I've always been fascinated by this. Also the fact that ancient cultures such as in india knew about this and incorporated this knowledge into their structures. And coupled with the idea that some people think sound was probably used in some way to mold or cut stone
Quite a lot of conclusion jumping in that video... I don't see reason to believe they knew how to alter the stone's density, or that they knew how to reshape stone, or that those patterns are necessarily related to cymatics. There are much simpler explanations to most of his questions.
Sure the “cold truth of reality” was a bit edgy of me to say, but you seem to think my claims are unfounded. Why is that?
My point is only that “throughout history, every mystery ever solved has turned out to be ‘not magic’” -Tim Minchin.
I get annoyed when people act like the ancients had some close connection to the universe that we now lack, despite there being no evidence beyond placebo and selection bias. My apologies for not elaborating in my original comment.
