This English archaeologist is renowned for his discovery of the ancient state of Dilmun, a mythological paradise of Mesopotamian civilizations. His work uncovered crucial insights into ancient cultures, from the fabled Dilmun to the bog peoples of Stone and Bronze Age Europe. He explored the mysteries of the past with a passion that transports readers to different worlds and times.
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.
Die erste vollständige Geschichte, im Licht überraschender neuer Entdeckungen, über die langsame Ausbreitung einer Reihe von "barbarischen" Stämmen nördlich der Alpen, die zeigt, wie die Vorgeschichte zur Geschichte im Herzen Europas wird.
