This is neat!


What did ancient Babylonian songs sound like? Something like this?

Beautiful voice.

But, as with the Arlo Guthrie line in the song Alice's Restaurant - "Didn't understand, a word that she said........." :D


Beautiful nonetheless.......

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet most ancient Babylonian songs didn't sound like this

Seems I heard about some ancient musical group or whatever-?

I wanna say it was the Babylon 5? No, wait, that was a SciFi series.
