Ancient Sounds
23-Feb-2006

The video you can view by clicking on lier la video in this link contains sounds that have been derived by analyzing the grooves laid on a piece of pottery that was made at Pompeii over 2,000 years ago. There are words and, amazingly, human laughter. It's not a joke, but a serious archaeological effort. It seems that pottery all over the world contains sound in its groves, picked up naturally as the pots were made, in much the same way that an old wax recording was made.

3. Whitley Streiber's (??) Unknown Country... That's All I Needed To See.

Nothing here... move along.

4. actually, take a closer look.

the unknown country is just a link to ANOTHER website, which has the story about the pottery. It's in French.

5. Yes... Thank You... I Saw That Already.

And it makes no difference. The whole thing is ridiculous on the very face of it. The fact that a web site carrying Whitley Streiber's name links to such a preposterous story, only serves reinforce my position.

7. I believe that this clip was done as an April Fool's joke for Belgian TV.
