I've posted about this before, but for those who missed it, here it is again: "Music professor Dr. Khairy El-Malt has been calling for a national project to revive ancient Egyptian music for a dozen years now, and it seems his dreams are finally coming true. Last month, the Supreme Council for Antiquities and the Faculty of Musical Education of Helwan University agreed to make it possible for music students to acquire a graduate diploma in ancient Egyptian music, with classes set to begin in September 2006.

Classes for the diploma will take place in the evenings, and include subjects such as ballet, music, anthropology and philosophy."
