History Photographed on Instagram: "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."
