Not a new idea. See links. |

[marked-for-deletion] interesting idea, but also old |
|
| |
I don't think that has ever been done before. Just think of the
possibilities of a PhD by scraping the mud from the bottom of
caves and analyzing the mud for sounds. |
|
| |
Technicians will be viving for a chance to invent the way to
discover the sound, separate it into conversations, amplify
the results and sell DVD, CD or what ever the current media is
for public consumption. I |

I think you are right, it has not ever been done. |
|
| |
I would guess there may be two possible reasons for this. 1. It is possible but no-one has ever thought of trying. 2. fill in your own reason different from 1. |

This field already has its own wikipedia page (linked from the linked Paleoacoustics idea). From that page: |
|
| |
"In 1993, archeology professor Paul Åström and acoustics professor Mendel Kleiner performed similar
experiments in Gothenburg, and reported that they could recover some sounds.[30] |
|
| |
An episode of MythBusters explored the idea: Episode 62: Killer Cable Snaps, Pottery Record found that while
some generic acoustic phenomena can be found on pottery, it is unlikely that any discernible sounds (like
someone talking) could be recorded on the pots unless ancient people had the technical knowledge to
deliberately put the sounds on the artifacts.[31]" |

That's Halfbakery for you. |

Its 2021 (yes I said 2021!) You have this fantastic idea, that
no
one thought of before and will change the world. Your
waiting
to hear how its bad science,and of course cannot be done. It
was already tried in 1993 (1993!!) and then there were 2
(2!!!!) mythbuster episodes dealing with it, and a Wikipedia
page (a Wikipedia page!!!!!!) dedicated to the idea. |
|
| |
And then I read the wikipedia page :-( |
|
| |
and @n-pearson's idea (thanks @xaviergisz) |
