Babylonian and Assyrian Poetry and Literature: An Archive of Recordings (Aural Akkadian)
This website collects recordings of modern Assyriologists reading ancient Babylonian and Assyrian poetry and literature aloud in the original language. The project is coordinated by Martin Worthington of SOAS's Department of the Near and Middle East and includes excepts from, among other works, the Codex Hammurabi, the Epic of Gilgamesh and Ishtar's Descent to the Netherworld
You may have to download an additional font (Steve Tinney's Ungkam font) to view the transcriptions correctly. This is available free from http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/doc/user/fonts/
