### Ancient Music (before 500 CE) Favorites: Top 3
> It goes without saying that we have no clue what these people's music actually sounded like. These are all just fun speculations.
1. The sound of the Neanderthal bone flute (40,000 ya) with modern music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHy9FOblt7Y 
2. Pure speculation, the Epic of Gilgamesh (2100 BCE): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUcTsFe1PVs
3. Attempt at recreating some ancient Roman music, but likely inaccurate (sounds decent, though, I think): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nODy70E0ICyeVQuKZKkm1kybKuOr1zpC4


### Medieval Music (500-1400) Favorites: Top 9
> A lot of this is really just medieval-instrument-themed and does not sound what actual medieval music sounded like, especially secular medieval. As a rule of thumb, if it sounds good, it's a modern interpretation. However, I _think_ there are a few true interpretations here, like Solage's. I presume he left some notation.
