How was this music kept preserved all these years? Did the Ancient Egyptians have their own forms of note-taking? Or is this just an educated guess as to how the music was?
This is very interesting. I always wondered what an ancient egyptian dinner party would sound like. Now I can imagine 3500 years into the past.....Thank You!
Lovely music. It's just as captivating as listening to the video of the man experimenting with Ancient Egyptian vocalization on the video "The Teaching of King Amenemhat."
there were much more instruments that they have left out such as double reed or oboe and cymbals etc .. there aint any drums in the mural of the tombs.. this music sound like a turkish music .. lol
I listen to a death metal band called Nile and in they're songs they usually have some parts like this and i love it so here i am searching for this, i want to know the instrument names!
It's a very nice piece. I also like how they used some of the instruments that have been around for 1000s of years. I am wondering however if the song is one that someone more recently composed or one that was discovered through an archaelogical find. As for the boneheads who blabber about race this, race that. Get a DNA test and see how far your ancestry traces. You'll find that your genes came from alot further away then what you think.
Thank you very much. I research about ancient Egypt music. This is the only one video with the national-instrument of the ancient Egyptians: the bow-harp.
One last point...Imagine that Europeans landed in America a thousand years ago, would they not have claimed the pyramids that are here to be their own? Would they not have effaced the monuments as the Arab Sultans did to the pyramids? Would they point to their populations (which are now largely mixed in America) as evidence of the ancient cultures which are nowhere to be found (except in small villages in Central America/Mexico)? Come on people. Cultural theft happens all the time,
Sure Africans overclaim, and so do Europeans and Arabs. Truth be told, we all made this world and are continually remaking and remolding it (through divine grace). But don't claim something that is not yours - a billion Africans will one day stop you!
Sure, in later periods Semitic peoples invaded Egypt (look at the Arab genocide in Sudan, and also note Libya's battles with Chad), this is still Arab expansion and domination of Africa. We in America invaded and dominated the Natives, but we did not construct the pyramids we found (even though people claim that Europeans must have been here first). Come on. The truth is the truth. Arabs have enslaved us, and are killing us off every day while smiling in our faces.
@mastercleanse4life There was never an Arab Genocide against Egyptians because simply Islam prohibited it. Modern day Egyptians are the only and true ancestors of ancient Egyptians. All other claims are Afrocentric lies.
@GreekFire89 OH FOR FUCKS SAKE I AM TIRED OF THIS GODDAMN RACE WAR IN ANCIENT EGYPT! ANCIENT EGYPTIANS WERE NOT BLACK, NOT WHITE, THEY WERE FUCKING BROWN, LOOK AT THEIR GODDAMN WALL PAINTING, HITTITES WERE MUCH WHITER THAN THEM AND NUBIANS WERE MUCH DARKER! YOU'RE ALL BLOODY RACISTS!
@TheChuchulainn If you're sick of hearing it, and don't care about it. Don't fucking pay attention, dipshit. It's as simple as that. Their art was representative of their dark skin tone. You'll still find the darkest "whites" (as defined by the US census) in the Middle East and North Africa. So yes, look at the wall frescoes. Where the women are normally shown lighter than the men. Of course the Hittites would be lighter living at a different latitude. You can go fuck yourself.
@TheChuchulainn No, I didn't. I was providing the definition of "white" (which doesn't include just fair skinned people) to counter the little bitchfit you had, as well as pointing out the difference in men and women in most Egyptian art, where they are portrayed as lighter. If you can't read very well...then you're really not as smart as you say you are. Dumbass. Lol!
@GodGrandmaster Well duh, of course women are lighter, they spent most time indoors after all. But appartently I need to repeat myself because my words did not get through to the atrophied word-comprehension part of your brain: Egyptian (men) were brown. Nubians were painted black. Hittites were painted lighter. Got it? Good.
@TheChuchulainn Naturally brown-complected women would not get lighter for being indoors unless they were fair complected to begin with. Under your logic, one would assume that the Egyptian men and women were of two different "races." LOL! You're a damn idiot. They were white.
@GodGrandmaster Actually, egyptians were not white. They were mid-toned brown, like north african and south mediterranean people are today. Egypt has maintained its race throughout most of its existence. The further south you go into Egypt, the darker the skin tone. Nubian egyptians from the ancient culture were black, and still considered members of the kingdom. Further north they were lighter skinned but never quite made it to white. The lightest you could hope for would have been tanned.
@CuteMcBeauty The definition of white is subjective and has meant different things throughout time. Arabs and North Africans are legally considered "white" by the United States and South American countries. You're right about Egyptians maintaining their race throughout their existence. And there is a North to South cline in skin tone in Egypt, however...Upper Egyptians were not blacks, and many unadmixed ones are the same shade as South Arabians such as Yemenis...
@GodGrandmaster But, a change in the light to dark ratio from Europe to the Middle East and North Africa (who I remind you have many fair people as well), is hardly enough for me to change my definition of "white."
"In both analyses the main feature of the genetic landscape in northern Africa is an east-west pattern of variation pointing to the differentiation between the Berber and Arab population groups of the northwest and the populations of Libya and Egypt....
@CuteMcBeauty The "Nubian Egyptians" were not Egyptians themselves, despite that some had settlements in ancient Upper Egypt. The pharaonic texts note them as being the foreigners that they were. Modern "black" Upper Egyptians are the result of admixture mainly on the mtDNA side with the influx of blacks from the Trans Saharan slave trade, and more recent immigration. Nubians are not still considered "members of the kingdom." They were their on kingdom dominated at different times..
@CuteMcBeauty The fact is, there is a variety of shades found in Egypt the way you see a variety of shades in Europe and the Middle East. Before the skin lightening mutation, Europeans were the same color as many Middle Eastern people. And it's no wonder that we see a light to dark cline in skin color going from Northern Europe to Southern Europe, many Southern Europeans looking Middle Eastern/North African. The ratio of dark to light people is just different...
@CuteMcBeauty ... Moreover, Libya and Egypt show the smallest genetic distances with the European populations, including the Iberian Peninsula. The most plausible interpretation of these results is that, although demic diffusion during the Neolithic could explain the genetic similarity between northeast Africa and Europe by a parallel process of gene flow from the Near East, a Mesolithic (or older) differentiation...
@CuteMcBeauty ...of the populations in the northwestern regions with later limited gene flow is needed to understand the genetic picture."

E. Bosch
And despite some black admixture in Upper Egypt: "The Upper Egyptian population is closer to the Middle Eastern, North African, South Asian and European populations than others." "Genetic variation of 15 autosomal STR loci in Upper (Southern) Egyptians"
@VendPrekmurec Are you using the MYTHOLOGY of ancient Egypt that spoke of the reigns of gods lasting thousands of years to say that ancient Egyptians were white!? First, that's fucking mythology, not fact, second it says nothing about skin color. You. Are. Racist. I am always right, and you are always wrong. End of fucking story.
All the ancient paintings in the Sahara depicted Africans in dress similar to the Egyptians...Red is a sign for masculinity and brown for fertility...even Nubians depicted themselves in this fashion (who we know are African). Tar Seti is older than Egypt, and dressed the same and had older dynesties...All the musical instruments, foodstuffs, methodoligies, language paterns, fractal construction methods of Egypt are all from Africa, not Saudi Arabia.

whoa guys, come down and enjoy the song! and what black people think that jesus is black? and so what masrawy91 if they do? Whatever floats their boats, and the theory of evolution simply states that EVERYONE's ancestors were apes, like a million years ago so take a shill pill!
yes, me too ureshii^^ i mean glad. this type of the ancient-orient music gave lots of influences to our music in the east such as uzbek,chinese and japanese. actually i feel very much familiarness with this performance^ ^
How does it sounds unlikely? We can't know for sure how ancient Egyptian music would have sounded. We can only learn so much with the currently available information.
I'm VERY curious as to what you mean by "lifestyle". You know a lot about it, do you? Enough to make an informed opinion on the type of music these people would have listened to? I hope you don't mean you think they were death-obsessed, depressed people who would never have listened to uplifting or "party"-like music. *sigh*
It is always the realities of a culture that shapes the way it implements music and what it sounds like. Everything in Ancient Egypt (depending on the time period) would have been heavily centered on pleasing the nobility; specifically the Pharaoh--a direct connect to the main deities worshipped at that time (Ra and Osiris). The ideology surronding these gods was linked to both life and death, and their soicety was built totally around the fertility of the land and the life hereafter.
So to say they were death obsessed--well, to an extent they were; moreso than other ancient cultures at that time. But they were also a very lively people, based on the depictions they drew of themselves. And there still remains evidence of what the music sounds like through their direct descendants--the Copts. Though, lifestyle changed through invasion and religious shifts, so the music of the descendants wouldn't be completely as authentic as if it were never influenced by outside forces.
yea and you fucking white people believe that you are the people tp validate people's history that has nothing to do with you... and also you people just came into the picture around 6,000-7,000 years ago. kemet has been there for at LEAST 120,000 years. do your research buddy
im egyptian.. im living proof that the ancient egyptians were nubians.. there is very few of us left because the arabs conquered.. but if you notice and take geography, all the surrounding countries around egypt (sudan, ethiopia, eritrea, somalia, djibouti) are filled with nothing but african people. it scientifically doesnt make sence for the ancient egyptians to be asiatic arabs..
its not your history its my history... look at my face i clearly resemble king tutenkhemen.. my name is shrira menhati my mothers name is sakhet tut khem my father's name is seneme khes ner amen. clearly im a traditional egyptian... you my friend are arabic. learn YOUR history

no we are dark brown just like our neighbors eritrea somalia and ethiopia... the ancient egyptians who stayed in egypt after the arabs invaded mixed with the arabs... but us full blooded egyptians are still in southern egypt and we're darkskinned. were africans with fine and curly hair just like our neighbors..
youre right. cos im nubian/black. ancient egytians are brothers to our neighbors ethiopia eritrea and somalia... in fact, when the arabs invaded most of us ancient egyptians moved south and into somalia eritrea and ethiopia. but egypt/kemet was one of the greatest civilizations ever built, ofcourse the white and the arabics took over and claimed it as there own. just as they did everything else. but reality is EGYPT IS IN AFRICA. thats why your right brother. thanx
oh my days you thick slag... do you actually think that as soon as you travel 20km south of italy and greece the people are going to suddenly turn black??? oh no im sorry you think that ancient greeks were also black, i forgot... oh well you have an AMAZING history then...
masrawy91 i neer anything about Greeks being black. Greek culture is not my culture. Italy Greese are in europe so ancient Greece and Italy were white. Dont get those two countries confused with Egypt.. I am EGYPTIAN. my culture has nothing really to do with Greece... so your statement was ignorant and off topic... lets get this straight ok, im born and raised in Egypt.. Greece. Rome, and all those other European countries have nothing to do with me so dont make that comparrision okie..
doesnt matter if you were born in egypt, it doesnt make you the original people of the land, the ancient greek artists drew egyptians then to be my colour and what most of the egyptians currently look like- no more evidence is needed, and im so sorry but your people that have the same views also claim that greece was black, but the others like you that think that this is too far but you have no decent history so you stick to egypt, you bullshitting bellends.
lmao.. ofcourse the ancient Greeks drew us egyptians as a white color because they were so fascinated by our greatness that they wanted to conquer and they did.. i live in egypt..
i dont really know anyone eho thinks that greeks are black.. that sounds silly... but i live in egypt, my family has been here for many dinesties. and i am brownskinned and my parents are even darker. come to egypt and you will see us golden brown egyptians and you wil see the the true artwork that they dont expose in the western world.. this world is still racist believe it or not and they arent going to reveal the truth... unless you travel.. i have no descent history??!
relax man, you are right, but there are people that always think they are right, i have been to egypt a lot of times and of course i know a lot of history about it, and you are right, but masrawy91 is a jerk, leave him alone in his error
@ningali You are Nubian doesn't make you related to ancient Egyptians, DNA tests on mummies & historic evidence have proved that ancient Egyptians were not black Africans. Take your Afro-centeric fantasies away becuase you can't rob our heritage.
P.S I am upper Egyptian "True Egyptian" from upper Egypt
I respectfully disagree with you aymology, due to that fact that ancient egypt and nubia ruled each other in different periods of their shared history, therefore the cultures in both ancient egypt and what is now Northern Sudan is quite similar during the pharaonic and later meriotic period. Also, i hope you don't think that the only nubian period was the 25th dynasty, but it was the 12th and possibly the so called New kingdom as well, but the new kingdom was of misr and cush.
And so, my argument is basically that the music would have been a lot more heavily accented and dramatic than what is being performed in this clip--as the original performers would have been performing for the sake of a deity or concept surrounding fertility, death, or dedication. This particular performance lacks the depth necessary (in my opinion) to be classified as anything near authentic.
I'm really happy to see that you really know your stuff. :)
I was only worried that you were one of those rather uneducated people who assume and thus KNOW that the ancient Egyptians were death-obsessed people. I have to agree that Coptic music would at least in part be similar to music in ancient Egypt, but the ancients would have had a slightly different way of playing and making music that would seem to us now to be lost on the world forever.
Through the Copts, we can learn more about these ancient people's language, certain customs, and music. Just because they're similar, however, doesn't make them the same. We just don't know how it would have sounded with such a degree of certainty as to "authentically" reproduce it. All we can really do is speculate on a lot of it.
I do agree that most music probably had much more depth, especially due to the subject matter they would have had in mind, but who's to say these people didn't have songs specifically in mind for parties? Fun occasions? Nearly all of us, from every culture and part of the world, can recognize songs that are "sad" as opposed to "happy". Minor and major scales, higher and lower notes, slower and faster pace - there are quite a few factors into what makes a song give off a specific emotion.
Why shouldn't they have been the same? I'm sure performers at the great festivals and the performers hired for extravagant parties(as well as the people attending both) would probably rather dance and sing to something giving off a slightly more "happy" emotion.
I'm just speculating here. I don't think these people were quite so serious, or boring, or static as people of today make them out to be. We seem to do that a lot with people who lived so long ago. Even with past decades, the people living at that time have been stereotyped into this one static group. Even people 10-20 years ago! Imagine how much more alienated from the truth of ANCIENT cultures we must become if we deem people more and more stereotypical and static with time.
Ancient or modern, this music is captivating!

im egyptian.. im living proof that the ancient egyptians were nubians.. there is very few of us left because the arabs conquered.. but if you notice and take geography, all the surrounding countries around egypt (sudan, ethiopia, eritrea, somalia, djibouti) are filled with nothing but african people. it scientifically doesnt make sence for the ancient egyptians to be asiatic arabs..

no we are dark brown just like our neighbors eritrea somalia and ethiopia... the ancient egyptians who stayed in egypt after the arabs invaded mixed with the arabs... but us full blooded egyptians are still in southern egypt and we're darkskinned. were africans with fine and curly hair just like our neighbors..
ningali 3 years ago
youre right. cos im nubian/black. ancient egytians are brothers to our neighbors ethiopia eritrea and somalia... in fact, when the arabs invaded most of us ancient egyptians moved south and into somalia eritrea and ethiopia. but egypt/kemet was one of the greatest civilizations ever built, ofcourse the white and the arabics took over and claimed it as there own. just as they did everything else. but reality is EGYPT IS IN AFRICA. thats why your right brother. thanx

oh my days you thick slag... do you actually think that as soon as you travel 20km south of italy and greece the people are going to suddenly turn black??? oh no im sorry you think that ancient greeks were also black, i forgot... oh well you have an AMAZING history then...
masrawy91 3 years ago
masrawy91 i neer anything about Greeks being black. Greek culture is not my culture. Italy Greese are in europe so ancient Greece and Italy were white. Dont get those two countries confused with Egypt.. I am EGYPTIAN. my culture has nothing really to do with Greece... so your statement was ignorant and off topic... lets get this straight ok, im born and raised in Egypt.. Greece. Rome, and all those other European countries have nothing to do with me so dont make that comparrision okie..
ningali 3 years ago
doesnt matter if you were born in egypt, it doesnt make you the original people of the land, the ancient greek artists drew egyptians then to be my colour and what most of the egyptians currently look like- no more evidence is needed, and im so sorry but your people that have the same views also claim that greece was black, but the others like you that think that this is too far but you have no decent history so you stick to egypt, you bullshitting bellends.
masrawy91 3 years ago
lmao.. ofcourse the ancient Greeks drew us egyptians as a white color because they were so fascinated by our greatness that they wanted to conquer and they did.. i live in egypt..
ningali 3 years ago
i dont really know anyone eho thinks that greeks are black.. that sounds silly... but i live in egypt, my family has been here for many dinesties. and i am brownskinned and my parents are even darker. come to egypt and you will see us golden brown egyptians and you wil see the the true artwork that they dont expose in the western world.. this world is still racist believe it or not and they arent going to reveal the truth... unless you travel.. i have no descent history??!

@ningali You are Nubian doesn't make you related to ancient Egyptians, DNA tests on mummies & historic evidence have proved that ancient Egyptians were not black Africans. Take your Afro-centeric fantasies away becuase you can't rob our heritage.

@aymology
I respectfully disagree with you aymology, due to that fact that ancient egypt and nubia ruled each other in different periods of their shared history, therefore the cultures in both ancient egypt and what is now Northern Sudan is quite similar during the pharaonic and later meriotic period. Also, i hope you don't think that the only nubian period was the 25th dynasty, but it was the 12th and possibly the so called New kingdom as well, but the new kingdom was of misr and cush.

And so, my argument is basically that the music would have been a lot more heavily accented and dramatic than what is being performed in this clip--as the original performers would have been performing for the sake of a deity or concept surrounding fertility, death, or dedication. This particular performance lacks the depth necessary (in my opinion) to be classified as anything near authentic.

I'm really happy to see that you really know your stuff. :)
I was only worried that you were one of those rather uneducated people who assume and thus KNOW that the ancient Egyptians were death-obsessed people. I have to agree that Coptic music would at least in part be similar to music in ancient Egypt, but the ancients would have had a slightly different way of playing and making music that would seem to us now to be lost on the world forever.

Through the Copts, we can learn more about these ancient people's language, certain customs, and music. Just because they're similar, however, doesn't make them the same. We just don't know how it would have sounded with such a degree of certainty as to "authentically" reproduce it. All we can really do is speculate on a lot of it.
mortiferia 3 years ago
I do agree that most music probably had much more depth, especially due to the subject matter they would have had in mind, but who's to say these people didn't have songs specifically in mind for parties? Fun occasions? Nearly all of us, from every culture and part of the world, can recognize songs that are "sad" as opposed to "happy". Minor and major scales, higher and lower notes, slower and faster pace - there are quite a few factors into what makes a song give off a specific emotion.
mortiferia 3 years ago
Why shouldn't they have been the same? I'm sure performers at the great festivals and the performers hired for extravagant parties(as well as the people attending both) would probably rather dance and sing to something giving off a slightly more "happy" emotion.
mortiferia 3 years ago
I'm just speculating here. I don't think these people were quite so serious, or boring, or static as people of today make them out to be. We seem to do that a lot with people who lived so long ago. Even with past decades, the people living at that time have been stereotyped into this one static group. Even people 10-20 years ago! Imagine how much more alienated from the truth of ANCIENT cultures we must become if we deem people more and more stereotypical and static with time.
