Egyptian music and instruments

Music has no doubt shaped Egyptian culture greatly. The ancient Egyptians credited one of their gods, 
Thoth, with the invention of music, which another god,Osiris, in turn used to civilize the world. Various instruments have been founded dating back thousands of years in Egypt, many of which resemble modern Egyptian  instruments. Some popular genres of Egyptian music include Coptic, Saidi and Nubian
