Introduction
This site introduces an over view of the Egyptian civilization.Through my research I found it interesting to share some of the Egyptian music and videos rather than providing raw data.
Life in Egypt is really interesting up to now. People are always active and they hardly sleep. Below s a link with some of the videos about Egypt and its civilization. I would recommend these videos :

Music has been a part of Egyptian culture probably since its beginning. Tomb and temple paintings show a variety of musical instruments in both sacred and secular environments, and many of the dead were buried with instruments. This leads to the thought that music formed an integral part of not only Egyptian rituals, but also daily life and recreation. Sadly, no written pieces of music have survived, and no system of notation is known to have been developed by the ancient Egyptians. It would seem that music in ancient Egypt was, like so many of the arts at that time, passed down from one person to another in a form of "aural" tradition. Various universities and institutions are working to extrapolate what ancient Egyptian music might have sounded like based on present-day and known historical forms using recreations of instruments.
