Question

The early Egyptians are thought to have used what type of scale?

Answer 1

The early Egyptians, being as smart as they where used a interesting method of a sundial. It caught the suns shadow and they where able to use it to tell the time. @Izy323

Answer 2

I think it might have been a heptatonic scale, but there are other types of scales that sound "Egyptian" such as a natural minor scale with an omitted 3rd and 6th or synonymous with Dorian.

Answer 3

I have no idea what the other person said had to do with anything.... I mean considering you put this in music Im assuming you meant a musical scale.
