This used to be my shit back in the day. Me and my friend Admat-ili used to hotbox his dad's chariot to this music. When the war with Elam started, he got drafted, and we never met again...
At least Admat-ili had a fair shot with Ea-Nasir's patented copper swords and spearheads. Many Elamites surely died by Admat-ili's strength, and Ea-Nasir's quality goods!

Wonderfully played Michael! I was at moments in a real Trans, between the beautiful sounds, melodies, the visuals and tidbits of history details, felt like I was walking amongst the ancients. I especially appreciate this even more being an Assyrian. Very grateful for this, and definitely sharing. Continue the great work and contributions my friend. I can't wait to show this to my father, hes also a musical Artist. ✨️👏🔥
An honour for me to 'continue where the ancients left off' in creating new music for the recreated ancient lyre & in doing so, to celebrate all the wonderful diversity of musical culture around the world! Music is the only true ancient magic with the mystical power to unite all mankind as one...
Thank you for the mystical music. Although it has the effect of unleashing ancient and ungodly babylonian spells and conjurations, it's great for studying
Fear not! My tunes are not literal incantations to any specific scary primeval ancient gods...just as ancient historical novelists uses the magic of words to transport the reader to ancient times, I use the magic of music instead - like the works of a historical novelist, my tunes are all works of aesthetic fiction...not an attempt to 'wake the sleeping pantheon of ancient gods' fact! 😉
@@prettykitty5416 - of course they are 'real, actual tunes' - which I created! The Hurrian Hymn text h6 (a Hymn to Nikkal, goddess of the orchards) is the only substantial fragment of an actual Bronze Age Mesopotamian music to have survived in a form of Cuneiform musical notation - of which I have recorded several modern interpretations, which feature in this presentation.
@@twaffelzno? Mesopotamians weren’t the first humans, they were the first humans to settle. Caucasians come from when nomads settle in Europe, (Greece was the first), middle eastern came from Mesopotamia. Israeli’s came from Israel, northern Africans came from Egypt. Southern Asians came from India. Eastern Asians came from China, and south eastern Asians came from a mix of both. Humans were nomadic way before Mesopotamia was around. Mesopotamians were just the first to actually create villages, but people were still nomadic across the world
Is there any reference book which help me with learning about music of those age. As a persian this atmosphere is so familiar to me but I'm looking for forgotten parts of music in this area. Many thanks.

The type of lyre David himself once played almost certainly resembled this one. Even although this lyre is a replica of one found in Egypt & preserved in Leiden, this type of lyre is distinctively Canaanite & almost certainly was introduced to Egypt during the reign of the Canaanite Hyksos Kings. Just how early Israelite pottery is like a more simplified, rustic version of Cannanite pottery, probably King Savid's own lyre was also a simplified, more rustic version of these Canaanite lyres?
Sounds nice. Althought I'am a bit sceptical concerning the tuning. The music in this video sounds like it was played with an instrument tuned to a "Well Temperament", which was invented in Europe around 18-19th century, and was only widely adopted in "western music" after that. It is not likely at all that well tempered tuning was used in any instument in prehistory, nor in history before the 18th century.
The tuning is actually just intonation, with intervals in whole number ratios - it is the buzzy timbre of the lyre (a flat topped, grooveless bridge), not the musical intervals, which creates the 'fuzzy' timbre associated with equal temperament.
Much appreciated! Having no record company to do all my 'promo' stuff, I honestly rely on the support of anybody who likes my music, kindly sharing it to new, potentially receptive ears! Thanks once more

This music is from BCE (Before Christian Era) Christianity didn't exist for a long time, so Jesus had nothing to do with this masterpiece. God, undoubtedly. But Jesus, no.
Both - the last track on my album "Echoes of Ancient Mesopotamia & Canaan" is "Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal" - my arrangement of Dr Richard Dumbrill's new interpretation of the 3,400 old melody. The other tracks are historically inspired original compositions, but all performed on a replica of an actual surviving Canaanite-style lyre dating to circa 1,500 BC (the ancient Egyptian 'Leiden Lyre).
This particular lyre us probably as close as we can get to an approximation of what David's lyre looked & sounded like - instead of being based on ancient illustrations, this instrument is based on the proportions of an actual surviving Caananite style lyre found in Egypt & currently preserved in Leiden, dating to circa 1,500 BC - a style of lyre construction in the Middle East which endured in lyre design until about 1000 BC; the accepted traditional time frame of the life of King David. David would almost certainly have played something very similar, although his fabled lyre may have been presumably more 'rustic' if he had crafted it himself, instead of tainting his legend by purchasing it from Canaanite traders vack in his day!
Forms of musical notation pre-dating our Wesern stave system date back to circa 1400 BC! The oldest fragment of notated music so far discovered which can be interpreted is the Hurrian Hymn text h6 - names of lyre strings written in Cuneiform represented changes in musical intervals & like in today's Middle Eastern music, a diad of 2 notes represented a passage of notes between them. In ancient Egypt & Israel, cheironomy was used - a system of hand gestures represented specific changes in pitch. In ancient Greece, modified alphabetical symbols represented specific notes and intricate treaties on ancient Greek music theory survive, describing diatonic musical modes, Chromatic modes & microntonal enharmonic modes. 60 or so actual fragments of ancient Greek music survive, including one complete song, the 2000 year old "Song of Seikilos"...."While we live shine, bear no grief at all,for life lasts but a short while & death demands its toll"
