"... Stonehenge is a ruin. Whatever sound it originally had 3,000 years ago has been lost but now, using technology created for video games and architects, Dr Rupert Till of the University of Huddersfield has - with the help of some ancient instruments - created a virtual sound tour of Stonehenge as it would have sounded with all the stones in place."

Interesting little video clip in link below was shown on our local news programme, Points West, earlier this evening.

Not a lot of detail but Rupe has got form on this ,hopefully he will have improved upon his earlier understanding from 6 years ago .
Needless to say using the Maryhill building as the basis is hardly helpful ,when it is not assured as being a true representation of the original monument . i.e. "all the stones in place " is a euphemism for let's imagine it looked like this , when we don't really know .

I don't think they'll ever stop claiming this and that about Stonehenge until they are finally able to prove it is the Birthplace of Humanity! :-)

Irresppective of whether Stonehenge was a case in point, and with reference to the comment below about hearing the sound of drumming coming from WKLB, the hypothesis that our forebears created, on occasion, places with a deliberate auditory element to them, or utilised caves and other geological features with that facility remains valid. They were very probably greater sensualists than we are, to our detriment, appreciating what the natural world had to offer, be it sound or visual, for example auroras or the sun and moons reflections in water filled cup or bullaun stones. We should recognise, appreciate and respect that, and not deride.
