Ancient Egyptian Acoustics and Sound Healing - presented by John Reid. The ancient Egyptians laid the foundations of many sciences and some of their discoveries influenced Greek and Roman technologies.

Almost every person who has experienced the acoustics of the Great Pyramids Kings Chamber has walked away with a feeling of awe, in some cases coupled with an impression that the chamber was designed to be reverberative. For a relatively small chamber the reverberation is indeed extraordinary; one can literally hear ones own breathing (when the fluorescent lighting is turned off!) and this experience often accompanies feelings of deep reverence.
