Sorry, best we can do now is Fanfare for the C'mon Man.

You’re one in a million mate 😉

Not quite. There are human-made musical instruments that go back much further than Tutankhamun - lyres, flutes and reeded pipes discovered among grave goods from ancient Egypt and Sumeria. The oldest human-made instruments yet discovered are bone flutes from a cave in Germany that are dated to thirty thousand years ago. But they are prehistoric, I agree with you there.

What about the Sumerian instruments? Made even before the Egyptians existed.

I think they may be the oldest playable instruments, even though the Egyptian Museum no longer allows demonstrations like this due to their fragility.

@@SamCogley They just didn't make things to last back then.

Well there is a series of mysterious incidents that might be seen as diabolic coinsidences (pretty similar to the deaths of those who opened the tomb). First, during the recording session (this one we hear here), the lights fell off in a total black out so they had to make the recording in candle light. A little later, World War II errupted. In 1967, the trumpets were blown again and not even a month later errupted the Arab-Israeli war. In 1991, a student was doing an academic research and blew the trumpets and then a little later (almost the same amount of time later) errupted the Gulf War. Taking under consideration the legend that said that the trumpets would bring war whenever they were blown, did help these rumors to spread even further and connect the erruptions of these wars to the playing of the trumpets. Of course since there is always a war going on in this planet, there is no wonder that such things did happen by coincidence but then again the unexplainable always exists so people might as well consider even the slightest bit of possibilities that any of these curse stories might be true

@@katerinaaqu holy shit

@@heftymagic4814 Yeah. Crazy ain't it?

@@katerinaaqu a trumpet that makes Muslims die? Woah, ancient Egyptian tech is incredible.

@@cowjuicy the top Kemetic scientists of the time put decades of research into this technology- unfortunately for them, the trumpets were miscalibrated and targets a religion that didn't exist yet, instead of Nubians and Jews like the great Pharaoh demanded.

That would have ben cool ! Sadly, you need a modern valved instrument to play that kind of music. These 'natural' trumpets don't have enough notes !

They didn't say that it was Egyptian music. They are Egyptian instruments.

They chose a march to play on the trumpets. Their goal was just to record their sound, not to play music from the time the trumpets were originated from. Besides, we have no notation from ancient Egyptian music so we have no idea how ancient music might have sounded like, even if there are some really valid suggestions by researchers.

this is probably the only thing it can play, due to how the trumpets are built. their structure are not that different from modern military bugles, there is no way they can play anything that's stereotypically "Egyptian" on them.

Yeah. They should’ve played the CDs in the tomb first and played those tunes.

They should have played Walk Like An Egyptian

Great news, whatever device you’re listening to it on has a volume button!
