Oldest song we know of, and it's not exactly banging rocks together. Makes one wonder what other wonderous music and lyrics have been lost to us, never to be heard again.
It takes a very long time at a high level of civilisation to produce that.. And our civilisation is supposed to only be 6-8 thousand years old from pre agriculture?
(or woman). Being nitpicky, the city this tablet was found in was destroyed around 1200 bce, and the tablet was found in the 1950s. so it literally hasn't been played for 3000 years... and that's what makes it all the more amazing. But that they wrote it down so we *can* play a version if it 3500 year later is just mind-blowing
@Straight brown Male this is the oldest song that was written down basically. They found ancient tablets that had lyrics on them and also the melody of the song. After some interpreting they knew what notes to play but it wasn’t clear what tuning the instrument should be in or how long some of the notes were meant to be played for so they had to get creative
I was born and riesed in Ugarit. Itś Pleasure to hear this piece pf art again from you. I feel the soul of My Granddad, who worked for years with the frensh archaeologist Prof. Cloude Shaeffer, would be happy and pleased in his grave.
It used to be more refined than they would have you believe. You can still hear it played in the authentic version that was first heard by man long before they say it was even created, travel to sacred subterranean shrines and wait for the musicians to come play the songs they carry down through their families as a sort of legacy.
Sung by people who have long since turned to dust, their names unknown... forgotten through the drift of time except for this song that once slid of the edges of their lips. As in thousands of years we will also be forgotten.

Thank you Mr Pringe for recreating this piece of music. I live in Turkey and I can clearly say that it is very similar to Turkish, Persian, Armenian and Arabic ethnic music. It is astonishing to hear how the Hurrians, a civilization that lived 3500 years ago, used the same melodies and emotions we use today. After listening to this, I can clearly say that we humans do not create the melodies. Geography itself creates the music. We just listen and play.
I'm surprised if he hasn't studied Mesopotamian music and allowed it to influence his interpretation. I'm a big fan of Mesopotamian, Turkish and other music in the region and I agree that there is a similarity.
I even ponder if he (his soul) lived in the past long ago and sang the music then , today this thought has been taken from the mind of most. We do live in end times just look around and at the sky and all the events that surround. @@Uttrediay

If it is a close copy of the original, I won't worry about details, this version is very moving and enjoyable. I can imagine those women of old Syria sitting out under the peach-coloured moon singing this song quietly and praying for healthy happy children and blessings on the mothers with her gift of sesame oil.
