Damn, I thought this was going to be about Pink Floyd! ;-) I remember seeing something about this right at the very end of a history programme of some sort on UK TV when I was a child -- probably mid to late 80s. I'm not sure where the pots were from, it might have been Egypt, but the principle is the same. I have a doubt at the back of my mind, though, that it might have been a programme by a non-reputable "historian" (a von Daniken type) rather than a bone fide historian. qb Quoting Lee Revell <rlrevell@xxxxxxxxxxx>: > Forwarded from another list I am on: > > From: Mike Cheponis > Date: February 18, 2006 2:48:00 PM PST > Subject: audio recording from - ancient Pompeii !!! > > French archaeologists have taken pottery from ancient Pompeii and > played the grooves back like a record to get the sounds of the > pottery workshop, including laughter.
