迪尔穆恩古坟群

迪尔穆恩墓葬群于公元前2050年至1750年间建成，位于巴林西部，包含21个遗产点。其中6个遗产点是由数十至数千个坟冢组成的墓园，这些墓园内共有11774座低圆柱形坟墓。其余15个遗产点内则有17座王室双层墓塔。这些墓葬群是公元前2世纪的早期迪尔穆恩文明的遗存。当时的巴林已成为重要的商业中心，城市的繁荣催生了适用于所有居民的复杂墓葬传统。这些墓群的数量、密度和规模在全球范围均属罕见，其某些细节（如带凹壁的墓室）亦是极具特色。

The Dilmun Burial Mounds, built between 2050 and 1750 BCE, span over 21 archaeological sites in the western part of the island. Six of these sites are burial mound fields consisting of a few dozen to several thousand tumuli. In all there are about 11,774 burial mounds, originally in the form of cylindrical low towers. The other 15 sites include 17 royal mounds, constructed as two-storeyed sepulchral towers. The burial mounds are evidence of the Early Dilmun civilization, around the 2nd millennium BCE, during which Bahrain became a trade hub, whose prosperity enabled the inhabitants to develop an elaborate burial tradition applicable to the entire population. These tombs illustrate globally unique characteristics, not only in terms of their number, density and scale, but also in terms of details such as burial chambers equipped with alcoves.
