History of Bahrain
Early civilisation
Anyone with the mildest interest in history cannot help but be curious about the civilisation that left behind 85, 000 burial mounds that lump, curdle and honeycomb 5% of the island’s landmass. Standing atop a burial mound at A’Ali, it is easy to imagine that the people responsible for such sophisticated care of their dead were equally sophisticated in matters of life. And, indeed, such was the case. Although Bahrain has a Stone-Age history that dates back to 5000 BC, and evidence of settlement from 10, 000 BC, it has recently been confirmed by archaeologists as the seat of the lost and illustrious empire of Dilmun, the influence of which spread as far north as modern Kuwait and as far inland as the Al-Hasa Oasis in eastern Saudi Arabia.
