It is a Sumerian religious hymn, this discovery (Jones, 2014; Pino, 2014) of approximately 3400 years old, the curiosity of this subject, is that it already used the diatonic scale, long before it was used by the Greek civilization, which until before this discovery was to those who I attributed them.
