From the site:
Did you know that the basic scale in music today comes from Arabic syllables do, re, mi, fa, sol, la and ti? The Arabic alphabet for these notes is Dal-Ra-Mim-Fa-Sad-Lam-Sin.
and blatantly false. The Solfeggio system was created about the 100 by Guido De Arrezo and the syllables from from a hymn called 'Ut queant laxis'. That other cultures used other syllables for other notes has nothing to do with the system still in use today.
