The Ancient trade post of Bahrain

The Ancient trade port of Dilmun was a key stepping stone on the trade routes of the Indian Ocean. The history of this trade port is long and features epic highs and deep lows. How did this little island become such a rich trade hotspot?

A very good and brief history of the ancient world. I have been to Bahrain (Tylos, Dilmun) and spent years in the UAE and Oman. In the UAE and Oman, we saw the ancient copper mines, quite incredeble as these were used to make the bronze weapons, utensils and various implements of the time.

That's really interesting I'm from Bahrain and I didn't know greeks ruled bahrain until now, Cool animation but I have to mention that people used to live mostly in the north for it used to be full of water springs and greens

[@ShubhamMishrabro]

😱😱😱 thanks for informing

[@sephikong8323]

I have a good rule of thumb : if you live around the Mediterranean, Black Sea or the Middle East, assume the Greeks ruled and settled your land at some point until proven otherwise

[@user-ws7us2on6g]

The Greeks did not rule Bahrain

[@bigbadliko59]

I'm Greek but my mother is Turkish and Bahraini

@@bigbadliko59 that is really cool, do you know she is from where in bahrain?

Dilmun was the whole east of Arabia (later called Bahrain)not until 200 years ago this changed to the small island when Khalifa family conquered it.

It's even better the second time watching

Must be because of the 4K feature

[@bigbadliko59]

History is my favorite subject and I love to see how the middle east people are different but all similar in many ways, you can see the Greek influence in the middle east but also see the middle east influence in Greece as well

[@HistorywithCy]

Good stuff...love your maps and animations. Great job!

I have just ONE question. Where did the fresh water come from in order for Dilmun to survive?

[@SOPHIA-yf7ws]

I lived in Bahrain. You might know that it means two seas. It is said that there is a spring (s) of fresh water going out and it might be mixed with the sea water. An ancient legend says that a fairy princess whenever she hits the land with her feet more fresh water comes out....

[@uniuni8855]

Can we draw line from Dilmun to the Azures islands and see what happens ? 🐚

[@ARTiculations]

Calum your voice sounds nice.

Any naval relics of any part of any ancient period in time?

Interesting video! I too have done some research about this topic, an would dedicate my video to royal family of Bahrain, hoping His Majesty appreciate. Check "the earthly paradise was it in the persian gulf?"

[@louisemmanuelmorente3978]

How about the Medieval era of Dilmun/Tylos?

[@stefanioansbarcea8948]

Where are the historical models characters taken from?

[@mdhall04]

Is that imperium rome?

[@Akei51]

So many wrong information, first of all dilmun was a large kingdom that spanned around eastern arabia from today’s kuwait till qatar, which area was later known as bahrain during the sasanian empire where the king was munzir ibn sawa, even after the islamic conquest, and the island of bahrain which was known as awal was also always part of greater bahrain (eastern arabia) during medival times + greek never ruled bahrain.
