Dead Can Dance produced a lot of music that was meant to sound ancient and mysterious. I recall Knott's Berry Farm used some DCD stuff in their old Nightmares maze, which worked really nicely in an ancient temple scene. Their stuff doesn't really sound like it comes from anywhere in particular - it could meld into just about any ancient Mediterranean culture. Many of their songs do have english lyrics, which you probably want to avoid. I'll give my couple DCD CD's a listen and try to identify some tracks that may work for you. I'll list appropriate songs on this thread in a day or two (not really in the right mood/energy level to listen to their stuff at the moment
). I just looked them up on iTunes and if you use that program, there are quite a few offerings there. The actual albums also seem to be readily available.
I'd also second Nox Arcana and Midnight Syndicate as good sources, too. I can't say I particularly remember those movie soundtracks, but they may have potential.
