Ancient Egyptian Dance

ancient Egyptian pharaohs dance Though there has been no historical evidence, as yet, of Ancient Egyptian musical notes, recently, a project has been undertaken by a university professor to revive the music this bygone era. The importance of music and dance in Ancient Egyptian culture can be deduced from the musical instruments in the artifacts spread all over the world, as well as the depiction of dancers and musicians and scenes of musical feasts. In particular, the artifacts dating back to the New Kingdom of Egypt (during the period from approximately 1550 to 1069 BCE, when the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth dynasties ruled) indicated the prominent role music played. Further, the experts find that depicting dancers at ancient Egyptian tombs implies that these dancers had a role in accompanying the dead to the afterlife. Music was a sacred art, and Ancient Egyptians would sing hymns, anthems, and prayers during the major religious celebrations, accompanied by musical instruments. The most widely used instruments during religious rites were cymbals, bells, sistrums (which became associated with Hathor, god of music, fertility, and happiness) Awtar Tours Glad to guide you in a journey in Egypt "land of the Pharaohs" The Cradle of ancient civilization, join us on our journeys to Egypt and experience a country that effortlessly blends past wonders and present glories.
