A Greek traveler, Demetrius, circa 200 B.C., wrote that the Egyptians used vowel sounds in their rituals:
"In Egypt, when priests sing hymns to the Gods they sing the seven vowels in due succession and the sound has such euphony that men listen to it instead of the flute and the lyre."

Interesting you would post these...
One of our ex long time members, whose name started with a Z, had a particular interest in whatever that object is in the photos. If I remember correctly, he felt it was possible this device was for speaking into. Don't know if he was right, but it is interesting that any time I've seen images of this "staff?", it is usually near someones mouth. Obviously, that isn't conclusive, but it is curious. Especially the second image.

Resonance may be the most important principle of sound healing and has various definitions. In the context of healing humans or animals it can be described as the frequency of vibration that is most natural to a specific organ or system such as the heart, liver or lungs. This innate frequency is known as the prime resonance.

John Stuart Reid's hypothesis that explains the giant hexagonal cloud formation on Saturn as cymatic geometry created by a sub-E.L.F. (Extremely Low Frequency) sonic source.
The reputation and history of Damascus steel has given rise to many legends, such as the ability to cut through a rifle barrel or to cut a hair falling across the blade,[5] but no evidence exists to support such claims. A research team in Germany published a report in 2006 revealing nanowires and carbon nanotubes in a blade forged from Damascus steel.[6] This finding was covered by National Geographic[7] and the New York Times.[8] Although certain types of modern steel outperform these swords, chemical reactions in the production process made the blades extraordinary for their time, as damascus steel was superplastic and very hard at the same time. Woody biomass and leaves are known to have been used as carburizing additives along with certain specific types of iron (rich in microalloying elements) during the smelting process to obtain Wootz steel ingots which would be further forged and worked into Damascus steel blades, and research now shows that carbon nanotubes can be derived from plant fibers,[9] suggesting how the nanotubes were formed in the steel. Some experts expect to discover such nanotubes in more relics as they are analyzed more closely.
A basic study was carried out, tracing ray paths for the transmission of sound in
the space and considering materials, surfaces and reflections. It was clear that sound
would move most freely between the outer Sarsen and the bluestone circle. It seemed
possible from this, that there might have been some sort of partial whispering gallery
effect. The lack of a continuous wall, the spaces between stones, may have created
a series of echoes, rather than the whispering gallery effect caused by the coherent
transmission of sound around a curving stone wall, such as that found at St. Paul’s
Cathedral in London, or the Baptistry at Pisa. These and other circular stone sites of
ritual significance were investigated for comparison, and several were found to have
well known acoustic effects. A circular stone building will be likely in most cases to
have some acoustic effects.

Hmm,
My guess is that they would be used for ritual healing.
Most ancient cultures used the seemingly magical power of sound to heal.

What strikes me when looking at this picture of stonehenge, is that it -seems- to have been partially destroyed, on the right side of the circle
Don't know what purpose it served exactly, maybe there was more than rituals there
After all, the first nanotech swords existed more than 2000 years ago

Perhaps because the tungsten-rich ores used to make wootz steel ran out, the making of Damascus blades stopped during the 18th century. The techniques vanished from metalsmith lore. Modern metallurgists tried again and again to recreate the blades, but without success. Then, a little more than a year ago, German scientists explained their difficulty: wootz steel was full of carbon nanotubes, a miracle material "discovered" in 1991. Some chemists argued that regular steel possesses these nanotubes,

They're nothing more than the old style of passive speaking tubes (not sure of the correct technical name for them) like they used on ships before they invented microphones and loudspeakers,the output going to a large horn shaped device to amplify their voices and make them sound more deity like.
