    Did you know there's a 3,400-year-old song?
    “Hurrian Hymn No. 6" is considered one of Earth’s earliest melodies, dating back to the 14th century. It was inscribed in cuneiform on clay tablets, which were excavated by archeologists from the ancient city of Ugarit (which is now known as Syria). You can actually listen to the tune performed on lyre by composer Michael Levy!

    Did you know that 1 theory of why we say 'bless you' is that in Tudor England a sneeze was a sign that someone had the plague and a blessing was showing compassion for them on their way to their inevitable death. (Despite the fact that sneezing isn't a symptom of the plague, though apparently).
