    Radio broadcast coming up on the BBC that ties a bit of everything together, the exhibition in Dublin (one of the items mentioned seems to be here.. thankfully), the civil unrest in Egypt.. and history leaping across 2000+ years.

    A great article, covering the upcoming broadcast, below:

    Recreating the sound of Tutankhamun's trumpets By:
    Christine Finn Archaeologist and presenter, Ghost Music
    Tutankhamun's trumpet was one of the rare artefacts stolen from the Cairo Museum during the recent uprising, adding poignancy to a story from the early days of BBC Radio and an attempt to recreate its original sound.
