ventilopomme,
Je suis sur les mêmes pistes, j'ai visité toutes ces pages en début d'après-midi, mais j'ai pas plus d'information.
J'ai pas réussi à me procurer l'article de Kleiner et Åström. Et de toute façon, l'article n'aurait eu qu'un apport limité.
Rien ne vaut un enregistrement audio, même si c'est une vaste blague
(http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/langu...es/002875.html)The link to the video got passed around online quite a bit, even showing up on the moderated Linguist List. The possibility of hearing voices from 6,500 years ago would obviously be an unprecedented breakthrough in the study of ancient languages. Unfortunately, the whole thing is a hoax, as acknowledged by the clip's creator, Bilge Sehir. On Sehir's website the video is described under the title "Poisson d'avril de journal televise" ("April Fool's Day newscast"), indicating that the story was concocted last year for Belgian television as an April Fool's prank. Sehir is a videographer who evidently came up with the stunt as an art project of sorts (an apparent accomplice is Phillipe Delaite, an art historian at the Liège Royal Academy of Fine Arts who poses in the video as a pipe-smoking archaeologist).
Reste que le sujet est extrêmement intéressant!
