I saw this on telly years ago, and have always wanted to see it again. At last, someone has put it on YouTube ! Very interesting theory, with good science to back it up. I believe there is a book which corresponds with the programme - maybe something to use that Chrimbo book token on? Festive greetings all! I wasn't sure if I should have put this in the Sacred Sites part or here...

BBC iPlayer - Noise: A Human History
Episode 1 seems pertinent to this thread
"Echoes in the Dark"
Quote:
| What do caves tell us about the mind and beliefs of Neolithic people? With no scientific explanation to hand for the phenomenon of the echo, it was natural to assume it was a spirit voice.
Certain echoes sounded like the galloping hooves of beasts; others like the fluttering wings of birds. These echoes appeared to come from the rocks themselves. They moved, they were uncanny - all this hinting at a 'spirit world' within.
Professor David Hendy from the University of Sussex visits the caves of Arcy-sur-Cure in Burgundy with musicologist Iegor Reznikoff to listen to evidence deep underground next to paintings of bison and birds. |

Part 2 looks interesting as well - the Beat of Drums
First broadcast: Tuesday 19 March 2013 15 minutes
Words are only one way to communicate - humans have found many more.
Professor David Hendy travels to Ghana to hear the talking drum, a language made of drumbeats that once carried messages through the rainforest like a telegraph signal.
There's also a treasure from the Pitt Rivers Sound Archive - the sound of BayAka pygmies of the Central African Republic preparing for a net hunt. How do non-verbal sounds carry information and how do they bind us together as a group?
