The Lament for a City

Ancient texts of the ancient assyrians have been slowly deciphered and translated. They are now allowed to speak to us from the clay, breaking the silence of millennia. This episode ends with a mysterious poem written by an unknown author in the language of arcadian - known as the lament for a city. The poem speaks in the voice of a goddess whose city has been destroyed, and who now wanders the bare and level deserts alone. It captures what must have been the feeling of loss felt in those days by all the peoples of assyria.
