The history of acoustics is deeply rooted in ancient civilizations, where the study of sound was not just a scientific endeavor but a spiritual and cultural one.
Egyptian priests, who were also musicians, used sound to balance the energetic centers of the human body. The Islamic mystical tradition, known as Sufism, calls the sound “Ghiza-I-ruh” (food for the soul) and uses it in a very varied way and with multiple applications to heal different ailments and restore the balance of the person. Music and dance are used to reach altered states of consciousness that allow you to contact the Supreme Being (Allah). Tibetan Buddhists claim that everything has its sound and that it depends on the state of being and the thing that produces sound. They claim that a sound teacher can give life or take it away, depending on how you use it.
…to the echoing halls of Egyptian temples, ancient sound technologies demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of how sound waves interact with architecture and the human body. While modern society often credits advancements in acoustics to contemporary science, ancient civilizations were already leveraging sound in surprisingly sophisticated ways.
These early innovations, grounded in both acoustics history and spiritual practice, continue to influence modern science.

Egyptian Temples and the Use of Sound in Healing: The Resonance of Health. The Temple of Hathor at Dendera: Sound as a Spiritual and Healing Tool
The Egyptians’ study of sound extended into the realm of healing, with temples like Hathor at Dendera built to enhance spiritual and medicinal practices. Temples like the Temple of Hathor at Dendera were constructed with specific acoustic properties to enhance spiritual and healing practices. The temple’s architectural design included chapels and niches that amplified chanting, singing, or musical instruments, creating an echo that filled the space. These resonances were not mere byproducts of architecture but were purposefully engineered to create a therapeutic and spiritual experience.
Egyptian healers often used sound as a form of medicine. The use of ancient sound technologies within these structures, such as the resonances created by chanting and musical instruments, demonstrates an intricate understanding of sound’s effect on the human body. This application of sound in healing practices is a key chapter in the history of acoustics. Instruments like the sistrum, a type of rattle used in religious ceremonies, were believed to create sounds that could realign the energy fields of a person’s body. The interplay of sound and healing in these temples underscores the Egyptians’ deep understanding of psychoacoustics—the psychological and physiological effects of sound.

Chavín de Huántar: Acoustic Design in the Andes
The Mysterious Soundscapes of Chavín de Huántar
constructed around 900 BCE, is one of the fascinating examples of the History of acoustic engineering in the Americas. The site is characterized by a labyrinth of underground tunnels and chambers, where sound plays a crucial role in religious and social rituals.
The most striking acoustic feature of Chavín de Huántar is the use of conch shell trumpets, known as pututus. These instruments, when played in the narrow stone passages, produce deep, resonant tones that can reverberate through the entire complex. The combination of the stone architecture and the pututus created a controlled acoustic environment where sound waves could be manipulated to produce echoes, amplifications, and distortions. This would have made religious ceremonies at Chavín an immersive and otherworldly experience, reinforcing the spiritual authority of the priests and the divine.

Indian Temple Acoustics: The Echo of Devotion
The Musical Pillars of Hampi: An Ancient Acoustic Phenomenon
The Vittala Temple in Hampi, Karnataka, is famous for its “musical pillars,” which emit distinct musical notes when struck. Carved from solid granite, each of these pillars was carefully designed to produce different notes, contributing to the sacred music performed during religious ceremonies. This phenomenon demonstrates the ancient Indians’ understanding of the acoustic properties of different materials and their ability to manipulate these properties to achieve desired auditory effects.
By examining these ancient technologies, we not only gain insights into the cultural and spiritual lives of our ancestors but also draw valuable lessons for modern acoustic engineering and sound therapy. As we continue to explore and rediscover these ancient innovations, we celebrate the enduring legacy of sound as a tool for healing, communication, and spiritual connection.
THE SECRET OF ANCIENT 110 HERTZ AND PUTUTU . These frequencies are obtained by whistling in Chavin de Huantar (Peru). (left) The same frequency also appeares in The Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum at Malta built 6,000 years ago and Chavin de Huantar was built 3500 years ago. Why shamans used the same frequency in different temples and different age?.
The question is why people go to sleep trance in 110 Hertz?. Because 110 Hertz deactivates speaking part in human brain and opens social behaviour and change temperament.
Conch shells have a long history of ritualistic use in a variety of cultures and religions : Buddhism, Hinduism (made the first sound in all creation, a sacred sound known as “aum.” , the conch shell represents the five elements–earth, water, fire, air and space ), Hawaiian cerimonies (an ancient race of tiny people called the Menehune once co-existed with Polynesians, who considered this tiny race to be godlike) .
In ancient times, the pu was sometimes used to accompany chants, and most often used to announce the beginning of a ceremony. There is a story of a group of Menehune, a legendary race of small Hawaiian people, who lived in Waolani in Nuuanu Valley on Oahu. https://www.aloha-hawaii.com/hawaii/conch-shells/ (Video with sound),
Pū, pronounced ‘poo’ is the Hawaiian Name for Conch Shell. A gift from the Ocean, the Pū comes out of the life giving waters with a sound that flows across the ‘Aina ( land ). Blowing the Pū is sometimes used before a ceremony to mark the official beginning.
Pū is a call to the divine. When it’s blown, how many times and in which directions all have a complex set of meanings. The meanings of the number of blows are so sacred that we do not reveal them in print : “because I let God blow through me“. https://hawaiianceremonies.com/pu_conch_blowing.php
…and also found in China, Greece, Rome. The conch shell was even part of the belief system of the ancient Mayans, who believed its spiral shape represented infinity.
Ancient believers in these practices have maintained that conch shells hold certain metaphysical properties. In fact, the conch shell is still viewed by adherents to various religions as having an array of distinctive spiritual qualities. https://classroom.synonym.com/symbolism-of-the-cobra-12081475.html

https://www.sanskritimagazine.com/religious-scientific-significance-of-a-conch-shankh/ Our Ancestors knew that when a Shankh is blown, its cosmic vibrations can cure diseases. Shankh or Shankham in sanskrit means “a conch holding the sacred water”. Earliest written documentation of Shankh can be traced back to Vedas and other Holy Hindu texts like Bhagwad Gita and Vishnu Purana. They are widely used in many Hindu rituals from bathing of a deity to the starting and ending of a holy ritual.
SOUND PHENOMENA INFLUENCED ANCIENT ART AND ARCHITECTURE. During a meeting of the Acoustical Society of America in Indianapolis October 27 – 31, 2014, Steven J. Waller of Rock Art Acoustics describes how prehistoric people may have interpreted sound phenomena as supernatural occurrences, and then reflected them in their culture as depicted on cave walls and in stone architecture.*
Other acoustical characteristics may have also been misinterpreted by ancient cultures unaware of sound wave theory. Waller noticed a resemblance between an interference pattern and Stonehenge, so he set up an interference pattern in an open field with just two flutes “droning the same note” to explore what it would sound like.
“The quiet regions of destructive sound wave cancellation, in which the high pressure from one flute cancelled the low pressure from the other flute, gave blindfolded subjects the illusion of a giant ring of rocks or ‘pillars’ casting acoustic shadows,” Waller says.
Healing with Sound in Ancient Temples : 111 Hz . Findings of MRI scans suggest that at exactly 111hz, the brain switches off the prefrontal cortex, deactivating the language centre, and temporary switches from left to right-sided dominance, that is responsible for intuition, creativity, holistic processing, inducing a state of meditation or a trance.
Further research directed by Prof. Robert Jahn has tested acoustic behaviour in megalithic sites in the UK, showing that they sustained a strong resonance at a sound frequency between 95 and 120 hertz.
John tells us: ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God’. Upanishads (a sacred Hindu text) say that the divine, all-encompassing consciousness first manifested as sound ‘OM’, the vibration of the Supreme. Everything has its own frequency. Pythagoras created his musical scale starting with a note A (just next to the middle C) that resonates at the frequency of 111Hz.
Acoustic levitation uses sound waves to hold objects in mid-air. We are all familiar with the power of sound to make us dance and change our moods, but sound can also exert a physical force that is strong enough to levitate objects. To harness this force, we use loudspeakers to form a sound pattern so that the object is surrounded by very loud sound.
Scientists have used these ideas to levitate small objects such as insects (!?), as well as extremely small objects like individual cells. They can then manipulate these objects, much like a robot would, but without any moving parts. So far, only relatively small levitating forces have been generated but, in theory, much higher forces could be produced and levitation of objects even the size of humans might be possible.
The vibrations travel through the air to our ears. The stronger the vibrations of the air molecules, the louder the sound. Sound waves carry forces, although these are usually too small to feel. An extreme version of this effect is an explosion. The explosive force is carried by a shock wave, which is a very high amplitude sound wave.
This tells us that sound waves can carry forces through the air and that these forces can be quite large. As you can imagine, these forces will act on any material, including living things. But how can we harness this force in a safe and controllable way?.
The mysteries and numerous capabilities of sound have intrigued mankind for millenniums. Einstein thought nothing was faster than the speed of light. But in 2007 a team of US physicists discovered that “superluminal acoustic sound waves” can actually out-perform light in speed and velocity under certain conditions. With that finding, the potential for sound-based technology became even more apparent.
Science has still not been able to figure out how to levitate larger heavier objects. Yet, history suggests the Ancient Egyptians might have already cracked this secret in their building of the pyramids and other megalithic monuments. Did they have some advanced form of sound levitation to move thousand ton stones—a task that present day builders admit would be difficult even with the use of modern cranes?.
It reminds me of the biblical stories of “trumpets” bringing down the walls of Jericho.
Nikola Tesla also talked about experiments he made with acoustic sound waves which started an earthquake in the building of his New York City laboratory. He recounted how the beams in the building started to shake as if their molecular structure was being affected. No doubt about it—sound is very powerful. But, does it have the ability to neutralize gravity?
Scientists who have experimented with the gravity-conquering force known as levity have done so through means of achieving a coherence by which some of the atoms begin to cross the light-speed boundary. This propulsion causes a levitation effect and is likely the technology behind UFOs. Levitation propelled craft may also be the transportation of the future, relying on cooling, sustainable implosion technology, rather than the explosive fossil-fuel dependent engines of today.
As for the sound-based levitation method of the Tibetans, a similar theory of sonic levity was developed in the United States by a man named John Worrell Keely called Sympathetic Vibratory Physics. In his work, he outlines the forces of torsion emanating from the fabric of all reality – a dynamic interaction between two forces. Gravity or “tractor” force, which moves inward towards the center of a single atomic point, and levity or “pressor” force, which emanated from the core of the neutral center, which, in theory, could be the place where levitation becomes possible.
What would our world look like if society integrated the lifestyle of the mystics? Whether intentionally induced or purely accidental, the cases of human levitation powers are mounting. There is so much about life and our bodies that we have yet to understand, but maybe we do have hidden superpowers locked inside us, waiting to be activated.
Saint Teresa of Avila
One of the most famous mystic accounts of human levitation comes from the 1500s when a devoted Roman Catholic nun, named Teresa, received a series of spontaneous, rapturous visions. Eyewitnesses claim to have seen her hovering a foot and a half above the ground for nearly a half-hour. According to the Saint, she was not in control of these episodes, and because of this, they were a little frightening to her.
“It seemed to me when I tried to make some resistance as if a great force beneath my feet lifted me up. I know of nothing with which to compare it, but it was much more violent than other spiritual visitations, and I was therefore as one ground to pieces.” – St. Teresa
Tibet is home to another mystic culture, with many cases of levitating Buddhist monks, including the great Milarepa. During the 13th century, Milarepa was noted as being able to perform many miracles, including the ability to both walk and sleep while levitating. Apparently, the Tibetans are capable of also causing the material surrounding them to float. There are modern accounts where massive blocks of stone, were made to gently drift in the air through sound vibration alone, utilizing a technique called Tibetan Acoustic Levitation.
How Tibetan Monks Used Acoustic Sound to Levitate Stones
The world today has fully leveraged the power of Artificial intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and other technologies the try and levitate objects both big and small. Apparently, for centuries, there has been a way of levitating objects that was discovered by the Tibetan monks many years ago. The method is acoustic levitation. The acoustic levitation is an application of sound technology to levitate objects. The method was used to levitate small objects, but later, as a Swedish doctor, Dr. Jarl found out, it can be used to levitate large rocks too.
One of the most awe-inspiring feats associated with yogic mastery is levitation. The yogic texts refer to this ability as ‘Laghima Siddhi,’ which allows a yogi to become lighter than air and float or levitate. While modern skepticism questions its existence, numerous historical accounts and yogic lore celebrate saints and yogis who have attained such capabilities through intense meditation and pranayama (breath control practices). Beyond the spectacle, levitation symbolizes the yogi’s transcendence over the material bounds, reaching a state of lightness in spirit and body.
https://www.soulschoolyoga.com/blog/the-super-powers-of-a-yogi-unveiling-the-mystical-skills-through-yoga Classic yoga texts, such as Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, written about two thousand years ago, tell us in matter- of-fact terms that if you sit quietly, pay close attention to your mind, and practice this diligently, then you will gain supernormal powers. These advanced capacities, known as siddhis, are not regarded as magical; they’re ordinary capacities that everyone possesses. We’re just too distracted most of the time to be able to access them reliably.
The sage Patanjali also tells us that these siddhis can be attained by ingesting certain drugs, through contemplation of sacred symbols, repetition of mantras, ascetic practices, or through a fortuitous birth.
In the yogic tradition, powers gained through use of mantras, amulets, or drugs are not regarded with as much respect, or considered to be as permanent, as those earned through dedicated meditative practice. The promise of these siddhi superpowers has little to do with traditional religious faith, divine intervention, or supernatural miracles. As Buddhist scholar Alan Wallace says,
“In Buddhism, these are not miracles in the sense of being supernatural events, any more than the discovery and amazing uses of lasers are miraculous— however they may appear to those ignorant of the nature and potentials of light. Such contemplatives claim to have realized the nature and potentials of consciousness far beyond anything known in contemporary science. What may appear supernatural to a scientist or a layperson may seem perfectly natural to an advanced contemplative, much as certain technological advances may appear miraculous to a contemplative.”
——————————————–
The sound encompasses a wide range of frequencies that the human ear cannot perceive. Every particle in the Universe vibrates at a certain frequency, therefore it is a form of sound. What we perceive as solid, liquid or gaseous, is nothing more than the same matter vibrating at different frequencies.
Sound is a high frequency of vibration compared to the human body, this means that the human body is a vibration or sound – condensed – that is, vibrating at a much lower frequency, so sound directly affects matter. This includes our physical body. If the whole universe is sound vibrating at different frequencies, the higher frequencies have a tremendous influence on matter. An example of this is the voice of an opera singer who, by suing her at the same frequency of glass, causes it to break.
According to physics, two equal frequencies are overrided. Another example is how the sound of planes can affect buildings near an airport, breaking window glass and creating cracks in the walls of houses.
According to the Bible, the ancient Israelites knew very well the power of sound. The story tells that during the siege of Jericho, the priests issued a loud sound with a kind of trumpet, which caused the city’s walls to collapse. Evidently, priests must have known the frequency at which the molecules of the walls vibrated and created a sound of an identical frequency. This is similar to the exercise of breaking glass cups by voice…
In the Hindu tradition – which is of a tradition older than the Judeo-Christian-the Vedas, his most sacred book says the following:
And at first it was Brahma, with whom the word was, and it was the sound (mantra) OM the means by which the universe was created.
Hinduism speaks of the power of sacred mantras or words, whose repetition (frequency) can alter people’s state of consciousness, and even generate physical changes such as healings and miracles.
Sound has been widely used in all ancient cultures as a means of communicating with the Higher Self and for healing; from Australia to South, Central and North America sound has been a source of mystical and religious study.
Sound is the underlying vibration factory that creates the patterns of light we see around us. With the sounds, therefore, we can rearrange this surrounding reality.
As the vibrations rise from 3D to 5D and above, a true energetic revolution happens without our physical eyes being able to see. At both the individual and collective levels; both in the hominal kingdom and in the others. Whether animal, vegetable or mineral, everything fits according to the energies of the New Earth.
At the individual level, two major changes occur simultaneously: the first and most important, is given to the level of consciousness. The second is in relation to the physical human bodies.
At the level of consciousness, we have all the facilities to provoke the awakening and go beyond the veil. This process broadens our vision and understanding of who we are, where we came from, why we are here and where we should go. The elevation of consciousness is the first step to understand all other movements and also to make such energetic adjustments more smoother.
Going through this metamorphosis can be light and soft or painful and painful, depends on the understanding and the way changes are resisted. Most of the pains felt in this transformation are brought about by the resistance that each one has to change. The more you resist, the more the knot tighten!
The Earth is also a living being, breathing, pulsating and transforming. She also has a conscience. And this consciousness now rises to the higher dimensions. It is so much change that, information is already coming from the Angelic Guardians, saying that the intensity of photonic Light will be so much, that it will transform our Planet into a Super Nova, that is, a Star in formation. Perhaps giving us the understanding of how everything transforms in this Universe: the Moons turning into Planets; Planets in Stars and Stars in Suns.
