The study, conducted by University of California, Santa Barbara’s Dan C. Baciu, and published on the Preprints.org server, compares the Hymn to Nikkal with the Rig Veda, one of the oldest Indian sacred texts. Using computer-assisted rhythm and melody mapping, Baciu’s study demonstrated astonishing parallels between the two pieces. Baciu explained that one in five Rig Veda verses ends with the same cadence as the Hymn to Nikkal. The odds of this occurring by accident are less than one in a million.
