KAMAL EL MALAKH, DR. IBRAHIM AHMED & GAMAL SALAMA - THE STORY OF TUTANKHAMUN

The story of Tutankhamun, The Golden Pharaoh, son in law of the heretic king Akhenaten.... Written by Kamal El Malakh and translated in English by Dr. Ibrahim Ahmed, music composed by Gamal Salama....

Some of the oldest instruments known to man were employed in recording the musical score... These instruments now exist only as museum pieces... The exceptional instruments employed as well as the tune in the recording date as far back as the days of Traditional Egyptian Pharaonic musis, slowly becoming extinct nowadays.

What a cool album! This came out in 1973, comes with a lovely booklet with beautiful pictures and the story about discovering and excavating the tomb of Tutankhamun as told by Howard Carter who discovered and excavated the tomb with Lord Carnarvon and his daughter, Lady Evelyn Herbert in 1922.... Tutankhamun's life, what we know about it, is told also....

Takes me back to the early 80's, watching Egyptologist/historian John Romer's fantastic BBC series Ancient Lives which I watched again on Youtube some months ago, reading loads of books on the subject (philosopher Paul Brunton's beautiful book A Search In Secret Egypt comes to mind)....
