| Abstract: | The article "Desert Paradise Found" in the Archaeology journal explores the rise and dominance of the ancient kingdom of Dilmun in the Arabian Gulf 4,000 years ago. Dilmun was known for its abundant freshwater springs, which allowed it to thrive as a trading culture between Mesopotamia, Magan, and Meluhha. The Dilmunites acted as intermediaries for trade between these larger civilizations, facilitating the exchange of goods such as copper, diorite, ivory, gold, and lapis lazuli. The kingdom's control over trade eventually declined around 1700 B.C. due to the rise of the First Sealand Dynasty in Mesopotamia and internal conflicts within Dilmun's ruling elite.
