Corinthian helmet is not from the period of this song ( II - I century). Furthermore, why a musician would play with a helmet? Apart form this, great playing!
My son sent me this song not too long ago , we lost his brother, I love it and it gives me comfort that the oldest song is a song to comfort those that grief , because its a life sentence the pain never leaves , we just learn to sorta survive
Lyrics of this song - “While you live, shine. Have no grief at all. Life exists only for a short while. And Time demands an end.” But the first song of mankind is written in samveda.
The Samveda is not the first song written by humans. As far as writing goes, our first records of both song and tale written down comes from Mesopotamia and even Greece, with the ancient Myceneans, predating the Samveda by almost a thousand years.
@@kalki612 Sumerian is considered to be the earliest form of writing, and slightly after it was followed by Egypt. This is believed to have happened around 3500 BC-3000 BC. Greek only appeared in Linear A and B around 1800 BC. As for Indian writing, it is believed the earliest was the Rig Verda, written around 1500 BC-1200 BC Chinese in its fully sophisticated form only appeared around 1250 BC to 1000 BC but was only standardized in the 200s BC during the Qing dynasty. I suggest googling "the history of writing". You'll find some interesting stuff.

I hate that you all wear mustaches like turks and play turkish music. It's like your favorite time in history is the 19 century. If I was greek I would probably wear hoplite armor every day and grew a beard with long hair
Wrong, the Hurrian hymn is the oldest song that we could restore, the seikilod epitaph is the oldest song we could COMPLETELY restore. Technically making it the oldest song in the world
The thing is, the Hurrian Hymn is ginormously incomplete: The song itself has many and very different interpretations because of the vague way it was written, the tablet has parts missing and we simply don't know much about the hurrian language. On the other hand, we know with 100% certainty the exact melody of the Seikilos Epitaph, we have all of it from start to end, and we know the lyrics
@@classicscorner I would watch it! I recently rediscovered my appreciation for this side of History via Kleopas And The Hymn to The Muses Calliope and Apollo. They've given me much to process.
It’s kind of strange to think that the oldest song a human has ever made, is forever lost. Music pre-dates history, so nobody will ever know what the oldest song was. It would be cool to hear the kind of songs primitive humans would have sang with their loved ones or to their children, or what kind of melodies or rhythm they might have. Was very cool to hear this, because it gives us a glimpse as far back as we can to see what music would have sounded like.
African????😂 This is "επιτάφιος του Σέικιλου"! It is the oldest surviving song in its entirety (lyrics and music) and it's NOT an African song! It's a GREEK song 😉

Despite being a beautiful song, It is (unfortunately) not the oldest song.
The oldest song is the Hurrian Hymn, dating back to the bronze age.
@@Kayypags Hymn = song.
from the definition verbatim, “a religious SONG or a poem”
Wrong, the Hurrian hymn is the oldest song that we could restore, the seikilod epitaph is the oldest song we could COMPLETELY restore. Technically making it the oldest song in the world

Very nice but it's rather unlikely that the player would play this wearing his battle gear, helmet and all.

Oldest song in the world is in no way Greek! Try African! It's a 'lyre' (see what I did?)
It’s not African at least from what I know it’s either the hurrian hym or this
African????😂 This is "επιτάφιος του Σέικιλου"! It is the oldest surviving song in its entirety (lyrics and music) and it's NOT an African song! It's a GREEK song 😉
Plus lyre is an ancient GREEK instrument! Please educate yourself before you say something 😂
Which tuning are you using? Pythagorean or equal temperament?
