The history of the hazzat

So I was wondering where is the origin of the hazzat system where did it first come from? What cultures inspired it? etc... also tell me if it inspired any other cultures or any artist adopted our system or used it some how.

    I'm a little confused; do you mean the history of melismatic tunes or the history of _- - / / ||----- ?

    I don't think hazzats have much of a history; it was created for people to learn long hymns easier/faster. But there's quite a rich history behind the melismatic hymns as it dates back to the Pharaohs!! :)

    What do you mean I am confused too lol I meant the history of melismatic tunes in general not just one specific hymn?
