Painted wooden stela from Wedjahor Dynasty. ‘Overseer of Singers of Amun’ is playing his harp before Re-Horakthy. Re is the Sun God, representing the power of creation. Amun was the God of air. With that in mind, to me this image invites contemplation on the interplay and connectivity of principles we today call electromagnetic energy+photons+sound energy.
In ancient Egypt, music, architecture and astronomy were all seen as complimentary expressions of universal truths, sharing the same divine principles.
We are only just beginning to understand the scope of how some ancient Egyptians were extremely knowledgeable about the workings of the universe.
For example, did you know that they, according to one papyrus text from around 1400 B.C.E., were able to discern both if a woman was with child and what the sex of that child would be, by mixing the urine of the woman with two difference bags of barley and wheat?
If the grain sprouted she was with child, and depending on what grain sprouted first they could determine the sex.
It has since been proven that this method has a very high rate of accuracy.

Ancient Egyptians in the know seem to have viewed reality in a way where they understood that the workings of both heaven and earth impacted each other.
Harmony in all realms could be better achieved by a myriad of rituals that involved music, toning or sound.
Being aware that these rituals would take place in mathematically perfect temples in which the location mirror the location of heavenly bodies (awareness of astronomy), unveils a system where science, music and religion were complimenting each other.
We are re-discovering these truths of universal frequency today.
The architecture and acoustics of some of the ancient Egyptian temples seem to correspond with the frequency of the human body and chakra system, further demonstrating the awareness of the importance of ‘the music of the universe’ and the interplay of ‘the music of the universe’ with ‘the music in man’.
The first example that comes to mind is the research of of Schwaller de Lubicz and later John Anthony West at the Temple of Luxor.
