Opis

Packed full of beautiful illustrations and written in a lively style, this serves as an excellent guide to Bahrain's eventful past, a result of its location at an international crossroad, to the history of archaeological research in the country, and to its major sites. Detailed coverage is given to the ancient capital of Dilmun at Qala'at al-Bahrain, the temple complex at Barbar, the innumerable burial mounds which characterise the islands's archaeology, the early Dilmun village of Saar and the early mosque of Al-Khamis.
