Recently, archaeologists have discovered another interesting thing about Britain's holiest area. Accordingly, Stonehenge may be the place where the ancient people created a sound hallucination.

If there are two people playing the flute in the area, when you walk around Stonehenge, you will hear a sound, said Dr. Steven Waller, an expert in sound characteristics at ancient sites. Very strange. The sound waves emitted from each player will be mutually exclusive, creating a different sound score.

Stone circle mysterious Stonehenge.

Although the hypothesis is speculative, the experimental results show that the Stonehenge stone layout actually provides a kind of auditory hallucination .

On the other hand, this theory is also supported by a legend that tells us that in the past, this place was inhabited by two people with love. Stonehenge was created for them to join with their flutes, bewitching and enticing girls to dance and then turn them into stone. Therefore, Stonehenge was also dubbed the "flute-like rocks".

To conduct the experiment, volunteers were asked to walk around the area with their eyes covered while the other two played the flute. They will notify Waller whenever they think there is an obstacle that exists between them and the flute.

In fact, they did not encounter any obstacles, but the acoustic "dead spots" created by the phenomenon of interference with interference caused the volunteers to think yes.

'They showed the structure, walkways and gaps of the obstacles they felt, and it was interesting that what they pointed out was quite similar to Stonehenge , ' Waller said.

Waller believes that those who built Stonehenge more than 5,000 years ago may have known this illusion. Although this research is still unable to solve the mystery of Stonehenge, it contributes to highlighting the importance of sound in archaeological discoveries.
