Diraz Temple

No concrete evidence has been found to determine which god(s) the temple was dedicated for.

The architectural characteristics are unique not only in Bahrain (see Barbar Temple for comparison), but also when compared to Mesopotamian or Indus Valley temple sites from a similar era.

[1] Diraz Temple dates to circa 3rd millennium BCE based on the recovered artifacts from the site among which are a snake vessel, Barbar potteries, and two Dilmun seals with animal figures.

To the West, a damaged grave dating to 2nd millennium BCE has been found with the remains of a human body.
