Someone just asked on the TWC board about the "Semitic" title of the music. I should have mentioned that in the preview itself, but this is a good place to do it: this is the carthaginian music. But we don't have any carthaginian music left, and very little idea what the heck it was like. So most of our cues and ideas came from music through the Levant, traditional Jewish and Arabian music basically to give us ideas (after all, that is what Carthaginian music had to have been like, since they were from there).
