P.V. Glob – og oldtidshovedstaden Dilmun på Bahrain og den danske Golfekspedition

The Danish archaeological expedition led by Peter Vilhelm Glob (1953–) uncovered the ancient capital of Dilmun and its surrounding harbor on Bahrain's north coast, a site now recognized as Qal’at al-Bahrain. This discovery, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, traces urban development from 2200 BCE to the construction of the Bahrain Fort in the 15th century CE. The expedition, initially a collaboration between Aarhus Museum and Aarhus University, expanded across the Arabian Gulf region, contributing foundational research still supported by Moesgaard Museum and regional institutions. Key findings include Dilmun's significance as a historical hub, with artifacts now central to national museums in the Gulf.
