This video presents the audio of an ancient Akkadian hymn to the Goddess of goddesses, the Queen of Heaven, Ishtar. Written and sung in Akkadian, it has been resurrected by creatively reproduced melodies and fresh vocals. Lyrics Ishtar is exalted Ishtar is Queen My Lady is exalted My Lady is Queen I pray unto Thee, O Lady of ladies, Goddess of goddesses Ishtar, Queen of all peoples, Directress of mankind O sweet-smelling Lady, Thou art raised on high, Mistress of the spirits of Heaven Thou art mighty, Thou hast sovereign power, exalted is Thy name Thou art the light of Heaven and Earth, O valiant daughter of the moon god Look upon me, O Lady, and accept my supplication Put an end to the evil bewitchments of my body let me behold Thy clear light Secure my deliverance, and let me be loved and carefully tended to Guide my footsteps in the light, that among men I may gloriously seek my way Vocals, instruments, and arrangement ℗ 2018 Gavin Shri Amneon @gavinshriamneon #AkkadianHymn #Ishtar #Inanna
