Earlier this month I shared with you a video I came across of ancient Sumerian music.  This time I’ve got some really beautiful ancient Mesopotamian music for you!

From what I’ve read, this is considered by some people, at least, to be the oldest song we know of!  It is called Hurrian Hymn No. 6 which was being enjoyed by folks way back in 1400 BC!  This is really well-done and sounds just beautiful. The instrument being played is a lyre, which I know a lot of you are seeing mentioned in your ancient history studies!  Now you and your kiddos can know what it sounds like. 🙂
