| The Family Ehekachiktli - The Dead Whistle Family -Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:56:01 -0800 by 21cascas21Spectral sonorous analysis of experimental models.The execution of experimental organology exercises are not known in the traditional Archeology, because the analysis using physical replicas and mathematical models are not used, which are used in the design and evaluation process of engineering and scientific investigations. Neither has been of interest to explore the ancient acoustical attributes, because not a single aerophone rescued and stored in national museums has ever been to travel to a good laboratory with metrology equipment nor to other places where they could be played in the past to analyze their sonorous properties in controlled situation or in ancient spaces and contexts. The author's experimental models have done so, at times finding administration difficulties, because guards say that "it is not permitted to play musical instruments in the archaeological sites". It occurred to some administrators of the ancient national patrimony to reinstall this prohibition initially imposed during the conquest and colonization by others who also depreciate the Mexican sonorous artifacts and their sounds.As it has not been possible to have access to the sonorous artifacts in museums and collections the analysis can only be done using experimental models. With experimental models it has been proved that the basic operation of these aerophones is very simple, because they have an air duct, but they can produce complex sounds if the input air flow is complex. Some of then have tonal holes, but their fundamental F0 operation is altered a very little. Greater alteration comes with greater input air and pressure or by forming another resonator with the hands around the resonator tube output, changing its size and output aperture.There is no use in applying views of musical analysis to these sonorous artifacts, because their sounds are not musical in the modern occidental sense, even if some investigators have tried to apply musical concepts to these sounds like when they say that they are tuned to a certain musical note and that their scales are very rudimentary. It only take to see the face expression of an actual musician when he listen to see how far they are with their imported modern mentality and musical uses.It has been mentioned that the sounds of those aerophones can be guttural and is for that reason that they have been compared with the modern reed interments, but no signal analysis has been provided to show this similarity. It appears the performed studies have been only by ear without using acoustical tools or signal analysis. It is not intended to underestimate our aural system. A well trained ear is excellent to analyze audible sounds in a very wide band of frequencies an amplitudes, but the musical language is poor in describing complex sounds like those produced by the artifacts in our case and of some ancient musical instruments.

| False claim Hindu nameWed, 19 Nov 2008 16:15:28 -0800 by PolitacticFirst let me set the record straight: Aryan Invasion is a MYTH. I know that, however the origin of the word "Hindu" is also a myth. The word "Hindu" is was and always will be a non-Sanskrit term. The only ways to prove otherwise is to go back in time and ask Sri Ram or Sri Krishan - Are you a "Hindu"?; and if they answer "YES" then it definitely will be accepted as a Sanskrit term. Some experts might say that Sri Ram and Sri Krishan did not exist, well then go back in time and ask Sri Gautam Buddha or even King Asoka!Dr. Murlidhar Hakumatrai Pahoja wrote a paper claiming Vedic connections to the word "Hindu". Similar claims have been made by others sometimes using exact verses, however referencing different texts. None of the verses or in some cases the texts itself are not found anywhere. Perhaps Dr. Murlidhar Hakumatrai Pahoja should concentrate on his middle name and try to first find out whether or not it is of Sanskrit origin.Dr. Murlidhar Hakumatrai Pahoja is neither an Archeologist nor a Historian nor an expert in the Sanskrit scriptures. Dr. Murlidhar Hakumatrai Pahoja also claims that he is retired IT Professional with doctorate in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from the University of Illinois, USA.
