Aztec Whistles Of Death
by Stefanie at 2:39 pm EDT, Jun 30, 2008 |
MEXICO CITY — Scientists were fascinated by the ghostly find: a human skeleton buried in an Aztec temple with a clay, skull-shaped whistle in each bony hand. But no one blew into the noisemakers for nearly 15 years. When someone finally did, the shrill, windy screech made the spine tingle. If death had a sound, this was it.
Sweet! On another site, I found the MP3 file of the whistles being played, by archaeologists, I assume. [Not Safe For Life] |

Sounds like just any old tenpenny whistle being played by a halfwit to me. Some people are just a wee bit melodramatic in their reporting. |

I suppose death lies in the skeletal hand of the beholder. |
