THE NATIONAL ANTHEM OF HURRIANS (THE FIRST HYMN 3400 YEAR OLD).wmv

studio quality recording of “Hurrian Hymn no.6“ can be heard on my album, “An Ancient Lyre“: This unique video, features my arrangement for solo lyre, of the 3400 year old “Hurrian Hymn no.6“, which was discovered in Ugarit in Syria in the early 1950s, and was preserved for 3400 years on a clay tablet, written in the Cuniform text of the ancient Hurrian language - it is THE oldest written song yet known! Respect, to the amazing ancient culture of Syria...السلام عليكم It is played here, on a replica of the ancient Kinnor Lyre from neighbouring Israel; an instrument almost tonally identical to the wooden asymmetric-shaped lyres played throughout the Middle East at this amazingly distant the Pharaoh’s still ruled ancient Egypt. A photograph of the actual clay tablet on which the Hurrian Hymn was inscribed, can be seen here: http://
