the project
The catalyst for Ankh: The Sound of Ancient Egypt was an exhibition-Life and Death in the Land of the Pharaohs, developed by the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden, The Netherlands. The exhibition came to the Australian Museum in 1998. It provided the challenge of producing a creative reconstruction of ancient Egyptian music and the inspiration for a longer term research project.
The first stage of the project began with a response to the contents of the exhibition itself, followed by a delving into the ever-increasing output of Egyptological scholarship, to establish a broader musical context. The big questions loomed large: what did the music sound like? How were the instruments tuned? Was the music polyphonic? One must proceed by conjecture and deduction, using the literary and visual record in conjunction with an examination of surving instruments. The answers remain elusive, mainly gleaned from instruments housed in museums, along with iconographic and literary evidence. There is no surviving music notation, nor any musical theory which might instruct one about pitch, rhythm and timbre.
In approaching the composition and performance of the music, Michael Atherton drew on his experience in playing medieval monophony, eastern European and Turkish folk music, as well as his participation in intercultural music projects.
Atherton primarily uses 5, 6, and 7 note scales based on specific pitches, resulting in a combination of Moroccan ramal mai mode and Persian afshari. He also gravitates toward pentatonic scales and major modes. The melodies move in small steps. The setting of the hymns is monophonic, with the inclusion of call and response development. Sung items include interpolated recitations, as a means of acknowledging a deep connection between lanuguage and music.
Ankh: The Sound of Ancient Egypt is a contribution to giving a voice to the vivid images of a dynamic musical culture.
the artists
Multi-instrumentalist Michael Atherton composed and produced this recording. He is an internationally travelled performer, composer, author of books on musical instruments, an accomplished composer for the screen, and writes chamber music. Since 1993, he has served as a Foundation Professor at the University of Western Sydney, Nepean.
The artists featured on this extraordinary reconstruction of the sound of ancient Egypt include some of Australia's finest musicians, including Michael Atherton, Mina Kanaridis, Philip South and Greg Hebblewhite. Mary Demovic provides spoken word and the chorus is comprised of Maria Campbell, Angela Shrimpton, Stephen Clark, and Hasan Shanal.
Using visual records, Atherton gathered and adapted a variety of similar instruments from various cultures (Greek, Turkish, Indian, Egyptian, etc.) to recreate the sound of ancient Egypt. These include: sambuca (boat-shaped harp), a trigon (angle harp), auloi (double-oboes), a shawm to simulate a Tutankhamun trumpet), adapting bronze disks and metal rods to simulate sistra, a pair of Turkish zils to simulate crotala, adapting a rewap to simulate the long-lute, riq (tambourine), bendir and tar (framedrums), and udongo for timbral variety.
In case anyone wanted to stay up to date on Mike's work! He has an amazing repertoire
I came here for the New Age but stayed for the Old Age.
This song was playing on every station 5000 years ago lil tut was on the beat
"Lil Tut" ahahaha
😂
Foolish...
Only this one sounds like real ancient Egyptian music. Most of the other so-called "ancient Egyptian" musics on youtube are just Arab-style music performed using modern instruments
@Áldelbert Levíжα Time Lord
Amazing journey. I am deeply thankful for it.
I listen this album everyday! I love it! Thanks You very much!
still listening to it every day?
@@agua9362 Yes.
Are you still listening to it?
@@bekasibego yes, still 😸
Nice that they are singing in actual ancient egyptian. Loved it.
Theyre not lol.
🤣
What a colossal idiot of a comment. we're all dumber because of you!!
I'm an expert on Ancient Egypt and the words sound real enough to me. At 16:40 I even noticed some real words, (𓇓𓏏, king) (𓊹𓏪, gods) (𓂦, sacred) (𓎛𓍕𓅱, yoke)
This hit my soul
Thanks for this. I see it's from 1998. Just shows the gap between the knowledge people actually have of actual conceptual idealism of what Ancient Egypt would or may have sounded like.
How’d you know for sure it’s from the 1990s
because it really don’t matter

Im Gipsy this feels really Like Home☦
Divine ❤ thank you
Ancient-like...I was really giving too the sounds of this...I'm 5 stars....
Absolutely beautiful!
I dearly wish that the lyrics and translations were included, either in annotations / captions, or clear images from a CD booklet. It would really enrich the experience to have some idea what is being said!
AMUN RA!!
We are the music KNOW THINESELF WE WERE THE WATCH PEOPLE THEN AND STILL ARE
I heard a few of these in civ 5
Kinda makes me sad they couldn't use more of this, or actually use a language remotely similar to what Ramesses II would have spoken.
Only 1500 B.C kids will remember. What a great time with my friend 𓀜𓐧 𓐨 𓈷
great time can be written in hieroglyphs as 𓁷𓅱𓇳𓄤
i don't think I'm ever going to find the sound im looking for anywhere 😭
Me to lmao 😭
Is it the sound of the ankh?
Translation would be great!
😍😍😍😍👌
W- Who's cutting onions 😢
we have a mix of light and dark within us meaning good and bad some people turn to being bad and doing bad things, some turn to being good and doing good things and others a mix of both but what it all comes down too is why your doing it. The reason behind the action, God judges the heart meaning your soul, your intention, that is what he knows us by. He calls all of us sinners born into sin because we didn't really get a choice, the fallen angels chose this for us by betraying God and coming down here and creating a false heaven.

Adorei o ritmo e sintonia.
If you look into Egyptian music no one really knows how it really sounded like. There's no evidence left or any details in there music. We know Egyptian music base on what it sounds in modern era. Before bc no one knows what pharaohs listen to.
Exactly
even the word “egyptian” isnt the correct name, they had no vowels. ancient KMT & also egyptian is Greek
We know their instruments and most has been preserved throughout Egyptian history.
We are the music KNOW THINESELF WE WERE THE WATCH PEOPLE THEN AND STILL ARE
They listened to a lot of Pet Shop boys and the Cranberries.

Essa é a verdadeira música egípcia???
é impossível saber ao certo exatamente como soava a música do antigo egito, mas esta é provavelmente uma aproximação bastante fiel à verdade
Yay stunning babies welcome back to the Empire of the Dragon and Suns and Moons thank you my stunning babies for coming back for me I love you forever we may never be parted Creatoress Bless
Where are crystal bowls?
Les vocalises me semblent un peu trop "occidentalisées", c'est dommage mais ça reste très agréable. Il aurait fallut se reprocher un peu plus des musiques d'Afrique noire et des vocalises orientales arabophones pour avoir un résultat plus réaliste au niveau des voix. Mais je me trompe peut-être.
L'Egypte ancienne recouvre des époques très étalées. En 3000 ans de monarchie pharaonique, il y a eu des changements dans tous les aspects des sociétés ! Chaque peuple conquis, conquérant ou immigrant a apporté ses instruments, les couleurs, ses sonorités... Entre la corne de l'Afrique, la vallée du Nil depuis sa source, la péninsule Arabique, la Mésopotamie, la Perse, la Grèce, la Crête, Rome... La musique égyptienne de l'an 0 devait être particulièrement riche.
Any evidence ancient Egyptian music sounded like this? We know they tuned the top chamber in the Great Pyramid to 440Hz. We know it had some other acoustic resonance properties that could be tuned by stoppers near the ends of the tunnels.
Sorry but this doesn't make any sense, not least because measuring in Hz was not possible in ancient Egypt:
***
"Fact: Hertz is a modern term coined in 1930. Before that it was referred as “Cycles Per Second”. The first time “Cycles Per Second” could be accurately measured was in 1834, when two instruments were invented: the (remodeled) Savart Wheel by Félix Savart, and the Tonometer by Johann Scheibler.
Further than that-the measurement of Seconds has only begun during the late 16th century.
Ancient Tibetans, Pythagoras and anyone before 1834 could not have intentionally tuned their instrument to measure 432 Hz as this frequency scale simply did not exist at the time."

***
There are a lot of funny pseudoscientific ideas about frequencies and perhaps even more of them regarding ancient Egypt and the Great Pyramid, but the fact of the matter is, the Great Pyramid was used as a tomb, which there is ample evidence for. How you could even "tune" a pyramid I don't fully understand, but there is simply no reputable evidence the interior was designed for acoustics intentionally. It's all uninformed wishful thinking from folks who are not Egyptologists, and don't even seem to have any grasp of ancient history. This writer here is only a student, but he does a fantastic job explaining why most of the new age claims are fantasy:
talesoftimesforgotten.com/2020/01/03/this-is-how-we-know-the-egyptian-pyramids-were-built-as-tombs/
Also, in answer to your first question, I copied and pasted the album description from the record label website, which goes into some detail about what decisions the artist made to imagine how ancient Egyptian music might have sounded. Seems he did his research, but in truth there's not much besides instruments to go on, so any recreation is going to be more "creation" than "re-". But this exercise does seem to be informed by the best research available at the time.
I have the least idea, but it's nice anyway.
@EP K, probably the most dumb answer and less intuitive I saw lately. If you were to loosen up your intellect and beliefs that aren't even yours you would go further on the journey. You need not have instruments to be inside yourself and know this existence. One day, it shall come to you too, as a recognition.
It's frustrating that no musical notation system or record of Ancient Egyptian music was made. It was all orally past down... but all is not lost. There are a few ways they can get a good idea of how it sounded. This group, working with a museum, would still have the following knowledge (and some amazing recreations of the original instruments).
1. Their neighbors did make records of their music! The Persians and the Greeks traveled there, studied the music, went home and recorded what they learned. Their notes match up too. It's a pretty strong theory that they primarily used the double harmonic minor scale.
2. The music was made to accompany dance with tambourine or clapping for the beat. That gives us the rhythm and tempo.
3. No surprise here... we can look at the instruments like finger holes on the woodwinds. The frets on the stringed instruments. That helps reveal the harmonies and scales. The recreation of ancient musical instruments is much easier with the Egyptian because people were buried with them.
4. Paintings. Musical and dance ensembles were a very popular image to paint, especially in tombs depicting the great delights of living in the Afterworld. They show how the instruments were played and the make up of a band.
I think this group of dedicated professionals really focused on authenticity over everything. This might be as close as they can get without a time machine.
The Shemsu-Hor taught to the Egyptians the use of free wireless electricity with sound vibrations, batteries and using the same Tesla technology but actually was Tesla who studied and reinvented it.
link? KMT gets deep
No. Absolutely nonsense
@@clavicleofcernunnos exactly what the voices of ignorance say.
Research.
Right. They had color TV and mp3 players too. And microwave dinners.
Quaint. 😉
people think God wiped them out because they were fallen angels but if that was true there wouldn't be any humans alive today, just offsprings of the fallen angels.
i don't know why people want to mimic fallen angels anyway, the term fallen means they CHOSE to betray God, God didn't throw them down to earth, they chose to do it and now we have an earth full of humans in what we call the "human race" although it's not a race because nobody can win.
nope what you fail to realise is they where angels and they came down here to create they're own heaven and so they used heavenly chants mainly om chants, the jangling was annoying too.
I wonder if their music sounded somewhat like traditional Egyptian Bellydance music?
No that's mainly Arabic entirely.
If you want ancient Egyptian listen to coptic music.
This Is Cecil B DeMille's Egypt Not Our KHEMET
if people knew what many of these angels did back then I'm sure they wouldn't want to worship them only a few of the groups back then were kind they remembered what it was to be an angel of God after coming down here and because they realised they were wrong and couldn't go back they tried to make they're own places of worship and live in peace harmony and love a lot of they're places of worship was destroyed by other kings some still remains today and a lot of it is beautiful art about peace flowers and yeah anyway they tried to be good like in heaven and they kept getting wiped out by the other angels/kings who were wanting domination over the people in a bad way, its all in the bible too if you read it right.
so basically that's what everyone is fallen angels and that's why Christians go craaaaazy about save thyself, ummm saving thyself is impossible 😂
This is not it I want the sound of ankh not some one singing
It’s nice but not ankh Frequency
Pharoh vision . look at youtub to pharoh vision and pharoh luxer .
What the hell is Ankh frequency? If you read the description I copied and pasted, they did their research in trying to speculate what ancient Egyptian music might have sounded like. There is no written record to go off of.
I'm sorry to hear that the person who made this music has disappointed exactly You of all these people listening to this. What is the sound of ankh? No Egyptologist have any idea how Ancient Egyptian music sounded like, less even what is the sound of Ankh, which is not even a musical instrument.
Go sit on your crystal.
Very whitewashed interpretation of ancient Egyptian reality
Indeed the whole opera was cringe for me
In white asf Australia. Yeah I don't buy it. Not a single non-white name on this. It's bogus.
And you know this because? Must be the shades.
oh yeah and God sent Jesus down here to warn them back then to stop it stop creating more offspring and they then showed God the reason why they left heaven in the first place they were lost and were not angels anymore and that's why he said God forgive them for they know not what they do. its sad, he remembered they were once angels and he had hope they would change but sadly they never did an never will
This isn't what ancient music sounded like in Kemet. You don't even know the sound of speech. Why even try
