6,500 Year Old Voices Recorded In Pottery

Blog by MistaPrimeMinista Blogging in HighTech

This is simply amazing, researchers from Belgium have been able to extract voices and sounds from a pottery that is 6,500 year old. The person making the pottery at the time was using something very sensible to vibrations which recorded the sound vibrations on the pottery. This amazing video is in French so I hope you will not mind. However at the end of the video there is a recording shown and you can hear somebody laughing from 6,500 years ago. Scam or no scam ? One of our readers said it was a scam ! : )

Since they have more than one pottery to examine, and if the results are of a good audio quality they are willing to put everything on CD for the public. Next thing you know, a guy from 6,500 laugh is on MTV !

This is the link from the original video file and not from YouTube.com

If this is for real (which I have no reason to believe otherwise other than the pot looks AMAZING for being 6500 years old) then that’s just incredibly cool.

Or it would be if I understood french.

Wow!!!
Believe it or not, I’ve seen this process on the CSI, don’t recall which unfortunally, but I thought it would be only some rambling from the SciFi guys, now it’s seems its a reality. Strange world indeed, provinding us with clever clues to the ones before us, you just havve to know where to look for them, hein?

I couldn’t decide whether it was for real — it does seem theoretically possible that the needle used for decorating the vase could record sound — so I went to the source (zalea.org), found the video, googled the director, and found his website:

It says it’s a 2005 April’s Fools joke.

Sorry to disappoint
