    I wanted to incorporate both ancient and sci-fi kinds of sounds.  I also wanted to include the Mandaean text in Mandaean – but I couldn’t find any audio recordings of the language online.  If you have any (or could record some) I could do an alternate version.

    Sounds like a dirge. I’d use Keika’s Lost in Space Theme, and link it to your title. At least it’s got some pazazz.

    I tried to share Keika’s as well and the video was removed by him, so I had to delete the post.

    Jeff, thanks again for creating this.

    There are two places online where you can find Mandaic read by Mandaeans who speak a modern dialect of the language and so are more authentic:

    If you do something musical with any of those, let me know as I will definitely want to share it!

     I haven’t deleted the video.  It’s still running at:

    And there is a new video I just posted!  This is how I envisioned the theme to be utilized.  A question is asked of the Professor and he responds.  I used my voice for this one.  Enjoy.
