SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: The SCP-001 file has been closed and archived. DESCRIPTION: SCP-001 is an extradimensional 'bubble' of self-contained reality, located in the southern Arabian desert, inaccessible to individuals that do not have prior knowledge of SCP-001's location. SCP-001 contains an ancient metropolis partially buried in the sand; maps and initial sonar testing indicate the city is mostly made up of skyscrapers and buildings up to half a kilometer high using modern design techniques far beyond those available at the time of construction, which has been carbon dated to approximately 2,400 BCE. The first evidence of SCP-001 was discovered by Dr. Hedvig Nussbaum during interviews with SCP-1867, who alluded to the existence of a desert metropolis it had explored in the early 19th century. A detachment of MTF Sigma-3 ("Magellan Men") were dispatched, and discovered the city still largely-intact. They made only cursory examinations of the city before extracting and awaiting further instructions from command.
