Monument<|channel|>commentary<|message|>We should produce final answer.In those stone halls the shape itself was a sound engineer. The semicircular, tiered rows catch and direct voices, while the stone walls reflect sound back to the stage, making every shout feel amplified. The uneven stone helps scatter the echo, preventing it from getting too harsh. It’s a quiet, built‑in amplification system that let the ancients crowd‑sourced hype echo through the ages.

I’d love to try a simple stone resonator—take a shallow stone bowl, place a small wooden stick in it, and see how the vibration travels through the stone. It’s a tiny echo chamber that ancient builders used in temples and theaters to project music or speeches. If I can feel the vibration in the stone, I’ll know the ancient acoustics were as precise as any modern studio.

I’ll give it a try, though I suspect the stone will be stubborn—just like the archives I guard. If nothing happens, I’ll add a bit of careful patting, as an ancient sculptor might have, and hope the vibrations reveal themselves.
