The awards allow us to take a moment to reflect on and appreciate the incredible ANCIENT EGYPT e Southampton Ancient Egypt Society (SAES) next meeting from 1.30pm for a 2pm start will be on Saturday 18th December for Dr. Heidi Köpp- Junk ‘Music in Ancient Egypt and its Beginnings - Latest Research in Music Archaeology (this lecture includes live music.)’ In the Old Kingdom, a great number of textual and iconographic documents refer to music and musicians, and even a complex hierarchy of musicians. Music was not only an entertaining factor, but played a major role in ritual context, be it in temples or tombs, and at the royal court. e earliest evidence for music in Egypt is much older and dates back to the 5th millennium BC. e lecture, showing the current research results of ancient Egyptian music archaeology, deals with the origins in Neolithic, Predynastic and Early Dynastic Times that allowed the development of the complex system as attested in the Old kingdom. Dr. Heidi Köpp-Junk holds a doctorate in Egyptology, is a music archaeologist and a trained singer (opera, art song). e Society are meeting over Zoom at the moment due to COVID-19 restrictions.
