Dilmun Burial Mounds

Dilmun Burial Mounds (Inscribed)

Dilmun Burial Mounds by Els Slots

We visited most of Bahrain’s T List sites in 2005 and, with Bahrain hosting the 2011 WHC, are interested to guess which (if any) might be inscribed as that country’s “reward”! Could it be the “Hamad Town Tumuli Moundfield” site? Well this site appears to have been superseded by the “Burial sites of Dilmun and Tylos” which includes the mounds around Hamad in tis own right so it isn’t clear why Bahrain has left it on its T List. We saw these but felt that the Aali area provided a better site if you have to choose just 1 (there are plenty to choose from and you are likely to drive past several in getting to one to view in detail).
