I find ancient music to be beautiful in its simplicity. Who were the most cultured musically speaking?

I believe they just had the stories written in cuneiorm. The musical interpretation was left to the artist who then passed it down and so on.
By the time the notation was formed ages had passed since these songs were first performed

So we really have no idea what the song sounded like when it was written?

When did people start writing down music notation anyways?

So this is how the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Iliad and other ancient Epics were heard... Beautiful. Much better than silent reading.

I have this thread bookmarked since forever, and it has a shitton of ancient music compilations.
I hope the mega links aren't dead.

Bits and fragments. Recreating the instruments helps too.

We have musical notation from the Hurrians and Greeks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAc2KDNHEw4

The notation is vague so there is interpretation involoved but this is the earliest recorded melody.

Also from ancient greece

Wat, where is this from? I know about the story of Vergil reciting the 6th book of Aeneid and making a woman faint, but I've never heard this one.
