5 Ancient Structures with Amazing Acoustics

The video explores the acoustic properties of ancient structures like the Epidaurus theater, Chichen Itza's El Castillo Pyramid, Stonehenge, Chavin de Huantar, and the Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni. These sites demonstrate unique sound phenomena, such as sound amplification, diffraction, and resonance, which may have been intentionally designed for specific acoustic effects.
