"A prehistoric necropolis yields clues to the ancient use of sound and its effect on human brain activity.
Researchers detected the presence of a strong double resonance
frequency at 70Hz and 114Hz inside a 5,000-years-old mortuary temple on
the Mediterranean island of Malta. The Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum is an
underground complex created in the Neolithic (New Stone Age) period as a
depository for bones and a shrine for ritual use. A chamber known as
"The Oracle Room" has a fabled reputation for exceptional sound
behavior.
During testing, a deep male voice tuned to these frequencies
stimulated a resonance phenomenon throughout the hypogeum, creating
bone-chilling effects. It was reported that sounds echoed for up to 8
seconds. Archaeologist Fernando Coimbra said that he felt the sound
crossing his body at high speed, leaving a sensation of relaxation. When
it was repeated, the sensation returned and he also had the illusion
that the sound was reflected from his body to the ancient red ochre
paintings on the walls. One can only imagine the experience in
antiquity: standing in what must have been somewhat odorous dark and
listening to ritual chant while low light flickered over the bones of
one's departed loved ones."
