A lot of sounds we consider electronic effects for music were created with analog methods before computers were ubiquitous.

Apparently not, someone posted a link under the same parent. It’s pretty interesting actually. Although I have questions about how the string is attached to his mouth?

TFW native Vietnamese only found out about this on a foreign website instead of official national news :/

Right??? What's worse is that it took foreign researchers to find out that they were instruments. Like where are all the Viet archeologists and what are they doing?

Most museums have thousands or even hundreds of thousands of artifacts and only a handful of people looking after them and researching them. Unless someone get intrigued by one particular object it could sit unstudied for decades or centuries.

I can't believe how slow the pace of archaeological publication is... They were excavated 25 years ago, reanalysed in 2012 and 2016, and those findings took 7–11 years to be published.

That is quite common. Just in the last decade there was a journal pushing for more of the Dead Sea Scrolls to get published.

It's just so sad at how little a single archeologist can do in their careers, and like everyone they only get one life. Added onto that the dwindling number of jobs in the field... How is archeology going to survive if it takes a decade to get "yeah this deer antler is an instrument" published?

Thanks, my question was what is the bottle neck in getting research published.

Its not free, cost a lot. Why? dont know, the publishers ask for a lot of money even on digital journals.

The people who make peer review dont get any money for that review.

So who know why is so expensive? greedy.

Wait, you're saying that even decent archeology journals are pay-to-publish?

If this is from Southern Vietnam, it is likely not a Viet relic, more like Indian or Polynesian.

20 generations? Buddy you are failing at basic math.

The instrument in the OP is of historical interest relating to a particular culture. Instruments from halfway around the world have little to do with it.

I honestly don’t understand what this comment is supposed to mean, or how it relates to anything else you said.

But I see that you’ve added a ridiculous spelling mistake to your egregious math error. And I’m supposed to believe that the guy who can’t divide or spell is some expert on the historical value of preserved artifacts?
