It can be a good question to ask: How could someone speak to the people in the large Imam mosque of Isfahan?
It has a simple answer, there is a black square under the dome of the mosque, if you stand there and produce a sound, this sound will echo loudly seven times throughout the whole mosque, this man explains it in Persian: [TUBE]KrA6GBJAzjs[/TUBE] -------------

Impressive. Before clocks were widely availably Muslims needed an effective way of being called to prayer, especially in the big cities
