Our music is solely Egyptian and is NOT influenced by foreign culture but our dancing techniques and tradition is mainly from Nubia. Since our New Kingdom (now) has started though, there have been changes in use of musical instruments and the sound qualities.

Hunting
The pharaoh also goes hunting. He would have some nobles and a few professionals with him when going hunting. They would wait for animals to go by at the waterhole.
We hunt animals as a source of food and as a sport.(see below)
If you nobles like hunting, here's some advice for you:
Peasants and farmers:
There are plenty of fish in the River Nile, so you can hunt there. (it is much cheaper). You can dry the fish to get your dried fish meat. Bread, beer and vegetables are other food, but cannot be hunted for (sorry). Refer to the Food and Cooking section if you are feeling hungry for more information.
Although fishing WAS quite important in the Old Kingdom and the New Kingdom, along with our papyrus canoes and harpoons at the ready, we can use our rods instead! (much easier)
There are potentially many dangers when you fo fishing. There are poisonous catfish and the crcodile. Back in those days, if your boat capsized, the crocodile(monster of the Nile) could have devoured you. Now we are safe from it.

If you nobles like hunting, here's some advice for you:
- Throw sticks or boomerangs at the birds.
- If trying to get rid of those stupendous hippos, lasso them then use your harpoon to either stab it or just kill it.
- If you're totally brave, hunt the annoying crocodiles.
- To make life easier, learn more about their mating habits, diet, diseases and personal characteristics.
- Lure a large number of prey near a waterhole then attack them with a volley of arrows.
- Use greyhounds or even tame cheetahs to help you.
- Use a number of different tools (more variety): arrows, spears, nets, boomerang(for the birds),etc.
- Our Egypt provides you with fish, fowl and meat.
- Remember, different animals have to be hunted in different ways (as shown above)
