It is a cemetery of the third millenium, B. C. Sepul- chral mounds, seven miles from Manaweh, which have been exc: vated, have revealed hurial chum- bers and cells containing decayved wooden pegs so arranzed as to sug. gest that the wardrobes of the dead were hung there for use In after life. The large tombs showed signs of having been robbed of valuable objects. The small tombs were intact. Pottery, ivory, shells, ar. rowheads and spearheads were found in them, but there was no trace of gold or silver. An ivory statuette of a woman shows high artigtic talent Dr. MacKay says it Is not impos. sible that Bahrein was the island where the Sumerians originated.
