The text of this hymn is concerned with the promotion of fertility. It refers to the making of offerings and libations to the moon goddess, Nikkal. The tablet was found at the site of ancient Ugarit (contemporary Ras Shamra), 1km from the Syrian coast. The original tablet is in the collection of the National Museum of Damascus.

Has this ever been translated and transposed into modern instruments ?? I’m fascinated and could probably do the search myself but I’m stoned and lazy at the moment. I’m a musician and would love to do something with this but I don’t read cuneiform
When you say BC, the E is not needed 🙂 We got the meaning from the first two letters. But hey, I get it. Being edgy is cool.
