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.

I don't believe this is authentic ancient Egyptian music for a second. It's too similar to contemporary rock and roll.

[WakeUpIsToSee]

Beautiful music! Very well done.

@StepaniM i second that question.

[3therea1]

They did have their own form of musical notation, called "Chironomy", which uses hand gestures to denote pitch etc

[StepaniM]

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?
