[Music] 6 of 6 Just some pagan music I don't believe I have posted before. For samhain

This last is a special one, since it's the oldest piece of music known to exist. It's truly pagan at that, being dated from the Hurrian period of 1,400 BCE.

It as well has roots well into the sumerian culture which was around 3,000 BCE.

I'm giving four different versions, only the last having lyrics. Each is an interpretation. No one knows just what this moon goddess song was like!
