>You mean they really didn't blow down 40 foot high, 20 feet thick walls
with a musical instrument? Pshawww.
Late in WWII the Nazis developed an infrasonic cannon that could, in
theory, knock a bomber out of the sky with it's shock wave. Unfortunately
for them, it was too big to transport, or even to aim. The principals
involved were well within the capabilities of ancient technologists.
It's more likely the story recounts a clever use of camouflage and
diversion. Sappers could have tunneled under the wall and at a given
moment torched the shoring, causing the gallery to collapse and the wall
above with it. This was a common siege technique for millennia. Trouble
was, picks and shovels are noisy. When the besieged forces heard you
coming they estimated your position by trianglation and struck
interception tunnels. Upon breaking through they killed the sappers and
withdrew, collapsing their tunnel behind them. It could be that the 24/7
horn blowing was to divert attention from, and cover up the sound of, a
final burst of sapping just prior to a decisive assault. Perhaps future
archeology will discover the traces of such an event. Once uncovered, they
would be obvious. They would also be easy to date.

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
