True, now what if....
We are simply seeing "Science" discovering something that is presently forgotten but was known to the Ancients based on a scientific principle they have not fully explored yet?edit on 2-12-2013 by SLAYER69 because: (no reason given)

NO wires or cords,hence the use of the term "passive".Just a tube with a small horn on the speaking end and a larger horn on the "obey me or feel my wrath" end.Horns have been used for thousands of years because of their ability to amplify sounds without the use of electricity.

What happens when you have a circle of the right type of stones, that are well connected to the ground. Someone starts singing in the middle, and the electrons in the crystal lattice in the mass of the stones are displaced. Since the whole shebang is set on an electrical telluric current, immersed in the magnetic field of the earth. Wouldn't that essentially act like a microphone, causing a carrier wave in the magnetic field. Which might have a few interesting effects. One being the singing could be picked up by a similar structure down the line. Or perhaps another when the energy input into the stones, is reversed it does a playback loop, the crystal lattice in the stone is incredibly similar to the way silicon chips hold information in the lattice. Geo electronics?

No it's impossible for a 20 ton stone to act as a microphone I'm afraid.The diaphragm on a modern microphone weighs slightly more than nothing (less than 1 gram),it has to be this light to be sensitive enough to be able to pick the minute changes in air pressure from any "normal" sound that human ears can withstand.As I have said already several times in this thread (and both have been ignored),it would need so much energy to get these stones to resonate that any human eardrums within several 100 meters would be instantly and permanently damaged.
A carrier wave has to be generated in a stable manner,and then the audio has to be modulated onto it.There is no known way that nature can do this,we have to use electronic circuits to modulate a carrier wave and then transmit it,and the reverse at the other end to receive and de-modulate it.
An unpowered loudspeaker can "sing" (techically known as sympathetic resonance) if it is energised by sound waves at it's resonant frequency,but again it will only respond to a narrow band and not to full range.But again this is with lightweight and sensitive paper coned speakers,this can never happen with stones,no matter how many times you use the magic word "crystal".

Sorry but I have absolutely no idea,prior to about two days ago I'd never seen those photos.What I do know is that mankind only properly started to understand and safely use electricity about 150 years ago.If the Egyptians were using it,we'd have some evidence of how they generated,stored,transmitted and used it.As far as I'm aware there is exactly no evidence at all that the ancient Egyptians used electricity for anything at all.They'd have made a hell of song and dance about if they had done so,and instead of some very ambiguous images that could possibly be electrically powered devices and nothing else,there would have been countless drawings of how they generated/stored it etc.If they had access to some fantastic power that would have elevated them above every other civilisation on earth,do you not think they'd have made sure everyone knew about it?
They're drawings and nothing else.As I understand how they worked,the various structures were built and left blank for future artists to come and add their thoughts to a sort of timeline kinda story thing.
Just a guess,but the weird bit in or on the mouthpiece of what ever it is looks kinda like a musical reed to me.I still believe this to be just a noise making device,or at least the plans for one that was never built.

The famous burning of the Library of Alexandria, including the incalculable loss of ancient works, has become a symbol of the irretrievable loss of public knowledge. Although there is a mythology of "the burning of the Library at Alexandria", the library may have suffered several fires or acts of destruction of varying degrees over many years. Ancient and modern sources identify several possible occasions for the partial or complete destruction of the Library of Alexandria.[20]

There is no circle of semiconductors,maybe you have them confused with resistors? The raw ingredients for them can of course be found in their basic state in nature,but they can't ever become semiconductors until they are put through a VERY carefully controlled procedure in 100% sterile conditions.Resistors can exist in nature,and I'm sure you could find evidence that certain layers of alternating conducting and insulating rocks could act as natural capacitors.Sadly I don't think we'll ever find 64 bit Snapdragon processors growing in the ground though.
I reckon even the very most sensitive measuring equipment we have would struggle to pick up any sort of charge in these rocks,and there's no way a person standing in the middle of an unfinished and so almost random collection of stones would be able to feel anything real if they were taken there in a blind test.edit on 6-12-2013 by Imagewerx because: (no reason given)

I think that we could be looking at something like Nathan Stublefields ground telephone system. They had batteries, they could work copper. As far as the average Joe went it could have been a magical communication system. Communication would be have been key to running a coherent society. www.en.wikipedia.org...

This...
is quite interesting.
And so is this from leolady.
Stonehenge strikes me as a feat of engineering, rather than just a design. Like it truly had a practical purpose, as well as a significance to the people of the time. Beliefs may have played a big part of our ancestors lives, but I think there was more science going on back then than we have given them credit for.

El Caracol ("The Snail") is located to the north of Las Monjas. It is a round building on a large square platform. It gets its name from the stone spiral staircase inside. The structure, with its unusual placement on the platform and its round shape (the others are rectangular, in keeping with Maya practice), is theorized to have been a proto-observatory with doors and windows aligned to astronomical events, specifically around the path of Venus as it traverses the heavens
