That has me wondering how much is known of music in the ancient world and transmission of instruments and music across broader distances.
A favourite topic of mine, you should hear my collection of 1920's music, not so ancient but fun!
The ancient Egyptians left us no transcriptions of tunes, but we know they strongly effected musicians in Greece, Europe and even so far as the Orient, and we know most of their instruments.
Ancient Rome left us quite a lot of transcribed pieces, this is my favourite YT channel for listening to that, i love the fact you know you are hearing it just as it sounded 2K years or more ago :
