Yes, of course, how did I forget about William Lane Craig's Argument for God from Ancient Musical Creativity?
Perhaps I should summarize a bit of the stuff stated on the Wiki page:
So this hymn is one of many hymns that were inscribed on clay tablets in cuneiform writing around 1400 BC. These clay tablets were discovered in the 1950s somewhere in Syria.
The hymn of interest is the only one of these hymns that has been discovered in a substantially complete form, and it is referred to as the Hurrian hymn to Nikkal (or h.6, for short). Nikkal refers to the name of some Semitic goddess.
