Neolithic acoustics of Stonehenge revealed by academics


Following on from ryaner's post...

"A team of academics have revealed the "sonic experience" that early visitors to Stonehenge would have heard.

Salford's Dr Bruno Fazenda said they had found the site reacted to sound "in a way that would have been noticeable to the Neolithic man".

He said the research would allow a "more holistic" view of its past."
