Revamp work completed at the Dilmun Burial Mounds

The “Dilmun Burial Mounds” Hall at the Bahrain National Museum will re-open on Tuesday following the completion of fiveyear renovation works. The new-look hall features a general idea of what the inside of Dilmun burials looked like and updated information according to the latest archaeological excavations and discoveries. Visitors will learn all these items and data through cutting-edge audio-visual technology used in museums worldwide. Dilmun burial mounds were found across the north and central regions of the country. The civilisation of Dilmun left behind on the main island the heaviest concentration of prehistoric burial grounds any- where on earth, some 80,000 mounds, which were excavated and studied by many archaeological expedition missions, estimating its history back to 2250- 1700 BC.
