in reality.

So might be worth not staring directly at this peculiar object. In fact, it is probably safer to be as far away from it as you can be.

What is the most dangerous object called? The Elephant’s Foot and it is not to be messed with.

According to science magazine Nautilus, 30 seconds of exposure to the object will mean your cells will begin to hemorrhage.

Stick around for four minutes and you can expect vomiting, diarrhea and fever.

If you spend 300 seconds with the object, you have two days to live.

The object is found in a basement in Pripyat, Ukraine – the home of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster that took place nearly four decades ago.

The room has since been referred to as the 'Elephant’s Foot of Chernobyl', as the radioactive mass that gathered underneath Chernobyl gave off the facade of the wrinkled foot of an elephant.

Standing at a whopping two metres in length, the 'foot' inside of Unit 4 is comprised of concrete, sand and melted nuclear fuel.

Of course, radiation levels have died down over the years, but very much steadily and slowly.

The nuclear fallout was so potent that photos of the molten mass could only be snapped a decade later.

When the below photo was taken, you could spend up to an hour with the object before guaranteeing yourself an early grave.

But back in 1986, radiation levels on the 'foot' were measured at 10,000 roentgens per hour – enough to deliver a fatal dose of radiation to anyone standing within three feet of it for 300 seconds.

The scary object found in the basement is reported to remain dangerously radioactive for tens of thousands of years.

While a lot of objects are deemed as dangerous on the Chernobyl site, a claw used to pick up the graphite and material that exploded out of reactor four back in the day is certainly up there.

Abandoned deep in the forest, it's estimated to produce around 950uSv of radiation a day, and any contact is extremely dangerous.
