Video about the Arameans

[Romaios]

I'm not sure this link belongs here, but anyway - a documentary on the history of the (western only    ) Arameans made by the Syrian Orthodox (Jacobite) Church in collaboration with Prof. Sebastian Brock. It's called The Hidden Pearl, and it comes in 13 sections on youtube. Here's a link to the first part:

At the end of the 5th part (7'40''), there's the hymn with the same name by St. Ephrem recited by school children from Aleppo in the original Syriac:

This was originally posted in the Wisdom of the Oriental Orthodox Fathers thread.  I felt, however, that it could be its own topic, so I split it off.  Thank you, Romaios, for the interesting links.  I especially loved hearing the children recite the poetry of St. Ephrem.
