3. Discussions & Concluding Remarks Our observation has given conjecture that it is possible that the stone-age civilization has already a musical tradition. This is obvious since while we see the cognitive development of human being evolves gradually, there should be a phase between the time of screaming and Sumerian harps and lyres or the Chinese bonewhistling where the civilization produce music by simpler instruments. Our findings in this megalithic sites might lead us to an interesting candidate for this: the made-of-stone musical instruments. to the sizes of the ancient musical Regarding instruments, it is interesting to propose that there should be a team as a scenario play them. This is apparently interesting as we could see an aesthetic based working team in the stone age. A lot of more conjectures that might enrich our understanding is awaited for further observation at the site.
