The People

Music was an essential part of the ancient life in Egypt. It was used daily within the Temple, the home and the Royal Palaces and as a celebration in Festivals and other marked events. Music was believed to be a way of Priests and Priestesses joining in communion with their Deities, especially those whose Statues lived in their earthly shrines.
