Oracle Chamber in Malta's Hypogeum Deliberate Prehistoric Sound Amplifier?	The Oracle Stone at Delphi Listening at the Navel of the Earth?	The Shofar Ritual wake up call?	Human brain stimulated by sound at 110 hz	Newgrange, Ireland A megalithic Sound Chamber?
Extract from the May 1920 edition of National Geographic Magazine, describing the "Oracle Chamber" of Malta's Hal Saflieni Hypogeum, ca. 3,300 BCE: "A word spoken in this room is magnified a hundredfold and is audible throughout the entire structure.  The effect upon the credulous can be imagined when the oracle spoke and the words came thundering forth through the dark and mysterious place with terrifying impressiveness."
