Damn, I thought this was going to be about Pink Floyd! ;-)
I remember seeing something about this right at the very end of a history
programme of some sort on UK TV when I was a child -- probably mid to late 80s.
I'm not sure where the pots were from, it might have been Egypt, but the
principle is the same. I have a doubt at the back of my mind, though, that it
might have been a programme by a non-reputable "historian" (a von Daniken type)
rather than a bone fide historian.

Subject: audio recording from - ancient Pompeii !!!
French archaeologists have taken pottery from ancient Pompeii and
played the grooves back like a record to get the sounds of the
pottery workshop, including laughter. Click "Telecharger la video" to
play the short video which contains a sample of the audio.

I can't understand a word of it, can someone fluent in French tell me
whether this seems legit?
