**Special Containment Procedure:** Due to the nature of the anomaly, traditional containment is currently impossible. The current containment protocols are only aimed at keeping public awareness of SCP-6517 outside the scope of the paranormal world. SCP-6517 will be monitored by Foundation-filed agents embedded in the French police and tourist guides. Any abnormal behaviors shown by SCP-6517 must be reported to the project research head immediately.

In the event that an SCP-6517-B instance appears in an urban area, field agents will be deployed to control and assess the situation. The Foundation's Department of External Affairs will work with the local government in the area where the SCP-6517-B instance has appeared to cover up the event with an appropriate story. This cover story will involve tourism purposes, allowing civilians to approach it as much as the circumstances permit.

 Foundation web crawlers are to scan and remove any mentions regarding knowledge about SCP-6517 or its anomalous properties from the internet.

**Update:** Foundation agents are prohibited from engaging in aggressive or hostile actions against SCP-6517 or any of its instances to avoid provoking a hostile reaction from SCP-6517.

**Description:** SCP-6517 refers to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. --It is unknown when or how the Eiffel Tower acquired its anomalous properties. The examination of the tower's original blueprints and construction records did not reveal the use of any anomalous materials or occult engineering in the structure.-- The analysis of samples taken from SCP-6517 revealed that the entire structure is composed of organic material of unknown origin, resembling metal in both appearance and composition.[[footnote]]Similar to what we can see with [[[SCP-217]]] instances.[[/footnote]] The analysis also showed a match with the DNA profile of **[REDACTED]**, though the tests were inconclusive.

SCP-6517 possesses a network of metallic roots that extend underground through the tower's four bases and continue to grow and expand in a manner similar to non-anomalous tree roots. The total length of these roots is unknown, but laser imaging has shown that they may extend at least 4 km deep underground and horizontally span more than 80,000 km.[[footnote]]It is unknown where SCP-6517 gets the required materials for its expansion. It is currently hypothesized that SCP-6517 absorbs materials from its surroundings like a plant.[[/footnote]] Often, these roots will begin to resurface and breach the earth in or near urban areas around the world, and will then start to grow in size and intertwine with each other. When this occurs, an instance of SCP-6517-B will be created. 

SCP-6517-B are near-identical replicas of the Eiffel Tower. These replicas exhibit some deviations from the original tower, including but not limited to differences in size and height, decorative details, and can in shape range from a simplified version of SCP-6517 to an exact one-to-one replica. It was later discovered that SCP-6517-B instances emit a memetic effect that causes human viewers to ignore the abnormal and sudden appearance of the tower, leading them to believe that the tower has always existed in its current location.[[footnote]]This effect will be neutralized if the observer is already aware of the SCP-6517 anomalous characteristics.[[/footnote]]

[[include component:image-block name=https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/local--files/scp-6517/Las%20Vigas|caption=SCP-6517-B-05 instance in Las Vegas.|width=60px]]

Due to a notable increase in the frequency of SCP-6517-B instances creation since the 1980s, to the present day. Project researchers speculate on the potential of an EFK-class end-of-world scenario. According to this theory, SCP-6517-B instances will proliferate rapidly in urban areas worldwide, concentrating in dense clusters. As a result, the growth of these structures will displace surrounding human infrastructure, eventually rendering civilian life within cities and urban zones impossible.

**Document-6517-06-023:** The following documents have been collected from Maurice Koechlin's memoirs, which are believed to be responsible for creating the Eiffel Tower's original blueprint.

[[div class="page"]]
07 May, 1884
@@@@
[[include component:image-block name=https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/local--files/scp-6517/blueprint|caption=Original Eiffel Tower blueprint that was found with journal. Drawn by Maurice Koechlin.|width=70px]]
At last, after a protracted evening filled with much planning, erasure, and redrawing, I find myself in possession of the completed blueprint for the tower which Émile and I had so fervently discussed. Though the act of drafting the illustration itself proved manageable, it was the endeavor to distill our vision—so vast in scope—into a coherent and simplified design upon paper that proved most taxing. Since the announcement of the Exposition Universelle's grand design competition, [[footnote]]1889 Paris Exposition was a world's fair held from 6 May to 31 October 1889.[[/footnote]] Émile and I have devoted many days to careful deliberation, determining precisely what concept we might submit for Monsieur Eiffel’s consideration. At length, our thoughts have coalesced, and we are resolved to pursue this model: a majestic pylon composed of four latticework girders, set apart broadly at their base and gracefully converging at their summit, all bound at intervals by stout metal trusses.
@@@@
@@@@
Despite the confidence Émile and I share in the merits of our design, persuading Monsieur Eiffel presents an entirely different challenge. His firm stands among the most esteemed in the realm of architecture and engineering, with numerous triumphs of structural ingenuity bearing his name, both within France and abroad. As such, it would not astonish me in the least were Monsieur Eiffel to receive our preliminary concept with measured caution about the initial concept.
[[/div]]

[[div class="page"]]
09 May, 1884
@@@@
We have already presented our design for the tower to Monsieur Eiffel, and I must confess, I was quite unprepared for the genuine enthusiasm with which he received our initial proposal. This bodes well, indeed. Nevertheless, he was not wholly content with the draft I provided; he expressed a desire for greater ornamental refinement and suggested several enhancements before granting his full approval. Perhaps, with a bit of reflection and further discussion with Émile, I may devise some embellishments that shall meet with his expectations.
@@@@
18 May, 1884
@@@@
Several days passed, and Émile made an introduction to a gentleman by the name of Monsieur Jean Barsan. He informed me that Monsieur Barsan is an old acquaintance of his, a man of artistic inclination in the architectural realm, and one whom he believes may offer valuable suggestions for the tower’s external embellishments. While I am by no means opposed to the notion of another architect lending his artistic vision to our endeavor, I must admit that there is something in Monsieur Barsan’s manner that unsettles me. His smile alone imparts a peculiar unease, though I can scarcely say why. I would not wish to appear discourteous in the presence of Émile’s friend, and yet I cannot entirely dismiss this inexplicable disquiet. He seems, on the whole, a most agreeable fellow—no doubt it is merely my nerves, frayed as they are by the weight of our undertaking.
@@@@
@@@@
It has succeeded! Monsieur Barsan contributed a series of decorative arches to the base, a graceful glass pavilion upon the first level, and crowned the entire structure with an elegant cupola. Evidently, these enhancements sufficed to satisfy Monsieur Eiffel, for he has at last granted his approval. The patent has been secured, and all proceeds apace with remarkable smoothness. In retrospect, it would seem my earlier misgivings were nothing more than the result of an overtaxed mind—anxieties born, no doubt, from the magnitude of the tower itself.
[[/div]]

[[div class="page"]]
15 February, 1888
@@@@
This is, without question, a most grievous day for the realm of modern architecture. Today, we received the somber news that Monsieur Eiffel, in the aftermath of the trial concerning the Panama affair, has tendered his resignation as head of the company. Moreover, he has declared his intention to sever all association with the institutions that bear his distinguished name. In the same hour, I was notified by telegram of my appointment as Director of Management. If nothing else, I shall endeavor to see that the tower is brought to completion in accordance with our original vision.
@@@@
Later this evening, as I encountered Monsieur Barsan at the construction site, he remarked, “It is indeed unfortunate to lose a colleague of Gustave’s experience and creative prowess, but one cannot continue flogging a dead horse. After all, the French Empire was not forged without the sacrifice of valiant souls, all in the service of spreading our noble ideals.” While I do not question Jean’s fervent commitment to our enterprise, I confess that his ardent patriotism, admirable though it may be, appears at times to cloud his judgment. I struggle to perceive how Monsieur Eiffel’s resignation might be construed as a boon to our cause; on the contrary, it serves only to heighten the difficulty of the task that lies ahead.

31 March, 1889
@@@@
The long-awaited day has at last arrived. I pen these words as I stand before the tower—our tower—after years of tireless labor, aspiration, and anticipation. The Exposition of 1889 now bears witness to what I believe to be the crowning achievement of French architecture. This colossal structure, rising to a height of 300 meters, now dominates the very heart of the capital, just as I once dared to imagine. I pay no mind to the discontented murmurings of those envious detractors whose designs fell by the wayside; criticism, after all, is a far easier pursuit than creation. “I’m glad the view of the capital from the top was worth all the effort,” Émile remarked as we stood together at the summit. As we began our descent, Jean chose to linger a while longer upon the heights—and truly, I cannot fault him for wishing to remain a little longer in the company of such magnificence.
@@@@ @@@@
@@@@ @@@@
@@@@ @@@@
15 May, 1889
@@@@ @@@@
It has now been approximately a week since the grand commencement of the Exposition here in Paris, during which we have received a multitude of esteemed guests and dignitaries. And yet, I cannot help but observe the conspicuous absence of Monsieur Barsan. Considering the fervor with which he embraced this project from its inception, it strikes me as most curious that he should forgo so momentous an occasion.

I have sought Émile’s counsel on the matter, and he continues to maintain that Jean is presently occupied with another commission beyond the borders of France and shall not be returning in the near future. Though this explanation may suffice on the surface, I confess that I remain uneasy. There is something in the circumstances which, I believe, merits closer attention.

**Document-6517-10-056:** The following documents have been collected from Emile Nouguier's personal construction record.

[[div class="page"]]
The construction advances with commendable steadiness, and barring unforeseen difficulties, the tower ought to be completed within the next two years. Regrettably, I cannot say the same of the sphere. On numerous occasions, I have proffered my assistance to Jean, yet he remains resolute in managing the entirety of the work himself. Were it not for my familiarity with his character, I might be tempted to label him obstinate, perhaps even blame him for the ensuing delays. However, I recognize that his conduct springs not from selfishness, but from an uncompromising pursuit of perfection. His nature is meticulous to a fault. Nevertheless, I confess to a certain frustration at witnessing the project’s progress being hampered when it might surely benefit from a more collaborative effort.
[[/div]]

[[div class="page"]]
Jean has at long last completed his work upon the sphere, and I must confess it has exceeded even my own expectations. The sole task that remains is to bring it to life—to power it. For a fleeting moment, I harbored fears that we might be compelled to resort to some antiquated, almost barbaric rite, yet I was taken aback when Jean declared his intention to undertake this responsibility himself. He spoke with conviction that this project is the most consequential of his entire career, and for that reason alone, he feels the burden must rest squarely upon his own shoulders.

I made no attempt to dissuade him, fully aware that my entreaties would fall upon deaf ears. Jean has always exhibited a singular willingness to sacrifice greatly for the sake of his craft—a fact I have come to understand well, not least since our last enterprise in the city of Velmont.[[footnote]]There are no records of any town by this name that has ever existed within France.[[/footnote]] Thus, whatever fate awaits, let it come.

**Document-6517-12-030:** The following documents have been collected from Thomas Edison's personal journal after his return from Paris.

[[div class="page"]]
Today, after arriving in Paris, I had the opportunity to inspect Mr. Gustave Eiffel's tower during the Exposition. While I respect the engineering behind it—Eiffel is a clever man—I still maintain that the structure is a blemish on the skyline, resembling an unfinished power plant more than a monument.

However, the real event of the day was something I’ll not soon forget. I nearly lost my life. As I climbed the tower with Jimmy, we approached the edge of the platform to get a better view of the city. It was then that I stumbled on something, losing my balance. If Jimmy hadn’t grabbed me, I’d have been dashed to the ground below. When I turned back to see what had tripped me, I discovered it was a set of metal rods jutting from the platform’s surface. The oddest thing was that these rods hadn’t been there before, and for a moment, they resembled a human hand—before receding into the floor.

Now, I’m no fool, nor am I prone to flights of fancy. Jimmy saw it, too. But I’ve decided not to speak of this to anyone. My work is rooted in facts and reason, and I won’t let an unexplained anomaly tarnish my scientific standing.

@@@@ @@@@
**Real name:** Jean Barsan.

**Date of birth:** May 1840.

**Sex:** Male.

**Background:** Subject Jean Barsan is identified as a French architectural anartist and a confirmed former affiliate of the organization known as “Are We Cool Yet?” (AWCY?). Archival documentation indicates that Barsan formally established ties with the organization in 1876, following his admission into the //Association des Architectes Cools Français// (AACF). The AACF is understood to have operated as an autonomous subdivision of AWCY?, functioning as a professional collective of anartists specializing in the conception and construction of anomalous architectural structures. The organization remained active until its formal dissolution in 1941.

A comprehensive review of anomalous objects and structures recovered within French jurisdiction has substantiated that the subject, designated PoI-124, was directly involved in the creation of multiple sites exhibiting non-Euclidean spatial properties. Evidence suggests that such activities predated his membership in the AACF and continued thereafter. The most recent confirmed case involves a residential property located in Marseille. Investigation determined that traversal through any interior doorway within the structure results in the occupant being unpredictably displaced to alternate rooms located in ███████, with no consistent spatial correlation between points of entry and exit.

In 1879, PoI-124 was formally expelled from the AACF. The specific grounds for expulsion are not preserved in surviving records. However, testimonial accounts from former AACF members describe the subject’s technical methodologies and underlying ideological positions as exceeding the operational and conceptual boundaries deemed acceptable by the collective. Following his expulsion, no anomalous constructions or activities attributable to PoI-124 were documented for an extended period. Subsequent investigation later established his involvement in the design and development of SCP-6517.

**State:** Current location is unknown.

 ##red|**Subject:**## Incident-6517-Echo.234-11.

 ##red|**Date:**## ██/██/2007

 ##red|**Location:**## Tianducheng, China.

----

**Incident Report:** On ██/██/2007, an instance of SCP-6517, provisionally designated SCP-6517-B-11, manifested within the municipal boundaries of Tianducheng, China. Field operatives of the Global Occult Coalition (GOC) stationed in the region identified the anomaly immediately upon emergence and asserted operational control prior to the arrival of Foundation personnel assigned to implement standard containment and handling procedures.

In coordination with regional authorities of the People’s Republic of China, the GOC ordered a full evacuation of all civilian populations residing within Tianducheng and a six-kilometer exclusion zone centered on SCP-6517-B-11. The evacuation was completed without publicly acknowledged anomalous disclosure.

At ██:██ PM local time, a surface-to-surface missile was launched from a GOC installation located in ████████, approximately ██ kilometers from the anomaly’s position. The strike was authorized with the stated objective of neutralizing SCP-6517-B-11 through direct structural destruction.

Post-strike assessments provided by the GOC indicate that the missile impact caused extensive structural damage to SCP-6517-B-11. Immediately following the impact, however, the anomaly exhibited a rapid and hostile response. GOC telemetry describes a sudden retraction event accompanied by [REDACTED] seismic disturbances, followed by the release of an energy discharge of indeterminate origin. This discharge resulted in the confirmed deaths of ██ GOC personnel and ██ members of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army participating in the operation.

[[include component:image-block name=https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/local--files/scp-6517/lightning%20eiffel|caption=SCP-6517-B-11 [REDACTED], during Incident-6517-Echo-11. Photographer unknown|width=80px]]

Subsequent observation confirmed that SCP-6517-B-11 initiated a regenerative process, restoring the compromised sections of its structure within minutes of the initial strike.

Approximately thirty minutes after impact, SCP-6517-B-11 emitted a second energy discharge. Initial on-site reporting did not identify immediate physical effects associated with this event. However, a post-incident sweep conducted by Foundation investigative teams documented the emergence of a large-scale anomalous cognitive phenomenon affecting all human subjects within ██ kilometers of the anomaly. Affected individuals experienced a complete loss of proficiency in their native languages and demonstrated immediate adoption of French as their primary and exclusive linguistic framework.

Upon completion of its regenerative cycle, SCP-6517-B-11 triggered widespread environmental alterations within Tianducheng. Over an estimated period of forty minutes, surrounding structures underwent progressive architectural reconfiguration. These changes culminated in the transformation of proximate buildings into traditional Parisian-style constructions, collectively forming a high-fidelity architectural replica consistent with late 19th–early 20th century Parisian urban design.

Within the altered zone, a residential apartment complex has been designated Point of Interest PoI-124-A2. Comparative structural analysis against historical architectural records from Paris confirms that the layout, spatial orientation, and façade detailing of PoI-124-A2 correspond precisely to the documented former residence of Subject PoI-124.

Interior examination reveals furnishings consistent with early-to-mid 20th century European domestic design. Multiple documents and bound journals recovered on-site have been attributed to PoI-124 through handwriting and material analysis. Among the recovered materials is document-6517-21-035, referenced for further examination in Addendum-6517-04.
----
**Closing Note:** Following the incident, the SCP Foundation formally engaged with the government of the People’s Republic of China to assume full responsibility for the containment and management of SCP-6517-B-11. Operational authority was transferred from the Global Occult Coalition to the Foundation without further escalation.

Standard containment protocols were subsequently implemented in accordance with Foundation regulatory procedures.

A coordinated post-incident response was undertaken to preserve operational secrecy. Foundation field teams administered Class-B amnestic treatment to all confirmed witnesses, including evacuated civilians and affected personnel of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. Monitoring protocols remain active to identify any delayed cognitive or linguistic relapse among exposed populations.

[[div class="blockquote"]]

++++ ##red|__Project Proposal 1889-228: "La dame de fer"__##

**Name:** Jean Barsan

**Title:** La dame de fer

**Material Requirements:**

* 70kg of cement (Already used in the sphere).
* The French flag (Already used in the sphere).
* The thunder of Zeus (Already used in the sphere).
* The spirit of the French Revolution ( I'll save this for the last step).
* A monument that will represent the French Republic (This will be the Eiffel Tower)
 
**Abstract:** The first step shall be to await the completion of the Tower’s construction.

Upon its summit, that sacred point where the sun’s descent kisses the horizon, the sphere shall be set in place, so that both celestial and earthly design are brought into perfect accord.

Once positioned, the sphere must be endowed with power. For this purpose, I intend to invoke the very spirit of the French Revolution itself. The ritual shall demand that I offer my own being as the vessel through which that indomitable spirit may be summoned. Should all proceed as I have foreseen, the sphere will unite with the Tower’s iron frame, and through their union, the structure shall begin to grow.

The final phase will see the Tower’s foundations descend into the earth, spreading outward to every corner of the globe. If the summoned spirit retains even the faintest memory of its original essence, I shall be able to remanifest the Tower elsewhere.

**Intent:** As for myself, I have always considered my heart inclined toward patriotism since the earliest days of my youth. Even as a boy, I found endless fascination in the chronicles of the Napoleonic wars—a glorious chapter in which our nation stood unrivaled in might and prestige. Our undoing, I have often thought, was not born of cowardice on our part, but rather of the enemy’s unwillingness to face us upon the open field. And though we yet stand among the world’s great powers, I cannot help but feel that our own decline draws near. It is, after all, the immutable law of empires: that each, having reached its zenith, must one day descend again into shadow.

Beyond my love of history, art too claimed a sacred corner of my affections. In my youth, I harbored the ambition to become an artist; yet my father, a man of stern practicality, envisioned for me a more stable pursuit—mathematics and accounting, of all things. I lacked the courage to defy him outright, yet by degrees I won a compromise: architecture. At first, it seemed but a pale reflection of the artistic calling I had desired, yet in time I discovered in its discipline a noble harmony between art and science.

The years that followed were marked by little of consequence. I attended college, made the acquaintance of my good friend Émile, graduated, and lent my hand to various architectural firms. My true awakening, however, came when I stumbled upon a new art—one capable of breathing spirit into my designs, endowing them with voice and presence. Alas, few shared my enthusiasm for this unorthodox pursuit. Certain salons in France even forbade its display. Yet, in Paris, I at last found a circle of like-minded souls—or so I believed. They proved, in the end, to be a band of pretentious malcontents, envious and timid before the unknown. My final exhibition with them, held at Velmont, was both my triumph and my undoing. My work, by all accounts, outshone the rest to such a degree that the city jumped out of its teeth. For this, they contrived pitiful pretexts to cast me out. But I have never regarded it as misfortune—rather, as emancipation from their narrow-minded conventions.

My creations have ever sought to capture the golden age of the Republic, reflecting the ideals that carried our nation’s influence across both time and continents. The Eiffel Tower, I am convinced, shall remain the truest emblem of France herself: a lady of grace and refinement, yet of iron will, her values branching forth like roots to all civilized nations.

Now, as age lays its gentle claim upon me, I have contemplated retirement. Yet before I take my leave, I am resolved to perform one final act of grandeur—an undertaking so personal that I shall entrust it to no hands but my own.

[[div class="blockquote"]]
After what happened with the GOC, I have become certain that neutralizing SCP-6517 using physical force is crossed out of our options.

I had known from the start that the tower might possess some sentient, and those notes we found in the apartment had just confirmed my other theory of some sort of spirit inhabiting the thing. I suggest applying traditional exorcism to the tower, which might completely neutralize its anomalous properties. [[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7779|Its either that, or we're gonna have to remove the entire country of France from the existence.]]] But I'll have to get Gabriel's approval first for it to test my theory.

Do not confinè mè undèrground, or I will turn your world ordèr round.

[[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiffel_Tower_(Paris,_Texas)|I 
I’ll wèAr thè rèd hAt if I must, And flip your hAlls to Ashs And live dust.]]]
So tAkè this wArning, clèAr And plAin, don’t try to bury mè AgAin.

Your crown of tèèth won’t mAkè you tAll, I’m not A splintèr thin or smAll.
