Music
   No textual information has survived on ancient Egyptian music, but original instruments have been recovered, and musical instruments are depicted on tomb reliefs. Music was used as a background for songs and hymns and for dancing in a religious context or at private banquet functions. The musical instruments of the period included the flute, depicted in the Old Kingdom; the double clarinet of the Old Kingdom, which was replaced in the New Kingdom by the double oboe; harps of various types; lyres and lutes introduced from the Levant in the New Kingdom; drums; and tambourines. Hand clapping and clappers were also used for rhythm. The trumpet was used in militray contexts and the sistrumin religious ceremonies.
