We can also look at native American oral history where they discuss the fact there was a point in time where the moon was not present.
Just because someone looks cool in eagle feathers doesn't mean they aren't talking crap.
Creation myths are just that, myths, and "a time before the moon" is as nice a way as any of saying 'like, ages ago'.
funny 'cause the a priori assumptions in that statement make the conclusion ironic
occams razor says the ancients were telling it like it is
So, ants. crows, spiders and coyotes can talk?

For the love of all that is holy. Sound doesn't travel in space, therefore the moon could not possibly ring!!!!!!!
In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as a typically audible mechanical wave of pressure and displacement, through a medium such as air or water. In physiology and psychology, sound is the reception of such waves and their perception by the brain.[1]
Sound can propagate through compressible media such as air, water and solids as longitudinal waves and also as a transverse waves in solids

pretty much, it's called communication [ex ants use pheromones]
you think crows and coyotes when acting like a coordinated group aren't communicating?

also humans being able to "speak" with animals is a common result of shamanic initiations, usualy in ther form of learning a new language.

a ringing vibration could be picked by astronauts through their contact with the ground.

Unfortunately we don't hear with our feet.

Maybe, but do you think they are telling stories of ancient times?

I believe you've not read much native American mythology.
Also, you would have a hard time communicating some of these stories through pheromones.

In many comic books, words that would be foreign to the narration but are displayed in translation for the reader are surrounded by angle brackets or chevrons .
Gilbert Hernandez's series about Palomar is written in English, but supposed to take place mainly in a Hispanic country. Thus, what's supposed to be representations of Spanish speech is written without brackets, but occasional actual English speech is written within brackets, to indicate that it is unintelligible to the main Hispanophone characters in the series.
Some comics will have the actual foreign language in the speech balloon, with the translation as a footnote; this is done with Latin aphorisms in Asterix.
Another convention is to put the foreign speech in a distinctive lettering style; for example, Asterix's Goths speak in blackletter.
Since the Japanese language uses two writing directionalities (vertical, which is the traditional direction; and horizontal, as most other languages), manga has a convention of representing translated foreign speech as horizontal text.

why are you twisting what i'm saying?
you've never felt a train or other approaching heavy vehicle before you saw it?
so if you don't use your ears it's not sound then?
sound IS vibration one could even say its the first of the senses.

Seriously, the way some people are attempting to "debunk" the so called ringing one would think you were actually there manning the experiment.
you weren't...

And the way some people use the qoute "rang like a bell" to try to insinuate the moon is hollow is quite pathetic.
Take a solid metal or rock sphere and hit it with a hammer. It will resonate. Like a bell.
Now stop being ignorant.

If an astronaut was standing next to the seismometer, he almost certainly would not have heard any sound being produced by the vibration (although that's a moot point, because there were no astronauts on the Moon at the time), just like seismographs on Earth may be registering vibrations that cannot he heard.

... The "ring" of the moon went on much, much longer than a solid core should have allowed for....
On Earth, vibrations from quakes usually die away in only half a minute. The reason has to do with chemical weathering, Neal explains: "Water weakens stone, expanding the structure of different minerals. When energy propagates across such a compressible structure, it acts like a foam sponge--it deadens the vibrations." Even the biggest earthquakes stop shaking in less than 2 minutes.
The moon, however, is dry, cool and mostly rigid, like a chunk of stone or iron. So moonquakes set it vibrating like a tuning fork. Even if a moonquake isn't intense, "it just keeps going and going," Neal says. And for a lunar habitat, that persistence could be more significant than a moonquake's magnitude.
