Time to celebrate across the Gulf shores the National Day of #bahrain 🇧🇭 , a unique insular kingdom which shaped the early Dilmun civilisation. A number of scholars have suggested that Dilmun originally designated the eastern province of modern #saudiarabia 🇸🇦 , notably linked with the major Dilmunite settlements of Umm an-Nussi and Umm ar-Ramadh in the interior and Tarout on the coast. Dilmun encompassed Bahrain 🇧🇭, Kuwait 🇰🇼 ,and the eastern portion regions of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 . This area is certainly what is meant by references to "Dilmun" among the lands conquered by King Sargon II and his descendants. #dilmun #island #almoujmuscat (à Almouj Marina - the Wave, Muscat.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXlCuN9N0l7/?utm_medium=tumblr
