A 7000 year old instrument Has been discovered.

The ancient Rock Band…

Archeologist and doctor of prehistoric music Jean-Loup Ringot captured while playing the lithophone, a unique instrument of rocks and pieces of rock capable of producing musical notes from the vibration generated by the contact of objects.

The lithophone is a prehistoric instrument, played more than 7000 years ago, which is found throughout the African continent, as well as in South America, Australia, Azerbaijan, England, Hawaii, Iceland, India and many others places where our ancestors lived in the past. Therefore, it is not the property of a single culture, but a discovery of humanity, which in contact with nature, understands the musical properties of the rocks.

In addition to the lithophone, which produces notes from the contact of the rocks, modern instruments work in the same way but, of course, without using stones: the xylophone, the marimba, the glockenspiel, the gamelan and the vibraphone.
