Listening to the Solimon Gamil album now. Thanks for digging this up! I have no idea whether this is actually what ancient Egyptian music sounded like and I guess there's no way to know. A lot of it is decidedly Arab in flavor, some sounds almost southeast Asian.
Are you familiar with groups like Heilung and Warduna? They have attempted to reconstruct Bronze Age European music using instruments found in archealogical digs, runic texts, and academic reconstructions of proto-Germanic based on modern languages. That is probably a worthy topic for your project!
