I don't think this is true.
Besides that, it is not on topic here.

Thats wrong. Read something about supernovae.
And it was already on earth before a human or anything found their way to live.

Gro' Bul I'm not a chemist, I can't remeber what it was, so I just typed the first radioactive element that came to my head, which happened to be plutonium, it's more likley to have been Uranium ore.

Martin I was replying to Hades.

I looked for it.
And I didn't find anything. And during my whole studies I never heared anything about that. And in all the books I've read, I didn't read anything about that.
So I guess that it's wrong.

Please provide a source for your claims.

Perhaps it may only be harnessed through man made machines rather? Is it only found in such small amounts perhaps? I know uranium can be found naturally but only in small trace amounts.

Damn, what is this?

We were talking about pharaoes running around with uran or plutonium, not about radioactivity in general.

Are you kidding?

A quick look for "egypt" and "radioactive" at Google brought me an article abut radon concentrations in the air of newly opened tombs, resulting from natural uranium depositions in the stone, and another one which said "some scientists assume" that pharaos used radioactive substances in their tombs on purpose.

But, well, a lot of scientists assume a lot of things, and in fact, I would rather be surprised not to find any theories about radioactive materials, bio- engineered organisms, alien curse generators, ..., among those.

Well, I said plutonium was not found naturally, sir giandor was pointing out my mistake. I'm guessing its not found naturally in a significant quantity.

I suggest you get back to the original topic of this Post, Lanterns, before martin locks it.

I just want to help Gro´bul to improve his Mistake.
I never said anything about Pharaos. Cause it´s sounds a little bit crazy for me and this is the Graphic Board.

If all else fails, get some cut topaz and use the rune of light on it to let it magically last for a bit.

Yes, this is a lazy and uncreative mans way out, but I find it humorous.
