About 20 years ago, I had the mp3s for music about ancient Sumeria. I don’t remember the artist, but one of the songs on the album was called “We Are All One” and contained such lyrics as “Good people of Uruk, obey my voice” and “the fate of Uruk as I demand.” I can’t find these songs anywhere, and a lyric search turns up nothing on search engines. Anyone know who the artist is and where I can find the album? #EpicOfGilgamesh #Gilgamesh #Uruk #Sumerian #Music
