The Oldest (Known) Song of All Time

The Hurrian Hymn is History’s first Song. Well, the oldest known song. If we’re really splitting hairs: the earliest written song that can be reconstructed. We’re not even sure what the song even sounds like, but each attempt to decode has its own value. All we are sure about is that the Hurrian Hymn is really, really ancient and nothing is as clear as it seems. *Note that the Hymn was not written in 1600BCE (my mistake), but probably around 1400BCE. Plus, the image I use of the goddess Nikkal is actually the goddess Asherah. There were no pictures of Nikkal, she’s a bit too obscure it seems. Okay, my errors out the way, I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for 100 subscribers!
