The Middle East didn't stop existing after Ancient Times.
Misirlou is probably from the 1920s, or about 45 years before Dick Dale recorded it. It was Ottoman, at least, perhaps Maghrebi. But decidedly a modern piece of music.

  TIL, Misirlou, a music that became famous on the western world with Pulp Fiction, is not actually a composition from Dick Dale, but has ancient origins on the ottoman empire and has been played and sang for ages. Misirlou actually means Egyptian Woman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misirlou #til #todayilearned https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1mbkigf/til_misirlou_a_music_that_became_famous_on_the/
