We assemble data from many areas of science to illuminate human developments in Euro/Levantine prehistory and the story of Western Civilization. Our goal is to bring credible evidence from antiquity to meaningful purpose in the present, and to facilitate a wider perspective for 21st-century professionals.
New discoveries in Neuroscience are augmenting the study of Archaeoacoustics in a fascinating investigation of ancient beginnings.
This short article appearing in the “Letters” section at Academia.edu has now been read in 92 countries across a sea of disciplines.
A major book is now being prepared for publication in early 2024.
Are you interested in the extent of the role and power of acoustics in early ritual, ceremony and social structuring?
Beyond its natural soundscape, do you want to know more about the useful signs for identifying possible acoustic purpose in an ancient site?
Can new public spaces incorporate features that can harness acoustic benefits of ancient structures?
How can one relay responsible scientific research about prehistory to students who are bombarded by unsupported conjecture prepared for commercial purpose?
What is the best way to responsibly document a huge and compelling story that has both audio and visual components?
What primitive concepts can be implemented to transcend cultural manipulation and inspire composition of poignant music?
Are you doing research in sound/vibration and its impact on brain activity? Would you like to develop a physiotherapeutic application?
Are you interested in exploring new treatments for disorders like addiction and depression? To what extent can we use what we have learned from antiquity to help people today?
Tell us:
how can the information that we have collected about Archaeoacoustics and prehistory be useful to you?
Be smart. The selective manipulation of data to support a personal theory about aliens and/or lost "advanced" societies amounts to saying that an estimated third of the world's present population and their ancestors could not possibly have had the intelligence to do what they did. "Somebody else must have taught them.”
This proposition and the 21st Century notion of what is advanced is subjective and culturally stifled. It threatens to shatter already fragile self-esteem in order to sell entertainment in a world of unedited commercial media bombardment. Please learn how to separate pseudoscience from credible research. Real researchers cite evidence.
