Comments: An excellent site! I grew up in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia in the 50's through the 70's, and was able to travel extensively. Something that struck me was that we had assumed the ancient ruins and pottery and glass that we found all along the Pursian Gulf coast were extensions of the Sumerian culture. But I think you are correct, when you say there were scattered communities of the Indus Valley civilization on the Arabian Peninsula and Bahrain. Some of the things we found bear a striking resemblance to what I found on your site. The people to contact would be The King Abdulaziz Foundation For Research and Archives, in Riyadh. The Saudi Government is just waking up to the amazing, long, and diverse heritage they posse
