	The '''Tunguska explosion''' was an enormously powerful explosion that occurred near the Podkamennaya [[Tunguska]] river, in what is now {{Wiki\|Krasnoyarsk Krai}}, [[Russia]], at about 7:14am on 30 June, 1908. It was caused by [[Nikola Tesla]] in collaboration with the [[Assassins]], who were trying to destroy a [[Templars\|Templar]] research facility where one of the [[Staves of Eden]] was being experimented upon.

	In 1905, the Templar [[Grigori Rasputin]] came into possession of Tsar [[Nicholas II of Russia\|Nicholas II]]'s [[Imperial Sceptre]], which was one of the Staves of Eden.

	However, the Assassins were ultimately unable to remove the [[Piece of Eden]] from the facility in time, and Tesla prepared to carry out his orders. Using his mastery of electricity and the {{Wiki\|Wardenclyffe Tower}}, Tesla [[Teleforce\|broadcasted an immense burst of electricity]] into the facility and the Piece of Eden, creating one of the largest explosions in known history. This explosion obliterated the research facility and the Staff within it. Nikolai was the only survivor of the event despite being at the explosion's center but still did not escaped unharmed, as the blast had torn his clothes to shreds and left him stunned for some time.<ref name="The Fall #2" />		[[File:Nikolai lying-The Fall2.jpg\|thumb\|250px\|Nikolai after the explosion at Tunguska]]

			A little over a century later, on 10 June 2013, the scientific journal ''{{Wiki\|Nature (journal)\|Nature}}'' published an article that said a recent geophysical study in the journal ''{{Wiki\|Planetary and Space Science}}'' had "confirmed" the explosion's origins.<ref>{{Cite web\|url=https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2013.13163\|title=Rock samples suggest meteor caused Tunguska blast\|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20211111062138/https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2013.13163\|archivedate=11 November 2021\|author=Peplow, Mark\|date=10 June 2013\|publisher=''Nature''\|accessdate=17 February 2025}}</ref> According to Prof. Victor Kvasnytsya, who led the study at the {{Wiki\|National Academy of Science of Ukraine}}, the explosion was caused by an iron-rich meteor based on the group's analyses of the region's {{Wiki\|peat}}s that held {{Wiki\|ejecta}} fragments, which they determined were "[[diamond]]–{{Wiki\|lonsdaleite}}–{{Wiki\|graphite}} intergrowths" containing {{Wiki\|troilite}}, {{Wiki\|taenite}}, {{Wiki\|austenite}}, and {{Wiki\|schreibersite}}, all iron-based minerals typically found only in meteoritic remnants.<ref>Kvasnytsya, Victor et al.
