Limestone block, 1350 BC, with royal Kassite inscription on 2 sides, written in Akkadian with Sumerian ideograms, a commemorative inscription from the reign of Burna-Busiah II, who ruled 1361-33 BC, found in the Eastern tower of the coastal fortress and displayed in the Qal'at Al-Bahrain Site Museum, near Manama in Bahrain. The inscription could mark the end of the presence of the Babylonian settlers at Qal’at al-Bahrain. It alludes to the palace, the restoration of a sanctuary, and to a detachment of soldiers or workers. The museum was opened in 2008, displaying artefacts of the history and archaeology of the Qal'at al-Bahrain, or Bahrain Fort or Portuguese Fort, built 6th century AD, once the capital of the Dilmun Civilisation. Qal'at al-Bahrain is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
