Editorial Review:

Product Description:

This comprehensive, well-illustrated history of the Bahrain Islands fills a major gap in our knowledge of the archaeology of the Middle East. Home to the ancient civilizations of Dilmun and Tylos, Bahrain was one of the most significant cultural areas in the region and its pre-eminence as a trading center brought it enormous wealth, reflected in the buildings and artifacts that have been excavated in recent years. Many of these objects and sites have never been published before and Traces of Paradise reveals an extraordinary range of materials.

- An excellent resource on the ancient Persian Gulf
Some ancient Sumerian writings speak of the island of Dilmun, a paradise created specially by the gods as a holy garden. And other Sumerian writings speak of the merchants of Dilmun, who transport rare and precious commodities from far off lands. This fascinating book was written to accompany an Institute of Archaeology exhibition of artifacts from Dilmun/Bahrain.

The book divides Bahrain's history into four eras - The Dilmun Culture (2500-1800 BC), the Middle of the Second Millennium BC, the Iron Age (1000-500 BC), and the Tylos Culture (300 BC - 600 AD). Information is presented on a number of different topics, and along the way the reader is treated to many different colorful pictures of various artifacts, along with their very informative captions.

As a student of the ancient Persian Gulf region, I must say that I found this book to be an excellent resource. If you are interested in the ancient Persian Gulf, then I really do think that you should read this fascinating book.
