Abstract

The two then went south to the U.A.E. and Oman, where they were the first to excavate and identify the similarly long-lost Magan civilization, which was Dilmun's supplier of the copper ingots transshipped to Ur and elsewhere in Mesopotamia. Bibby’s excavation and identification of Dilmun and Magan clarified the sketchily understood trading relationship among Mesopotamia, Dilmun, Magan, and Meluhha (the Indus Valley civilization, a.k.a. Harappa).
