Item #: SCP-6000

Object Class: Euclid (Keter Class pending, see findings report)

Special Containment Procedures: An exchange agreement with the Greenlandic government has been approved to prevent public access to SCP-6000. All forms of mountaineering within the direct area containing SCP-6000 has been strictly forbidden.

Foundation administrative assets have implemented dendrochronological and geographical data into all recent and historical records of the [REDACTED] mountain range, Greenland. This falsified data supports the notion that SCP-6000 is actually and has always been part of the mountain range. For further details, see Document-HMCL Protocol-███.

Current excavation attempts to determine SCP-6000’s true size are severally restricted by the current technological limitations, as well as the risks involved in digging to such depths. Research into and the development of suitable digging machinery is still ongoing.

Foundation personnel assigned to SCP-6000 are to undergo extensive cognitohazardous resistance training beforehand.

Examination teams are to be sent monthly to inspect SCP-6000’s mass for any changes in physical nature and growth development. Bio-samples are to be taken and stored for testing at Site-6000-Alpha, a small facility stationed ten miles from SCP-6000’s location.

Kant counter readings are to be performed on SCP-6000’s bud section weekly. Results are to be reported in the event that they exceed 800 humes.

Excavation attempts of SCP-6000-2A instances within the adjacent mountains are ongoing. Discovered instances are to be thoroughly examined by archeological teams, and all recovered items are to be stored and moved to Site-6000-Alpha. SCP-6000-2A instances are then to be completely sealed.

Description: SCP-6000 is an unidentified species flower of gargantuan size, resembling a single Lilium plant (lily flower). SCP-6000 grows adjacent to the [REDACTED] mountain range in Greenland. SCP-6000 currently measures 25,000ft in width, and 80,000ft in height. Weekly measurements show that SCP-6000 continues to grow, but has not gained any substantial size increase since its containment. Kant counter readings report an average of >800 Humes within the top portion of SCP-6000. All attempts to pierce the top portion have resulted in failure, and the ambiguity regarding the results from penetrating an object with such a hume level is deemed too much of a risk. The bud has yet to bloom.

Substantial damage to SCP-6000’s mass through mundane and anomalous methods has failed to cause any lasting harm. SCP-6000 is able to regenerate lost matter faster than it can be harmed through current means, made more difficult by its size and durability. Burrowing examinations into the surrounding earth have concluded only a fraction of SCP-6000’s mass is above ground level; a majority of SCP-6000’s stem remains beneath the planet’s lithosphere. Exactly how deep it grows down is unknown.

SCP-6000 is cognitohazardous in nature. Despite its obvious presence, the general populace displays no awareness of SCP-6000. Subjects presented with SCP-6000 directly or through visual media instead perceive a section of the [REDACTED] mountain range. Forms of direct contact with SCP-6000 that would reveal its true nature are rationalized by subjects, resulting from complexities of the mountain range’s shape and structure.

While attempts to enter areas perceived through SCP-6000s anomalous qualities are impossible, subjects will claim to have done so if they interact with SCP-6000 with such intentions. How far subjects believe themselves to have explored the mountain regions are influenced by present weather conditions, the time subjects spend in physical contact with SCP-6000, and their own physical fitness and mountaineering abilities.

Perceived details of the mountain range such as plant life, rock formations, and other phenomena appear to be consistent between subjects. Additionally, subjects on occasion have reported sightings of tall, humanoid silhouettes near the mountain's peaks. In all instances, subjects will describe any surrounding landmarks seen beyond SCP-6000 to appear different from usual. With surrounding mountains and plant life such as trees to have grown to exceptionally large sizes, and severe overgrowth of plant-life.



SCP-6000-2A Recovery Reports


Overview: SCP-6000-2 was supposedly a race of large, omnivorous apes previously inhabiting the mountains directly adjacent to SCP-6000. Archeological findings show that Instances were coated in thick white fur and averaged around 1.5 meters in size; no remains exceeding more than 2m in height have been excavated. Cellular structure examinations have estimated instances to have had a lifespan averaging around sixty to ninety years. Study of fossilized brain tissue reveals that the species may have functioned on a similar level to that of humans, or another similarly related species.

Societal/Cultural Findings: Instances congregated in small, separated communes in numbers no greater than fifty, at altitudes of around five to seven-thousand meters. Remains of written materials prove SCP-6000-2 to have developed their own language (Incorporating some minor similarities with ancient Greenlandic Norse and Archaic Chinese).

Knowledgeable in agriculture. Villages utilized primarily common and minor anomalous means of terraforming interior mountain caves into communal areas in which instances resided (SCP-6000-2A). Remains of small farms containing common and unknown vegetable/fruit matter have been found in most SCP-6000-2A instances.

Religious iconography is a prominent feature within most SCP-6000-2A instances. Recovered items primarily consist of icons carved from wood and stone; and tapestries depicting images of trees, flora, SCP-6000-2, and a planetary body similar to Earth with alternate continents.

Imagery displayed in such items share similar characteristics with several other ancient religious practices relating to Earth worship and religions depicting the world itself as an entity.

While not believed to be significant, the concept of "Eden" is a prominent element in most of these religions. For further information regarding these societies, please see Documents 6000/0.1 and 6000/0.4 for additional details.
