Young faggots living in their mothers wine-cellars. Racist, sexist and misogynist, etc.

Sargon of Akkad

They literally read the story to the walls of Uruk, so they would know where they came from and remain strong.

Well considering that in those times only the priest, scribes, and elite could read probably them

>>1802472
Whoever would pay him a few coins to recite it probably.

What the fuck, is this legit

It might be. After all, we have no idea what Sumerian actually sounded like. This could be the best rendition of it since it was written... or a bunch of babble that Sumerians would just stop to try and figure out rather than enjoy.

It's funny how such an old song is about older times though

Peter Pringle is his name. He rarely claims that his songs are 100% accurate. He just likes to build the instrument necessary for the song and sing the lyrics according to what he imagines. Fun to listen to and not a bad basis... but probably not the 100% authentic thing
