TIL the world's oldest voice recording is from 1860 by a person born in the 18th century

Call me a tin foil dumbass but i'm always skeptical about these things. How can we be sure it's really from 1860 and not just a well-crafted hoax? It's cool if it's legit, but part of me thinks that with so many fakes out there, you can't take this stuff at face value.

Weird thing is, hearing the volces of people bom centuries ago will soon become commonplace. We're in a oddly privileged position to find something like this unusual and fascinating.
