Welcome to the Music Room of jojo Nebuchadnezzar
Excavations at the Royal Tombs or Ur clearly indicate that there was music in Ancient Mesopotamia at least as far back as 2500 BC as is evidenced by this portion of a sounding box from that period showing a harp player.
Notice the lyre decorated with a bull's head in the picture above. Such a lyre was also excavated from the tombs and it's reconstruction is shown below.
