Dude, when humans die, they decompose, leaving behind a skull and bones.
Yep. And what happens with those remains? They get buried, often with valuables - treasure! This must be a grave, let’s dig it up!
Whoops, your “universal sign of danger” just attracts people.
It’s highly arrogant and insulting for you to think any other culture wouldn’t be capable of drawing that connection.
Oh, how lucky are we to have you in our midst, who - without any research or evidence - just happened to know much better than people who have researched this.
Your arrogance is showing. It’s embarrassing for you that you don’t see it.
“i’Ve ReSeArChEd ThIs, trust me bro” oh yeah, and I suppose that means you’ve encountered a culture that doesn’t understand the meaning of the skull and crossbones, since you’re sooo confident they would think it means treasure?
By the way, pirates didn’t mark their treasure with the symbol; that would be stupid. They displayed it on their ships to instill fear in their victims before boarding.

I don’t think it’s possible for me to communicate with you. You’re literally too dense to understand that other people don’t have the same cultural background and could interpret symbols differently.
And you’re too dense to understand that literally every human being who’s ever lived or ever will is capable of drawing the inherent connection between the skull and crossbones and death, due to the inherent relationship between them.
Literally Carl Sagan even proposed using the symbol. Is he too dense to understand too?
There are literally millions of graves without elaborate symbols or ornamentation, but with valuables. What the fuck?
And we’re talking about signs created by a previous, far more advanced civilization which are made from materials and colors the people we talk about could have never imagined. HOW MUCH MORE ELABORATE AND ORNATE CAN YOU GET?!
You’re imagining a future civilization will be so devolved that they would have less colors than we do? You’re not even approaching this from a standpoint of reality, so I’m done here.
Yes, there are indeed many objects in our daily lives with colors that stone-age people would have never seen in their whole lives. I can’t even comprehend how this could be a difficult concept for you.

I haven’t researched this, scientists have.

YES, WHICH IS CONNECTED TO GRAVES, AND THUS VALUABLES
Which part of this sentence is too complex for you?
Not every grave contains valuables, and ones that do would be marked with more elaborate symbols and ornamentation.
Nobody’s tombstone has a skull and crossbones on it, your argument is completely detached from reality
