These days ‘Sound and Light’ shows have become a very popular means of showcasing history. This is not so just in our country but all over the world too. The first such show ‘Son et Lumiere’ (French for Sound and Light) was established at the Chateau de Chambord in France in the year 1952. The invention of this concept is credited to Paul Robert-Houdin who was the then curator of that monument. The second such show was established in the year 1962 at the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
