There’s a 3,500-year-old song.

“Hurrian Hymn No. 6,” the music, inscribed in cuneiform on clay tablets, were excavated from the ancient city of Ugarit (in today’s northern Syria), dating back to 1400 B.C. You can actually listen to the tune, performed on lyre, by composer Michael Levy. It’s not exactly Top 40 material, but still an interesting listen.
