This HN comment says archive.org never saw that radiation map before yesterday:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30462247

I tried some further searches: Google didn't crawl the subdomain /en/radiation-maps before 2022, nor did the see the string "saveecobot.com/en/radiation-maps" anywhere on the internet.


Their twitter account is 5 years old and has a screenshot showing they launched a radiation map 2020. https://twitter.com/SaveEcoBot/status/1339958096232329216/ph... So it didn't appear recently, maybe it was not popular enough to be indexed or linked to since launch (only 22 Twitter followers).


I see the "gamma-radiation monitoring" on this 2020-timestamped tweet. Good find!


> That site is suspect. The "radiation map" page did not seem to exist before today: https://web.archive.org/web/20220224230609/https://www.savee...

Just because it wasn't in the Archive.org's archive doesn't mean it didn't exist. Many websites are not indexed until someone links to them (shocker), and since no one really cared too much about Chernobyl until yesterday/today, it's not that weird that they (Archive.org) didn't come across the website until today.


The other side is from www.srp.ecocentre.kiev.ua (currently down)
