Dilmun or Telmun often is associated with several mythological connotations. Often it is said that this is the land where sun rises. Dilmun is acknowledged as an island in the Persian Gulf. This mythical land of Dilmun is graced as the garden of Paradise which is undoubtedly a fresh, flawless, dazzling and shiny region. This place is devoid of illness or disease, hostility or brutality as well as geezerhood. According to the popular notion the garden of Dilmun is created without water, which is in due course provided by Enki, the popular Sumerian God of water. It is also believed that the garden of Dilmun was just created for the pleasure of Gods, no mortal beings are allowed there.
“Dilmun” is derived from a Sumerian term. In ancient history Dilmun is referred as a business hub of Sumerian trade and industry, when it was a transportation spot for merchandising Copper and a range of other items between the Indus Valley and Sumer.
At present the National Museum in Bahrain evaluates and concludes that its "Golden Age" lasted from 2200 - 1600 BC. Dilmun's declination commenced from the time period when the Indus Valley civilization abruptly and inexplicably caved in, in the mid of 2nd millennium BC.
Several traces of Neolithic human cultures in Dilmun arrived from flint tools and weapons. Various scripted records suggest that the terra firma of Dilmun was linked with ancient Sumerian, Persian, Greek as well as Akkadian references.
