Listen for free: Be amazed at these ancient Sumerian songs

January 8, 2015 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Sumer is the original “land of the civilized kings” and was one of the first ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia. The god of beneficence, Enki, is Sumerian, as if Enlil the lord of ghost-land, Sin the moon god and even An who was the god of heaven.

Now musician Stef Conner learned how to read and pronounce several ancient Babylonian and Sumerian records to re-create their sounds. This is both art and science. The Soundcloud embed above lets you listen to the results and you’ll be amazed at how it sounds.

What do you think? You’ve heard ancient Sumerian songs recreated from original records. Are you a fan? Have you taken any empowerment away from this music?

If you want to get back into music yourself then sites like can be a helpful starting place.
