It can not be proven that these aspects were intentional; but then again by what authority can it be stated that they were not intentional? As with all theories we need a body of accumulating evidence to support the notion that auditory elements played a contributing role to human experiences at prehistoric sites.


We can't deny the existence of any sensual element at any monument from any period , that is a given . It doesn't mean that a seaside location was chosen for it's smell , or a cave was chosen because there was an echo . They are to be expected .
Everywhere has a soundscape that can be quantified ,sometimes it is remarkable . When it applies to a building it makes sense to consider the likelihood of intention , if the shape of a building is that of a helmholtz resonator it doesn't mean that was the reason for the shape ,there are far more obvious reasons for the design .
