How about this one to blow your mind further:

This urn from 1552.

Because of how it was made, they could play back the sounds around the potter who fabricated it.

I thought they had done the same with some Roman parchment, but all I can find are links to stories on that one.

Interesting, but I think this is largely discredited from the brief research I did?

Cool idea nonetheless.

Doesn't really discredit it based on that, but thanks for the article

That's a lot of screaming!

Actually this is one of the coolest things I have ever seen or heard, thank you!

Someone playing a recorder or flute like instrument?

Or some one was being tortured.
