The Zipang Recording Project (ZRP) was launched by the Enheduanna Society in October 2017.

The purpose of the project is to record and make publicly available the Zipang repertoire of re-told Mesopotamian stories. These re-told stories are based closely on academic translations and were developed over twenty years of public performances by the Zipang storytellers. Click here to view a list of written sources for the stories.

The ZRP will enable these stories to be listened to in English and in Arabic, providing a free and easily accessible introduction to the literature of ancient Iraq.

Below is a list of the ZRP stories currently available, either as audio files or videos. Simply click on the title of any story to view further information about it and how to access it. It is free to watch, listen to and download ZRP stories.

The stories were recorded by Robert Worby, Arij al-Soltan, Jennifer Iles, and Colin Rae. The ZRP was produced by Fran Hazelton and by James Ware of Purple Patch Records.
