History
The origin of the term Darbuka lies in the rural Egyptian Arabic slang word that changed “darb” meaning “to strike” into “darabuka”.
Goblet drums have been around for thousands of years and were used in Mesopotamian and Ancient Egyptian cultures. They were also seen in Babylonia and Sumer from as early as 1100 BCE. On Sulawesi, large goblet drums are used as temple instruments and placed on the floor when played, which may reflect ancient use of the drum.

P.S.
And of course the above is not a relic of Ancient Egypt. It already uses nuts and is also made in Taiwan. Don’t be too serious bro..
