【Close-Up Exhibition】KOFUN in Bahrain – Excavations of a Tumulus Cluster at Maqaba
Since 2016, excavations of a tumulus cluster at Maqaba in Bahrain aim to investigate the influence of ancient Palmyra (present Syrian Arab Republic) on Bahrain during the Tylos period (330BC-629AD).
It is believed that this project will facilitate understanding of how ancient Palmyra influenced ancient Bahrain during the Tylos period.
