Una reflexión sobre el origen de la importancia de la música en la antigua Mesopotamia a partir de los cilindros de Gudea A y B

Abstract

Several texts show the Music as a specially considered reality in Mesopotamia, but none of those texts say why the Music had this importance. However, an analysis of the tale about the building of Ninĝirsu’s Temple, contained in the Cylinders of Gudea, could indicate us that the Music was important because it defined to the deities as wise and prudent governors of the Universe, an important conduct in order to maintain the so eagered Universal stability in Mesopotamia.
