My Way News - Babylonian, dead for millennia, now online
My Way News reports: "Babylonia was among the world's first civilizations and produced some of its earliest pieces of literature. Its people also play a central role in the Bible. Babylon's soaring, pyramid-shaped Temple of Marduk is thought to have inspired the tale of the Tower of Babel, while their conquest of the Kingdom of Judah in the early sixth century B.C. led to the deportation and exile of the nation's Jewish population."

Comment: This is a bit random, but I think it's cool. The audio recordings in ancient Babylonian can be found here.
