Dilmun was a land that extended beyond the borders of Bahrain, reaching as far north as Kuwait and as far south as Saudi Arabia. The search for the true Dilmun began when the author revisited Bahrain to explore the thousands of undated burial mounds throughout the country. A year of excavations confirmed the existence of a significant civilization dating back to around 2300 BC. This fascinating book about discoveries narrates the story of archaeological detective work with style and humor.
