"...tink-tink-tink, God save Queen! Fascist regime! Tink-tink-tink..."

The entire point of life: Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve. Mathew 20: 28. We are no different. This entire life is a representation of the spiritual warfare going on. Good vs evil. God isn't a flying man in the sky, but the actual representation of Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Light, etc. Not metaphor, but literally, like an extra demintional wavelength of thought, emotions, and intent. The devil is the opposite wavelength, pain, fear, hate, anger, darkness, etc. Human life is serving one of these two. Not a man in the sky, actual sentient collective universal Love. However, humans are primatives, we make mistakes. It's in our nature, since the fall, to go down the wrong path. This means at some time each one of us has served darkness to some degree. God understands our limited understanding of our own actions, so he gave us forgiveness, though sacrificing himself in human form as Jesus Christ. It is our duty to accept that sacrifice, get the forgiveness, and be better, helping others be better, and spreading this wavelength of Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Light, etc, thoughout the universe. But God had to make a way for us to get to this place spiritually, this is why evidence is not allowed. Evidence will make you believe, using the fear of absolute punishment to change your behavior, but that won't make you better, just scared. Faith makes you better. It is what redeemes us, not our works. Faith is the hope that things get better, that justice always prevails, that we're at least loved by our creator. But it has to be Faith in Jesus, because of his sacrifice. And there can't be evidence to point us to him, because Love had to be fair. If there were a code in our DNA, what about everyone born before genetic sequencing? If there were a book with the solar system thosands of years ago, what would stop an evil person from hiding/destroying it? If it were something you had to go to, what about the geographically isolated, imprisoned, or enslaved. If it were a train of logic, what about the uneducated, or mentally slow? Not to mention all the people born before schools. Love cannot give to one without giving to the other. So the key to salvation had to be something everyone has access to. The only thing is Faith. This is why God puts it upon your heart to learn about these things, even if it's only to criticize, or hate. God is everywhere, because Love is everywhere, and so is the devil, because hate is everywhere. They're in your head all the time, regardless of weather or not you accept that. They whisper inside your heart, giving you ideas. But more than that, they're inside everyone's heart. This is how they get things done. They corrordanate us like pieces on a chess board. The only difference is, we get to chose who's side we're playing for. At the end of our life, we go to that team's home base, Heaven, or Hell. A place where all that exists is those wavelengths. Hate, pain, anger, fear, darkness; or Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Pleasure, Light. The choice is yours to make. But you cannot go to Heaven with hate in your heart. You must forgive, repent, and spread joy for those around you. These are sentient eternal controlling forces in our universe. Heaven and Hell are very real places, I've seen them. Those steps prime your soul for a meeting with God. Very literally. Once you've done all four, in that order, you get divine revelation, with all the evidence you'll ever need. They are, forgive your parents, brake down before Jesus, ask for forgiveness, and read the Bible. Step four takes three books to get the revelation. I recommend Genesis, Mathew, and then either Luke, Psalms, or proverbs. The order of the steps is important, step 1 has to come before step 3. I can state that for an absolute certainty that these steps always work. Please, take your salvation seriously. See for yourself. Do those steps. Jesus Christ is Lord. It's all True.,

Interestingly, there are rare examples of stone ideophones (rock gongs) that have made their way into more recent music history.... Just not in the Western world. There are stone marimbas in Africa - though wood is far more common. There's also an ancient Chinese instrument which is tuned to the pentatonic scale - all rocks hung on a rack - the Bianzhong. It is played in certain traditional Chinese music, usually alongside a Chinese carillon.

@@ems7623 stoner rock :v defo extremely interesting 🥁🗿

@@umbertopaggi3006 ^this video is enlightening. I thought the metal mounting bracket was affecting the sound too, but that video suggests otherwise.

A young artist and an experienced archaeologist, ten thousand years from now, trying to figure out how to play an anvil XD

Yeah! ... interesting possibility. Hummm. One thing I’ve noticed, archeologists some times jump into conclusions of the use of some artifact not knowing that much about the culture they are researching. It’s as if they want to ne the ones who gave the use instead of leaving the door open to other possibilities for latter findings where they’ll find or understand a bit more about it.

@@mitsuomits9077 I think there are those types in any field of science. There was a family in Turkey whose kids all walked on all fours and some highly regarded geneticists and others jumped to the conclusion that they had some missing link gene. They really just had abnormal cerebellums.

@@Skenderbeuismyhero That's true. And about the Turkish family, I think I saw a documentary about them, are they the ones that can walk with their knees almost all straight ( if I remember well)?.

and even then the rocks would still sound. and since most crafts are rhythm based, working these stones would most likely still generate music. check "FOLI (there is no movement without rhythm)" to get an idea of that... our societies are tuned into very different kinds of rhythms than most other who ever shared this planet, yet even our machines are music

They're trying to figure out what the culture was around it, though. There's a certain way you play a guitar, for example, and it's very recognizable and part of our cultural image of a guitar. It would be neat to know if our distant ancestors had a cultural image of a rock gong player. They're studying how our ancestors thought of the rock gong, not just how they used it.

@@Olly676 ‘humans’ as in homosapiens have existed for roughly 300,000/400,000 years, but evolution is much more complicated than that and the earliest known human relative is anamensis’ around 4 million years ago.

@@jacobshabir2722 Recent estimates tend to place the emergence of modern humans somewhat more recently than that (see, for example, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6736881/ ), and arguably all cellular life is a known human relative, no? Our hominid ancestors were using stone tools up to a few million years ago, though, true. Were they doing it because they enjoyed the sound it made? Who knows, maybe.

Is there something special about these rocks? Is it just that they are the right shape for playing? Thanks :)

Travis Jones just a guess, but perhaps the high silica content might contribute to it's resonance

They sound like garbage because they're in a museum. The acoustics of that room is atrocious. Imagine that played in an open field or a cave.

@@Not_actually_a_commie DNA changes SO EASILY, and never looked promising to anyone without black UV proof cryo storage units. Glass breaks WAY TOO EASY. Neither look promising.

@@D-Vinko I don't know if synthetic DNA is subject to the same changes as the organic stuff. To my knowledge, mutations come from transcription errors, so we'd only have a problem if we tried to copy the DNA (and even then, in a controlled environment we may be able to either fix the error or start over). Glass is actually much more durable than you would think, and stone is much more fragile.

It's all about crystal, more specifically, quartz memory. I won't post a link incase it's scrubbed, but if one pastes the following into a search engine the article should come up: '...There might now be a more elegant solution after a team reports how they managed to cram 360TB worth of five-dimensional (5D) digital data onto a small quartz disk. The researchers claim the data is stable for as long as 13.8 billion years at temperatures up to 190 degrees Celsius.' 🤙🏻

@@AnaVerona_ you clearly never played with rocks, or pottery tiles, same ringing high pitched sound

Thats what i thought dude

She mentioned that they found small amounts of wear all over the rock, which wouldn’t have been the case if it were used to grind stuff, plus the wear pattern of a grinder is very different from hitting it like a drum, so they would’ve been able to tell if that was it’s purpose. Also, you don’t really need a rock that big in order to crack nuts or grind flower, the job can be done with much smaller and more transportable stones.

A lof of anthropology is an hoax.

I'm not trying to be a nitpick here dearies but it's Flour*

Obviously there's speculation here, but I think the position and wear pattern of the stones (vs known wheat grinding rocks) but it seems entirely reasonable that grinding stones led to drum stones once someone noticed the change in pitch.

It's well known, that these "experts" have come up with utterly ludicrous bullshit over the years, that have later been proved to be absolutely false. The general problem with people who start to study history or archeology as a major, is that their motivation is often politically biased to begin with, not objective desire for increasing knowledge. People who actually have actual desire for increasing knowledge as motivation, usually study an actual science instead. Anyone who disagrees with this: 1) Has never studied at a university for significant period of time 2) Is poor judge of character 3) Is part of the problem Or some combination of those 3 Blind belief in authority is willful ignorance.

So what you're saying is Libtards are full of shit, and they lie :P

How do you know someone's political affiliation? Also, liberals won the US Revolutionary War and Civil War, as well as WWII.

Using cliches is a way of avoiding thinking for yourself.

Erilaz could also try analysing "the general problem" with himself and others like him. "people who actually have actual desire...usually study an actual..." What????

I had a really shitty day today because of witnessing the incredible negativity and stupidity of people for multiple times today. Your comment cheered me up, reminded me of the other type of people out there. Thanks man.

This is not about taste it's about curiosity. That's how people have been indoctrinated by their governments, they don't think, they don't go beyond anything they just see a rock, they don't see our ancestors expressing themselves and the beginning of music. People are uneducated and when presented with something new they don't understand (or that doesnt have a touchscreen on it), instead of being CURIOUS about it they dismiss it as stupid and not worthy of their time. You only need to see how a kid would react to this and how an adult that has been through the "education" system does.

+Pedro “Dalannar” Marques That was a bit of a shame, however I did still get a sense for the method of play, and the ways in which sound variation were achieved, so the video certainly lived up to its name. That said, I would have liked to hear the instrument, if not in its natural habitat, in a habitat that allowed its sound to come through more authentically.

Are you a fan of Jean Auel's Earth's Children series? I don't recall any rock gongs from the books, but I would love to see how a mammoth skull drum was played. :)

@@charlesalexanderable look up rock gongs. There are videos of people playing these type of rocks. Those aren’t metal reverberation chambers, they’re just mounting frames. They sound like they do acoustically because they contain high iron content.

Diego R. Huh good question

It seems perfectly understandable for me. Just like people today claim that music sounds better on vinyl than on CD. But eventually leather drums would come out on top, because of their easy mobility.

If your ceremony calls for rock gongs, you use rock gongs, nor reason leather drums would win out since a ceremony does not need to be efficient. Keep in mind historical people might travel ridiculous distances to visit religious places. In france people would climb tje steps of mont sant michele on their knees and in tibet people will prostrate themselves for the full circuit of the Potala Palace and sometimes even the journey to and from the Potala Palace even.

A pilgrammage is all about the journey and making an effort. A ceremony on the other hand is a purely symbolic act and can (and will) be fitted for the situation.

JackhammerJesus that is a somewhat modern atitude, historically many people would have viewed the ritual al having very real importance. I should also point out that people still use rock gongs in some places so clearly leather drums did not completely replace them.

YOU TALK SHIT BOUT NICKELBACL???

Howdy Justice same

Good One *Cousteau voice*

The stigma against Nickelback comes from wanting to distance yourself from actually having enjoyed their music when you were younger. And now you want to appear older and having progressed away from what actually still sounds good to you though you don't want to admit it since they sound too emotional for your tastes. Sort of how you feel bad when you see something you did a long time ago because it was childish, you now feel bad for having enjoyed Nickelback since the tastes of today are much less emotional and more "hardcore". When hardcore is really just about not having any feelings at all.
