The Egyptian civilization, which dates back to 3000 BC, has used a variety of musical instruments in the murals, sculptures and unearthed artifacts in the pyramids (mausoleums). The main musical instruments include the systrum (a kind of metal fork, which is a symbol of religion); two flutes in the shape of avrus - double flutes; a pipa-shaped stringed instrument with 6 to 12 strings on the top , used for weddings and funerals of princes and nobles, military expeditions, etc. It can be seen that music played an important role in the lives of the court nobles. The unearthed papyrus documents also contain information about musical performances.
