6,500 year old voices - voices from 6,500 recording extract

[libertatus]

Seems like a waste of time.

[davycrocketful]

this is amazing...it would be so great if its true..

[ferociousgumby]

Those darned Frenchies are awfully good at the practical jokes, n'est-ce pas?

[Echtergadiel]

such a bullshit!

[MVrockersPS3]

FAKE and gay

[RedVynil]

@MVrockersPS3 I don't get it. Which part of it was homosexual???

[catchersmitt0]

@MVrockersPS3  bigot

[thomasrehling]

a man with a pipe is always right

[CusterFlux]

Those are voices ... no doubt ... either this is faked, or they're onto something; random noise doesn't sound like that. 

[camposantoo]

I hope that nanotechnology can restore sounds by books write hundreds years ago !

[LarryWaldbillig]

First, that recording sounds BETTER than most wax cylinders from the 1890s. Which disproves this. Because to make a cylinder recording, you had to talk or sing VERY LOUDLY into something that vibrates the cutting stylus. It sounds like a conversational volume this was recorded. Then there's surface speed and duration. It's rare a potter cuts a perfectly linear groove from bottom to top. Finally I think people already tried recording on clay in the 1890s before settling on wax. It didn't work.

[sderax456]

@LarryWaldbillig they used a computer, not a diamond

[GBADCD]

palhaços!!!!

[NielHill]

It is possible , perhaps....would be a nice way to look into the past.......

[identchannel1]

6000 YEARS!!! cant believe it men??

[LouisLeeKH]

It's fake!!!

[cbohar84]

I hear laughing

[MissOddstar]

@cbohar84 me too.

[Romanticdance]

The Mythbusters had this busted

[charliepc56]

If certain conditions existed, that might be possible. The problem is that some very fine straw or something of that nature that could be made to vibrate by loud noises would have to drag across it while moving from one side to the other. That probably did happen over so many centuries of pottery making, but to find a surviving pot that that happened to would be next to impossible..

[BishtrainerTai16]

[RWT683]

If you are wondering why it sounds like there is talking on the playback, that is the 6,500 year old caveman's wife berating him in the background as he's trying to make her a damn vase.

[tinotrivino]

@RWT683 not caveman, if there is pottery there is no more caveman!!!

[RWT683]

@tinotrivino Pottery is a stone age technology...IIRC pottery has been found in prehistoric caves. At any rate, 6,500 years ago is prehistoric in Europe, so I just meant caveman in a figurative context.

[tinotrivino]

@RWT683 no my firned the pottery is the begining with the corn implantations and there werent anynmore stone work even in the neolitic age!

[tinotrivino]

@RWT683 but i understand you :)

[erthany]

1:30 and pause.

[ferociousgumby]

Maybe it's some guy on the radio who's 6,500 years old.

[MushroomedAnymore]

@ferociousgumby And he lived to be 6, 500 years old because he was swigging strong beer and smoking DMT since his 1st year. People who live to be over 95 always do the opposite of what their doctors tell them!!! :-D

[rweerakkody4565]

english subitles please! :)

[GodOfUnbelief]

Sounds like two men laughing while talking

[BestVideoResponse]

For real?

[jaylias]

credo quia absurdum does not sit well with me. This is a ridiculous idea hahaha

[BavonWW]

I remember a similar hoax in West Germany about 1963 which claimed to have a recording of Schiller speaking at a potters...

Most unlikely and to my knowledge impossible

[AnasTangi]

@BavonWW It's not impossible.

All what you need is to create an efficient microphone which consists in 1 diaphragm in a cone connected to the needle.

If they knew this technique, they would have recorded everything the in past.

I'm not saying you can record music in high quality, but you can certainly leave intelligible audio tracks in pots or an rotating device you can scratch.

[1emanres]

My God. I could clearly hear a guy speaking French and laughing.

[ThePistolTheory]

Why dont you educate yourself abut the Sumerian Civilization who they've proven to be around since 7000 BC..? They were probably not even the first civilization either, but if you research they invented everything including the first battery. The stories they left behind are insane and you sould check it out

[TomJayable]

FAKE AND GAY!!!!!

[teedot]

@TomJayable ignorant kid. get educated.

[TomJayable]

@teedot i have an advice too... fu*k off b*tch

[teedot]

@TomJayable haha nice rebuttal. Resorting to profanity to feel like a big man shows your complete lack of intelligence

[TomJayable]

@teedot Duuh! I'm only 15 :P

[zilbiol]

it was an april fool's joke

[2agray]

It was proven to be a fake.

[manders7321]

@ilikebuds face-palm. dumbass.

[ferociousgumby]

If I put a wet clay pot down on the floor and stuck a needle in it and ran around and around and around it, while screaming, would it play back?

[Destinydudette]

@ferociousgumby No it wouldnt. The mythbusters tested it.

[IslandFlier]

@ferociousgumby That's awesome!

[AnasTangi]

@ferociousgumby Not perfectly, but it will be affected by the harmonics of your scream, that's for sure.

[rweerakkody4565]

@ferociousgumby possible. take a plastic cup and stick a needle at the bottom and 'record' on a pot :D

[kyleholtytp12]

@ferociousgumby Well, actually, yes.

[tinotrivino]

@ferociousgumby yes of course because the vibrations you transmit is there

[MyFaceHole]

@ferociousgumby mythbusters did a similar experiment

[coralarch]

@ferociousgumby Of course it would- but only if you ran round and round screaming like Ruprecht :)

[kx3clock]

@ferociousgumby yes

[ToneSpectra]

Surely a fake? Phonautograms aren't much clearer than this. The American show 'Mythbusters' investigated pottery etchings but failed to produce a viable recording even with modern hindsight. That said, those people were just as intellectually capable as we are today, so who knows if relentless efforts to record sound worked in a few cases? If people believed the spirits were in the wind, what more important thing could they devote their lives to? Is it less believeable than the pyramids?

[winterstellar]

It would have been funny if it were true, but it isn't. It has been debunked completely:)

[WhalesRBoss]

I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE SAYING!

[caporalchef4]

@WhalesRBoss Sucks to be you...Learn French.

[SMNONA100]

It seems entirely possible that an ancient might have grasped mechanics of talking into a vessel, as a conference of "spirit" into the object. However, it might also have been inadvertent, as the voice does not seem a proclamation to the ages, though perhaps the most eloquent pronouncement of the human into time is laughter. In any case, the strangest and most mysterious and timeless recording is etched into the conscious brain. -SM NONA

[alphakid42]

Sounds like it was made 3 years ago and they are laughing at us.

[alphakid42]

Je ne parle pas français, donc je ne peux pas vous comprendre. S'il vous plaît, est-il une version anglaise de cette vidéo ou une avec un sous-titre? Merci, Google, pour la traduction.

i do not speak French, so I cannot understand you. Please, is there an English version of this video or one with a subtitle? Thanks, Google, for the translation.

[ambershade]

@alphakid42 They say they have found voices accidentally recorded nearly 2000 years on a pottery. But this vid was made for fun, it's a fake!

[Cardan011]

fake

[CassetteMaster]

Hoax.

[kalloused]

It is entirely possible to do this and they did interpret sounds when they ran a sensitive needle over the pot. But in all honesty it was probably just a fluke and not the intent of the creator to try and "record their voices" onto a pot. Anything with that texture with grooves on it is going to contain sound variations when lifted electronically.

[atchoo2u]

saw this on X-files... it was a bowl

[neogeo53]

its odd the video said voice's but in the description it said about the tools used to make the pottery

[boonies4u]

@Dulcephone A myth that Mythbusters debunked.

[osp80]

@boonies4u IIRC they busted it using a mechanical stylus.if you read the grooves with a laser like they do with some really old records it gives you much less interference and programs can delete or be programmed to ignore background noise

[mreinstein48]

C'est merveilleux que de pouvoir écouter des gens de cette époque !!!!!

[iscrapman]

Always keep an open mind ... even if it's a chance in a million , it is still possible , otherwise i hope you don't play lottery !

[BlogsbytheDay]

So, they attached a USB Cord to a vase? Give me a break. This stuff is fake.

[animefuntime88]

@BlogsbytheDay its not attached to the vase!!! they most likly used computer imaging scanners to scan the groves and make up a digital copy of the grooves and play it back as sound. they are doing it with realy old records too to put the sounds onto computers so they wont be lost.

[mreinstein48]

@BlogsbytheDay it is not fake at all, incult man

[PKamargo]

Well... The Mithbusters busted this mith.

[dhw420]

@PKamargo should maybe do a spellcheck before you post anything. myth and mythbusters

[PKamargo]

@dhw420 I am brazilian and so english is not my mother language. In portuguese we say "mito" and the tv show is "Caçadores de mitos".

[guineapiggyman]

@PKamargo they are so incompetent in their testing. far from what actual scientists would do. they do a short flashy thing cuz its fot tv. and sadly, they arent skeptics, they are debunkers.

[ferociousgumby]

I like the version on the old Goon Show. Somebody put a big round slab of clay on the ground and ran around and around it with a stylus while bellowing a song.

[Dj3xilM4n]

Fucking fake

[guineapiggyman]

@Dj3xilM4n actually, no

[nobodythe7th]

amazing how far a little research goes:The faculty mentioned in the short reportage though was soon found to be non-existing, and the whole thing actually was merely a short 'docu-fiction', 'Vases sonores', by a young belgian film maker named Bilge Sehir

[TheTommyKay]

i bet the voices were screaming.....  ''croisssaaaaaaant, croisssaaaaaant''

[sheru7mera7naam007]

@TheTommyKay LOLLLLLL

[littlewalk]

fuck you

[joemichaelcurtis]

HES FLIPING US OFF!!! :(

[justvendetta]

A very funny hoax. Well made!

And the last phrase of the speaker "Credo quia absurdum" summs it all up.

[alienbaroque]

Please. If the people of Pompeii had managed to record audio into the grooves of their vases, and this were discovered, these scientists would be winners of the Nobel Prize. It's clever, though. How could a material like potter's clay record sound, with the same fidelity, of wax/vinyl, anyway? He saying the vases were actually speakers with the sound coming out. Would be awesome if it were true.

[DateWithNight]

who saying the potters are keeping sounds?why it caught a little time of that?.is it suppose to be keep catching sounds along 6500 yrs???

[leviton31]

Lol myth buster told you it was false!??? Hahaha they are not pro in the making of pottery and its not the original myth buster that did the test but their 3 useless sidekick, exept for the asian guy. The fact is they are pro in special effect and pyrotechnic but forget everything else. They are just like my grand father in his garage with his tools. Its a god damn TV SHOW not scientist.

[maluorno]

didnt Mythbusters bust the shit outta this one?

[nmka123]

@maluorno nope its possible if the same resonance is achieved like it was when it was made 6500 yrs ago.

[justvendetta]

@maluorno Yes, they did!

[MrJAMESBAKER85]

he is not talking about old voices hes talking about hes crack pipe

[tarryarah]

WHAT THE

[qrfbsca]

Even if it is fake, you've gotta love the pipe

[XBAGREMX]

FUCK French...

[aaronmcc1231]

mythbusters have tryed this and it is fake

[FeaRxMaGiq]

@aaronmcc1231 that's a show, not real science to be compared to scientist.

[Sem5626]

fake and gay

[BronxRapper]

THIS IS FAKE, A HOAX

[bullyword]

1:23 is a laugh.

listen carefully.

[elias45588]

what are they saying

[tseekr379]

"Belgian researchers have been able to use computer scans of the grooves in 6,500-year-old pottery to extract sounds made by the vibrations of the tools used to make the pottery."

forgive me for a rather ignorant question, but is this even possible??

[steveecker]

@tseekr379 Lol no, it's not possible. This is a hoax. Natural erosion would destroy any records etc within a short amount of time (compared to 6500 yrs). Erosion ALWAYS wears away the outer surfaces FIRST, which is where they claim it was stored etc lol... This is a waste of time.

[Elmeromero1]

@tseekr379 YES. If vibrations were to be recorded on a cylender for phonographs, it is entirely possible, but honestly even if this is fake or not, it's not impossible.

[paranormaalutrecht]

@Elmeromero1 it is not!

[Destinydudette]

@Elmeromero1 No its not true, Mythbusters tested it.

[Houshalter]

I immagine that it would be theoretically possible that a bizzare accident could have recorded and preserved sounds or voices from hundreds of thousands of years ago, but a potters wheel would be a far less then ideal way to do this.

[kinetic82]

Oh come on, this was an X-Files episode!

[DavieDave59]

THIS WAS A APRIL FOOLS HOAX.... NOT REAL ...

[Richardddoobies]

Mythbusters tried it... BUNK!

[suguspjr]

Among the ancient tools, I thought I heard a 6.500 year old fart

[34Adamlee77]

um. how would they be able to extract 6500 year old voices. wouldnt it be just noise since they themselfves are talking and making noise and the vase would just record everything and it would just sound like  KRKWEKRWEKWNMCFKWCKWMCWMDCFKWD­CK HAHA

[jhoc2x2]

@34Adamlee77 exactly.. was thinking the same.. mdwakkwkwkwrarraffchlfuckyourm­otherwhoreskkkkk lol

[Atharkas]

Pas mal pas mal, je me demande si il y en a d'autres.

[2fej]

This is absolutely cool. Modern man just rediscovered an old technology.

[0pteryx]

Where are these vases from and what language is it?

[mangono]

The vase is from the old Roman Empire. So the language is Latin, I think. I may be wrong, but most likely it is.

[mangono]

The vase is from the old Roman Empire (more specific: Pompeii). So the language is Latin, I think. I may be wrong, but most likely it is.

[NSB0953]

Would anyone be willing to translate or at least give me an idea of what they talked about in this video?

[johncartwright302]

They had this concept in the X-Files.

[JUG00AK47]

BS!

[z1inspector]

simply TEST the theory DAMIT

make a clay bowl to the beat of Led Zeppelin's john bonham drumming moby dick!!

THEN PLAY IT BACK kidding of course

HOWEVER

a simple test of this nature should prove its validitty !!!

[19bk87]

6500 years ago they seemed to laugh just like us :P

[GT500wade]

That was Snoop Dog saying fuck you whitey

[RAiNbowDUtchEsS]

great! now do it in english cuz im a stupid american!

[mexicantraveler]

I think of myself as pretty open mided person...but this.. ??? mmmmm ...... so can we now hear the mayans ??? or probably the egytptian faraons speak ?? aztec beans recipies ???  lol

[Hermetiqa]

I am skeptical of their claim, but the basic science of the methods used in this video DOES record sound.

[jam3rr]

I was thinking the same thing. I guess it's not to far fetched considering we have things like the vinyl record

[randymcarn]

Go to 1:04 if you want to know what this guy thinks about the skeptics

[mynamesbobby]

this is fake you fucking idiots.

[kaferere]

Boolsheet, avec nobzon.

[ilikebuds]

why does it say 6500 years ago when rome only came into the scene at just over 2000 years ago?

[PaulUmbarger]

LOL! Because they are measuring it in METRIC years! LOL! Nah, actually, the reason is because it's pure "male bovine excrement".

[sunnyhunter1]

He has spoken from Pompejj,

everthing in the cosmos has a vibration, our voice too. the vibration from the voice is in the objekt

[animefuntime88]

@ilikebuds i believe this is greek potery not roman.

[mhilhatori]

@ilikebuds Who says it was from rome?

[ilikeblondie]

@ilikebuds there have been people in the Rome area for about 14,000 years though.

[ilikebuds]

lol

[ferociousgumby]

I think what they should be doing is experimenting with recording sound on fresh clay pots, using all different methods of inscription, to see if they can get anything to work (that they can play back). A "scientific" group called First Sounds has supposedly played back a recording from 1860 made on smoked glass (not meant to be played then). They've been embraced completely, but it looks like hokery to me. Similarly, a Chopin recording from 1840 turned out to be fake.

[PhuqueU]

I saw the guy's lips move.

[sorin1918]

Funny cause i was looking to an episode from the series Bones and they were using a devise to render a voice from a melted glass..wich sounded far-fetched but now...

[BBZM]

WoW, not that i believe in this particular video, but the idea of excreting sound from ancient artefacts sounds fascinating ! I think this may be possible !

[z1inspector]

im with you,very interesting. if this one were true ,theyd interpit the language of the recordings

OR AT LIEST

this video to english !!!!!!!!!!!!

[thejakesrock]

this is a hoax, not real. if you even listen to edison's recordings, these one sound SO MUCH BETTER than edisons. that's simply not possible...ancient, accidental 7000 year old recording sounding better and CLEARER than edison's "Mary had a little lamb"? Bull

[tl0202]

why couldnt this have happened by accident? why couldnt it have been more clearer than edison? how do you know this is not real?

[warlock242]

Fascinating.

[pbcnetworkz]

Wasn't there a X-files episode about this?

The bowl of Jesus or something?

[cbjewelers0com]

yeah , it was the lazarus bowl... which when jesus was raising lazarus from the dead there was a woman making a clay bowl and the words of jesus got recorded into the grooves of the bowl.

[VERSA86]

Damn Atlanteans! still trying to fukk us over with their ancient tech-crap that got them flushed out! hehe

those arent 'voices' thats false advertising

[jdtrickster4]

Did I give you permission to talk? Keep my mother & father out of this and concentrate on what's between my legs.

And when your mommy gets back from walking the streets tell her to wash your mouth with soap and water - you've been a little naughty sissy boy :)

[jdtrickster4]

"Why is the title in English & then the video in French? Does that make sense? I guess I won't hear those 6500 yr. old voices. :)"<=

First of all, does that smiley face & comment look like I'm "whining?" ;) You had a thumb down. Mine has 5 thumbs UP! lol

And u can lie to yourself but not to me, bud. You said "learn french" to my comments dork head. That's not suggesting lol

The film is in French, the title in English so I commented that it was, that's not complaining at all, faggot. lol

[jdtrickster4]

It would be nice to know it but not for one video :P I already know two languages besides my mother tongue. I know a lil French though: Como ca va tu? Como andale vous? Tres bien. Merci. :)

And I don't need french to get thumbs up. My comment has 5 thumbs up -more than anybody- yours has 1 down ;) Learn manners.

[jpsmart59]

I hear voices that originate not from our physical

plane but from the spiritual plane.

[prototype9000]

waste of time and money

[riccardobruero]

About ten years ago, I saw a program on television about accidental recording on ancient pottery - no voices, though, just working sounds.

[Thinkfest]

Make Magazine reported this video was an April Fools' joke. (See the Museum of Hoaxes for details.) It's a cool idea, though, isn't it? :)

[effyleven]

I listened hard, but I couldn't hear the ring of truth! ;-)

[jpsmart59]

I wonder if the Beatles started that way. 45's seem like ancient technology now a-days.

[retepvosnul]

non sense.

[archchrissy]

tres amusant! . . also, you can hear the ocean in a conch shell.

[boobooberry]

it's not the ocean. In reality it's your blood flow in your ear that you can hear in a shell :)

[jdtrickster4]

Why is the title in English & then the video in French? Does that make sense? I guess I won't hear those 6500 yr. old voices. :)

[captn1pugwash]
