YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOne day, I was trying to write my dissertation while sitting in my room in east Jerusalem. I was writing about ancient soundscapes...how the lack of ambient sounds in ancient cities would have made conversation and religious chants audible from over 100 feet away. Then a traffic jam happened outside my window. It was very loud. So I made this video.
(The ancient city you see in some of these clips comes from the city of Hippos, a Roman city in the Galilee).
