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?
Well, there is doubt.

The video mentions a university in Cheratte (Belgium) but I couldn't
find any web site.
