This is one of the oldest songs ever discovered, known as the Hurrian Hymn No. 6. It was found on a clay tablet in the ancient Syrian city of Ugarit, dating back over 3,400 years to around 1400 B.C. Written in the Hurrian language, the tablet contains both lyrics and musical notation intended for a nine-string lyre. The hymn was dedicated to Nikkal, the goddess of orchards, and is considered the oldest nearly complete piece of written music ever found. | History In Pictures
