about

Experience a private translation of one of humanity's most ancient texts: "The Descent of Ishtar"! Translated from the original Akkadian, with all original music and original performances by Brian Sovryn himself, Audio of the Ancients is proud to share with you one of the first stories of a goddess that delved into the darkest depths...long before any other religion laid claim to similar tales. Thousands of years ago in the Babylonian Empire, this story was known to one and all and many heeded its words and its mysteries. Now, take a journey through the ancient world, and journey with Ishtar to the underworld...and times undreamed of!
