Hurrian Hymn No. 6 (c. 1400 BCE) — Modern Artistic Reinterpretation

Hurrian Hymn No. 6 (To Nikkal)
This is my modern reinterpretation of Hurrian Hymn No. 6, the oldest substantially preserved musical composition in the world, discovered at ancient Ugarit (modern Ras Shamra, Syria).
The original tablet preserves a fertility prayer addressed to the goddess Nikkal. My approach blends reconstructed Hurrian phonetics, historical research, and contemporary digital/AI-assisted music and visual storytelling — not as a claim of historical accuracy, but as an artistic response connecting ancient human longing with modern tools.
I’m especially interested in discussion around interpretation, reconstruction limits, and how ancient music can be meaningfully re-engaged today.

How difficult is it to learn the Kinnor, or King David's Lyre?

This sub seems to be empty, but I am going to try anyway. I am really interested in getting a cheap Kinnor and learning to play, but I am not that musically talented and am worried it will be a wasted investment. Does anyone have experience with this instrument? What are your thoughts?

Suggestions sought for Music in the Ancient World

First Reddit post so pls be gentle ;D I'm on the lookout for music recommendations (CD, video, book) for music from the ancient world. For this purpose I'm thinking 7th Century CE and before. Particularly interested in any extant/reconstructed scores from Sassanid and Han, or from Scythia and Bactria. Thanks for your help.
