Just a small thought here. Does anyone see two meanings to the way this is described as being buried in the west? Sometimes when a project is
"buried", that means that it is no longer publicly acknowledged. We have no way of knowing that the dirt we see in the photo is in any way connected
with digging a hole.
Also, the original photo from the book reminds me of other photos I've seen from the old USSR in the days of the cold war. As if this might have been
something the Soviets were working on, and that the west wanted to explore itself. This would also give a greater chance for the writing not to be in
English, as many of the workers would be likely to speak a Mideastern language.
Just speculation, as this is a small mystery we would all like to see cleared up some.
