The bullroarer,
rhombus
, or
turndun
, is an ancient ritual musical instrument and a device historically used for communicating over greatly extended distances. It dates to the Paleolithic period,
being found in Ukraine
dating from 17,000 BC. Anthropologist Michael Boyd, a Bullroarer expert, documents a number found in Europe, Asia, the Indian sub-continent, Africa, the Americas, and Australia.
In ancient Greece it was a sacred instrument used in the Dionysian Mysteries and is still used in rituals worldwide.
Along with the dideridoo, it was a prominent musical technology among the Australian Aborigines, used in ceremonies across the continent.
