A 'live' performance of a traditional Egyptian folk song from Port Said...played on a replica Bronze Age ancient Egyptian lyre! 
The lyre featured in this video, is a replica to the same dimensions, of an actual surviving ancient Egyptian lyre, amazingly preserved at Leiden:

Dating to the 18th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, between around 1500 -1300 BC, this lyre could once have even been originally played during the reign of Tutankhamun himself

The lyre was skillfully custom-made for me, by Luthieros:

The song was originally arranged for solo lyre, in my 2009 album, "An Ancient Lyre":
