Musicians unlock mystery melody in Scottish chapel

Stuart Mitchell said he and his father were intrigued by 13 intricately carved angel musicians on the arches of the chapel and by 213 carved cubes depicting geometric-type patterns.

"They are of such exquisite detail and so beautiful that we thought there must be a message here," he told Reuters.

Years of research led the Mitchells to an ancient musical system called cymatics, or Chladni patterns, which are formed by sound waves at specific pitches.

And here in the US - 15 years from now someone will find this inscription on the concrete of Marty Haugen's patio.

Mass of Creation Rules!
