NOTES

As hinted at in page 3 notes, this webcomic is in continuity with Il segreto della grande piramide (Martin Mystère Special n.3), a story about how Atlantis and Mu failed to handle radiactive waste and left them for the future generations to deal with.
It's actually the same thing that current society is doing, leaving this undisposable and uncontrollable poison on the shoulders of the future generations (as long as disasters like Fukushima's don't happen again).
The politicians may promise that nuclear plants are safe, and that radioactive waste is being handled safely, but everybody knows this is simply being said for the profit of the upper classes.

In Il segreto della grande piramide, it is revealed how Atlantis and Mu built the Pyramids as millennia-spanning scrapyards for their waste, also providing some hybernated guardians that were tasked with warning the future generations about the danger.

The concept, though, does not work very well: 'our' Pyramids are constantly being explored and probed, and nothing like that has ever come up.
Our webcomic offers an alternate explanation which fits with the continuity of Il segreto delle Piramidi: for now, you get to know that the waste depots are actually located in a pocket dimension, while the Pyramids were actually 'plugs' that controlled the access to that pocket.

Hence our "The Pyramids' Other Secret" title, which is a parody of the title of Martin Mystère Special n.3.

The radiation leak which is mentioned in panel 3 is the same that in Il segreto della grande piramide kills the guardian of the Giza Pyramids.
