Is “Egyptian” music shown in movies etc. historically accurate in terms of instruments used? Like this one where the author claims to be “ancient” as well.

    thousands of years

    Every once in a while I’m reminded of how long “ancient Egypt” lasted and how little meaning that phrase really has and I need to sit down.

      What? It only lasted about a century longer than Iranians have been in Persia to now. Or than the Latin tribe has been in Italy. Or than rice has been cultivated in Vietnam.

      Oh and all those things happened 2/3 of the way through ancient Egypt.
