PAPER 89 - SIN, SACRIFICE, AND ATONEMENT, Oct 19 2000
line 48: Sin was ritual, not rational; an act, not a thought. And this entire concept of sin was fostered by the lingering traditions of Dilmun and the days of a little paradise on earth. The tradition of Adam and the Garden of Eden also lent substance to the dream of a onetime "golden age" of the dawn of the races. And all this confirmed the ideas later expressed in the belief that man had his origin in a special creation, that he started his career in perfection, and that transgression of the taboos--sin--brought him down to his later sorry plight.
PAPER 77 - THE MIDWAY CREATURES, Oct 19 2000
line 69: After the submergence of Dalamatia the Nodites moved north and east, presently founding the new city of Dilmun as their racial and cultural headquarters. And about fifty thousand years after the death of Nod, when the offspring of the Prince's staff had become too numerous to find subsistence in the lands immediately surrounding their new city of Dilmun, and after they had reached out to intermarry with the Andonite and Sangik tribes adjoining their borders, it occurred to their leaders that something should be done to preserve their racial unity. Accordingly a council of the tribes was called, and after much deliberation the plan of Bablot, a descendant of Nod, was indorsed.
line 70: Bablot proposed to erect a pretentious temple of racial glorification at the center of their then occupied territory. This temple was to have a tower the like of which the world had never seen. It was to be a monumental memorial to their passing greatness. There were many who wished to have this monument erected in Dilmun, but others contended that such a great structure should be placed a safe distance from the dangers of the sea, remembering the traditions of the engulfment of their first capital, Dalamatia.
line 74: 2. The next largest faction wanted the tower designed to commemorate the Dilmun culture. They foresaw that Bablot would become a great center of commerce, art, and manufacture.
line 95: And all this explains how the Sumerians appeared so suddenly and mysteriously on the stage of action in Mesopotamia. Investigators will never be able to trace out and follow these tribes back to the beginning of the Sumerians, who had their origin two hundred thousand years ago after the submergence of Dalamatia. Without a trace of origin elsewhere in the world, these ancient tribes suddenly loom upon the horizon of civilization with a full-grown and superior culture, embracing temples, metalwork, agriculture, animals, pottery, weaving, commercial law, civil codes, religious ceremonial, and an old system of writing. At the beginning of the historical era they had long since lost the alphabet of Dalamatia, having adopted the peculiar writing system originating in Dilmun. The Sumerian language, though virtually lost to the world, was not Semitic; it had much in common with the so-called Aryan tongues.
line 96: The elaborate records left by the Sumerians describe the site of a remarkable settlement which was located on the Persian Gulf near the earlier city of Dilmun. The Egyptians called this city of ancient glory Dilmat, while the later Adamized Sumerians confused both the first and second Nodite cities with Dalamatia and called all three Dilmun. And already have archaeologists found these ancient Sumerian clay tablets which tell of this earthly paradise "where the Gods first blessed mankind with the example of civilized and cultured life." And these tablets, descriptive of Dilmun, the paradise of men and God, are now silently resting on the dusty shelves of many museums.
line 97: The Sumerians well knew of the first and second Edens but, despite extensive intermarriage with the Adamites, continued to regard the garden dwellers to the north as an alien race. Sumerian pride in the more ancient Nodite culture led them to ignore these later vistas of glory in favor of the grandeur and paradisiacal traditions of the city of Dilmun.
The Key words that describe Dilmun are

Clues of Dilmun tells me the cultural center adjoins the sea, the tower of Bablot was close to the sea. The tower of Bablot is bigger than anything the world has seen.. It was great commercial center.
Dilmun is to the East of Dalamatia. I had a large farming environment.

A 5000 year old story similar to that of the biblical Garden of Eden, in which the God Enki nibbles forbidden plants on the idyllic island of Dilmun (now Bahrein). Illustration Courtesy of Aramco World,3/4/00
http://www.hebrewhistory.info/factpapers/fp043-1_preislam.htm
Portions of a 5000 year old epic, the story of Gilgamesh, King of Uruk in Mesopotamia. Gilgamesh visited Dilmun a lush island in the Persian Gulf, and termed it “the land of immortality.” It is among the earliest records of contact between the progenitors of the Jews, the Akkadians, and the Arabs. Two millennia later, Babylonian/Jewish traders established colonies along overland trade routes through Arabia to Himyara, and on Dilmun (my view, Later associated with Bahrain, similar to Dilmun being associated with Dalamatia as the population migrated.) and on another island in the Gulf of Aqaba, Yotabe (now Jijban) as staging posts on the way to India and Northwest Africa. The Jews and the Arabs maintained a close and benign relationship throughout the thousand-year pre-Islamic period.
Its certainly and interesting study of ancient Dilmun in the land of Shinar which to me was a wide open plain filled with water. Apparently the Persian Gulf 15,000BC was filled with rivers, swamps and freshwater lakes. However that would of changed when the sea levels arose.
Also I was looking at the following verse of Enkis description of Dilmun.
When you consider the following image of Dilmun does look like a match considering
Quote: "...Uperi, king of Dilmun, whose camp is situated, like a fish, thirty beru (double-hours) away in the midst of the sea of the rising sun..." (p. 334. Potts)
Hymns to Enki, who resided at Eridu, stated that the city was at the edge of _the sea_ and the shadow cast by its fruit trees panted by his shrine fell upon the nearby snake marsh.
The outline of Dilmun does have a North South aspect and if it did reside on a peninsula backed by freshwater bays and quays it would of been literally seen as in the midst of the sea. appearing to be jutting out in the sea of water on spit of land or isthmus. It also makes reference to his shrine which of course was close to the sea on the spit of land within Dilmun. This shrine Enki makes I believe is reference to the tower of Babel being of a circular structure and close to the sea as evident in the images
His fruit trees cast shadows upon his shrine. When you look to the North of the shrine there are walls used for protection farming and produce. The walled section used for produce is next to his shrine, the tower. But also the walls could next to the snake marsh or the marshy swamp area to the North.
Note that Dalamatia has the same rectangular walled area used for growing produce.
Also the City of Dilmun, possibly on a isthmus in the North South aspect looks like a fish, the outline of Dilmun looks like an actual fish. With protection all around. Also the snake marsh could be the depressed area on the eastern side of the walls. It appears that Dilmun was almost surrounded by water, swamp marshes lakes and lagoons. It was a well protected commercial centre.

Enki I believe is giving us a very clear physical description of the City of Dilmun as discovered.
Dilmun which looks like a big fish with the shrine as the eye.
Also does the fish like description has the appearance of an isthmus with a large swamp area close by?
Also Bablot Tower seems to resemble an eye in the faintest sense! What else uses an eye for a symbol? Remembering this place was the first home of the Nodites! The Nodite culture.

Enki, in the swampland, in the swampland, lies stretched out,
He says to his messenger Isimud:
"What is this (plant), what is this (plant)?"His messenger, Isimud, answers him;
"My king, this is the 'tree-plant'," he says to him.
He cuts it off for him and he (Enki) eats it.Enki: "What is this, what is this?"
Isimud: "My king, this is the 'honey-plant'."
He tears it off for him and he eats it.

A number of these Indus Valley seals have turned up at Ur and other Mesopotamian sites. "Persian Gulf" types of circular stamped rather than rolled seals, known from Dilmun, that appear at Lothal in Gujarat, India, and Faylahkah, as well as in Mesopotamia, are convincing corroboration of the long-distance sea trade
Seals depict Enki, God of wisdom and sweet water. Gilgamesh as a massive and heroic figure, the 'Bull of heaven' hat. Ladies of the mountains 'Inanas' servants wearing her triangle signs depicting space for her power. 'Nana' is the moon god who was also named 'sin'. Symbol was the bull of heaven head. Inana, goddess of immortality.
triangle signsFrom the dreams of Gilgamesh, to the philosophy of life. Seals depicting a harmonious life with nature and god . Indisputably the ancient myths of immortality and resurrection influenced Dilmun beliefs and are abundantly supported in the seal designs, represented by gods of the sun and moon.
The Mesopotamian texts described Tilmun as situated at the 'mouth' of two bodies of water.
(Ancient Dalamatia was situated at the mouth of these major river systems, major bodies of water, in between them.)
The texts spoke of mountainous Tilmun.
The cradle of civilization is sometimes referenced by the name Dilmun, or Tilmun. Here, it was said, the god Ea and his wife were placed to institute 'a sinless age of complete happiness'.
Here too animals lived in peace and harmony, man had no rival and the god Enlil `in one tongue gave praise'. It is also described as a pure, clean and `bright' `abode of the immortals' where death, disease and sorrow are unknown and some mortals have been given `life like a god', words reminiscent of the Airyana Vaejah, the realm of the immortals in Iranian myth and legend, and the Eden of Hebraic tradition
Although Dilmun is equated by most scholars with the island of Bahrain in the Persian Gulf, there is evidence to suggest that a much earlier mythical Dilmun was located in a mountainous region beyond the plains of Sumer (in my view North Eastern Persian Gulf flanked by mountains of Iran)
Furthermore, Ea (the Akkadian Enki) was said to have presided over the concourse of Mesopotamia's two greatest rivers - the Tigris and Euphrates - which are shown in depictions as flowing from each of his shoulders.
Dilmun was allegedly a magical land, the birthplace of the gods and the place where the arts of civilization where said first to have been transmitted to men. It was the subject of many legends told by the Sumerians, the people of southern Iraq; it was famed as a land where death and disease were unknown and men and animals lived at peace together.
(It really speaking in truth about Dalamatia)
The first great hero of world literature, Gilgamesh the king of Uruk, journeyed to Dilmun in search of the secret of eternal youth. ( really its Dalamatia)
He found it deep in the waters of the Persian Gulf, off Bahrain, but lost it when the flower which restored the youth of those who sought it, was stolen by a snake, lurking in a pool as Gilgamesh returned to his kingdom; this is the reason why the snake sloughs his skin.
On one ancient tablet dated 3100 B.C. Dilmun is described as an "Elysium" where the inhabitants were eternally young and suffered no illnesses, "where the raven did not croak and wolves and lion did not devour their prey.

Here is a recent addition/connection on 23rd March 07 between Nostradamus and Dilmun, the Elysian fields which includes all the ancient foundations like 1st Eden.

Also there is some intriguing references to the Seventh and the year of accomplishment!

The forces of the sea divided into three parts,
The second one will run out of supplies,
In despair looking for the Elysian Fields, (dilmun direct reference)
The first ones to enter the breach will obtain the victory.
Thinking about this again "The second one will run out of supplies," this could also be a reflection of the under funded 2nd expedition to 1Eden/Atlantis made by Robert Sarmast. Unfortunately there was only enough funds to do a quick scan over one target out of 4 targets. Generally speaking the verse could simply reflect a lack of funds of the 2nd expedition to the ancient foundations..
http://www.crystalinks.com/quatrainscentury10.html
looking at the following one It refers to the great Seventh number, I would think that to mean 2007 not far from the previous Olympic games, or it could also be a direct reference to this seven research by sevens http://www.dalamatiacity.com. It seems to associate the Seventh with the transition into the new age. The Sevenfold is behind the discoveries of the ancient places. Amazing! "When the buried will go out from their tombs" When the research and discoveries are complete who knows what transition will entails. If the Seven commands are found in the ancient foundations as prophesied than anything can happen. The door is open for Paradise to respond, the way is made clear! In each Epochal transition the sleeping personalities are resurrected by the role call of Gabriel.Quote74

Dilmun is described as an "Elysium"
Here is another connection
Elysium
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elysium
- For the band, see Elysium (band).
In Greek mythology, Elysium (Greek: Ἠλύσια πεδία) was a section of the Underworld (the spelling Elysium is a Latinization of the Greek word Elysion). Elysium is an obscure and mysterious name that evolved from a designation of a place or person struck by lightning, enelysion, enelysios.[1] Alternately, scholars have also suggested that Greek Elysion may instead derive from the Egyptian term ialu (older iaru), meaning "reeds," with specific reference to the "Reed fields" (Egyptian: sekhet iaru / ialu), a paradisiacal land of plenty where the dead hoped to spend eternity. Biblical scholars have suggested that Elysion may derive from Elisha, who was, according to Genesis, a son of Yawan (Iouan, forefather of the Ionians) and one of the ancestors of the Greeks. Elisha may have been worshipped as a god by his earliest descendents.
The Elysian fields, or sometimes Elysian plains, were the final resting place of the souls of the heroic and the virtuous. Two Homeric passages in particular established for Greeks the nature of the Afterlife: the dreamed apparition of the dead Patroclus in the Iliad and the more daring boundary-breaking visit in Book 11 of the Odyssey. Greek traditions concerning funerary ritual were reticent, but the Homeric examples encouraged other heroic visits, in the myth cycles centered around Theseus and Heracles.[2]
The Elysian Fields lay on the western margin of the earth, by the encircling stream of Oceanus, and there the mortal relatives of the king of the gods were transported, without tasting death, to enjoy an immortality of bliss (Odyssey 4.563). Lesser spirits were less fortunate: an eerie passage describes the twittering bat-like ghosts of Penelope's slain suitors, led by Hermes:
"down the dank
moldering paths and past the Ocean's streams they went
and past the White Rock and the Sun's Western Gates and past
the Land of Dreams, and soon they reached the fields of asphodel
where the dead, the burnt-out wraiths of mortals make their home"
(Odyssey 24.5-9, translation by Robert Fagles).
Hesiod refers to the Isles of the Blessed (makarôn nêsoi) in the Western Ocean (Works and Days). Pindar makes it a single island. Walter Burkert notes the connection with the motif of far-off Dilmun: "Thus Achilles is transported to the White Isle and becomes the Ruler of the Black Sea, and Diomedes becomes the divine lord of an Adriatic island."[3]
In Elysium were fields of the pale liliaceous asphodel, and poplars grew. There stood the gates that led to the house of Ais (in Attic dialect "Hades").
In Virgil's Aeneid, Aeneas, like Heracles and Odysseus before him, travels to the underworld. Virgil describes an encounter in Elysium between Aeneas and his father Anchises. Virgil's Elysium knows perpetual spring and shady groves, with its own sun and lit by its own stars: solemque suum, sua sidera norunt (Aeneid, 6.541).
I found that very interesting Yavan is connected to the early Greeks, The pre Greeks the Adamson civilisation the civilisation of the eldest son of Adam. The Javans were the Greeks before they became the Greeks and was the 4th son of Japeth who was the 4th and youngest son to Noah. Another word for the Javan(pre Greeks) is young or the Young or perhaps the Younger.
Connection!
addition/connection on 23rd March 07
Another Nostradamus connection to the young, younger or the Javan with ultimately leads back directly to the Adamson Civilisation.
The land of Brittany could be a colony of Britain in today's times! The Vestals could be representative of new truth as opposed to old superseded truth and war could be the change or transition as truth unveils itself.95
The realm left to two they will hold it very briefly,
Three years and seven months passed by they will make war:
The two Vestals will rebel in opposition,
Victor the younger in the land of Brittany.
continuing....
Its interesting how the Dilmun legend was assimilated in the Greek record of their ancient history. Even the description of the location of the Dilmun the The Elysian Fields sounds very similar to the location of Dalamatia and Dilmun within the Persian Gulf.
The Elysian Fields lay on the western margin of the earth, by the encircling stream of Oceanus, and there the mortal relatives of the king of the gods were transported, without tasting death, to enjoy an immortality of bliss (Odyssey 4.563). Lesser spirits were less fortunate: an eerie passage describes the twittering bat-like ghosts of Penelope's slain suitors, led by Hermes:
The Elysian Field was encircled by the Persian Gulf, the encircling stream of the ocean. It was the first place of the Gods Dalamatia. Where they lived for thousands of years of the tree of life and so did some of the mortal helpers. It really seems to describe the location of Dalamatia
"Thus Achilles is transported to the White Isle and becomes the Ruler of the Black Sea, and Diomedes becomes the divine lord of an Adriatic island."
Its funny in the search for Dalamatia I came across the white island, isle of the Gods and immediately I thought of Dalamatia and discovered it. It was latitude 28 that alerted me of the location.
When I read about the Elysian fields I thought straight away of Dalamatia which is represented in the somewhat garbled descriptions of Dilmun.
Which makes me think when Dilmun submerged around 9000 years ago the second last Andite dispersal must of effected the Javans (the Young) of Greeks and influenced there mythology in the tales of the Elysian fields which were really an account of Dalamatia through the eyes of Dilmun when the story was given to the pre Greeks. Remembering from the UB account that Dilmun was the home of the Nodites and rebels to the Fathers Way. All the legends of immortality that speak of Dilmun was taken from the true previous home of the Gods that was very pure and was sinless. Dalamatia!
- "down the dank
- moldering paths and past the Ocean's streams they went
- and past the White Rock and the Sun's Western Gates and past
- the Land of Dreams, and soon they reached the fields of asphodel
- where the dead, the burnt-out wraiths of mortals make their home"
I find the above interesting like White Rock. It could mean the tower of Babel as a marker or it could mean Dalamatia itself. The Suns western gates refers to perhaps the gates of Dalamatia. Dalamatia was protected by a 40 foot wall which included farming areas and one had to be admitted in the place through a gate. The same reasoning applies to Dilmun and its walled enclosures. Then past the "land of dreams" sounds like another description of the true land of the Gods Dalamatia, Then they reach the other side on the other shore. Seems to have all the key markers to the location of the land of the Gods in the North Eastern Persian Gulf where two prefound cities emerged virtually side by side.

The tower of Bablot/Babel link
Tower of Bablot
In the following is accumulated research on Bablot
http://www.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/webglimpse/usr/local/www/data/papers?query=bablot&submit=Submit
Quote: 3. THE TOWER OF BABEL
After the submergence of Dalamatia the Nodites moved north and east, presently founding the new city of Dilmun as their racial and cultural headquarters. And about fifty thousand years after the death of Nod, when the offspring of the Prince's staff had become too numerous to find subsistence in the lands immediately surrounding their new city of Dilmun, and after they had reached out to intermarry with the Andonite and Sangik tribes adjoining their borders, it occurred to their leaders that something should be done to preserve their racial unity. Accordingly a council of the tribes was called, and after much deliberation the plan of Bablot, a descendant of Nod, was indorsed.
Bablot proposed to erect a pretentious temple of racial glorification at the center of their then occupied territory. This temple was to have a tower the like of which the world had never seenIt was to be a monumental memorial to their passing greatness. .
There were many who wished to have this monument erected in Dilmun, but others contended that such a great structure should be placed a safe distance from the dangers of the sea, remembering the traditions of the engulfment of their first capital, Dalamatia.
Bablot planned that the new buildings should become the nucleus of the future center of the Nodite culture and civilization. His counsel finally prevailed, and construction was started in accordance with his plans. The new city was to be named Bablot after the architect and builder of the tower. This location later became known as Bablod and eventually as Babel.
But the Nodites were still somewhat divided in sentiment as to the plans and purposes of this undertaking. Neither were their leaders altogether agreed concerning either construction plans or usage of the buildings after they should be completed. After four and one-half years of work a great dispute arose about the object and motive for the erection of the tower. The contentions became so bitter that all work stopped. The food carriers spread the news of the dissension, and large numbers of the tribes began to forgather at the building site. Three differing views were propounded as to the purpose of building the tower.
1. The largest group, almost one half, desired to see the tower built as a memorial of Nodite history and racial superiority. They thought it ought to be a great and imposing structure which would challenge the admiration of all future generations.
2. The next largest faction wanted the tower designed to commemorate the Dilmun culture. They foresaw that Bablot would become a great center of commerce, art, and manufacture.
Page 859 3. The smallest and minority contingent held that the erection of the tower presented an opportunity for making atonement for the folly of their progenitors in participating in the Caligastia rebellion. They maintained that the tower should be devoted to the worship of the Father of all, that the whole purpose of the new city should be to take the place of Dalamatia--to function as the cultural and religious center for the surrounding barbarians.
The religious group were promptly voted down. The majority rejected the teaching that their ancestors had been guilty of rebellion; they resented such a racial stigma. Having disposed of one of the three angles to the dispute and failing to settle the other two by debate, they fell to fighting. The religionists, the noncombatants, fled to their homes in the south, while their fellows fought until well-nigh obliterated.
About twelve thousand years ago a second attempt to erect the tower of Babel was made. The mixed races of the Andites (Nodites and Adamites) undertook to raise a new temple on the ruins of the first structure, but there was not sufficient support for the enterprise; it fell of its own pretentious weight. This region was long known as the land of Babel.
I felt that was interesting and there is some good clues.
Like the religious group who fled to the South to there homes. This tells me that Dilmun must of had land to the south adjoining a coastline. It was a North/South city with the sea to the east.
Its interesting that a 2nd attempt to erect Babel was made on the first foundations. Is that to mean that the ancient land Dilmun was above water?? 12,000 years ago?
Note that 12,000 years ago the sea level was lower and maybe the ancient lands of Dilmun was above water. Dilmun must of been on a higher level than Dalamatia.
It seems Dilmun, east of the ruins of Dalamatia was occupied up to 12,000 years ago. However since then the sea level has rose and submerged the ancient place Dilmun.
Here is a image of what I think is the foundations of Bablot/Babel and including clues of the general area. Dilmun must been built in a North South fashion and was next to a sea.
It must of been on the Eastern Persian Gulf which is now submerged.

Im still thinking about it more
Its interesting that the timeline and the sea levels 12,000 ago seems to be right
quote:
Sea levels 12,000 years ago
World coasts have seen sea-level variation of approximately 100 metres within the past 11,500 years through melting of the ice caps. When the ice caps melt the sea level rises globally (eustatically). The relative sea-level at any location is measured proportionate to the nearby land, which is itself subject to tectonic movement both up and down.
and
Wikipedia Deluge
In the relatively recent geological past, several great floods are widely suspected to have occurred, with varying amounts of supporting evidence, usually as a result of the last Ice Age ending.
At the most recent glacial maximum, so much of the planet's water was locked up in the vast ice-sheets that formed ice domes kilometers thick, that the sea level dropped by about 120 to 130 meters. As the sheets melted starting around 18,000 years ago sea levels rose. Most of the glacial melt had occurred by around 8,000 years ago, but the changes have not been as regular as a constant drip at the edges of the world's glaciers might suggest.
So it seems to me that 1st Dilmun was above water 12,000 years ago and was occupied. Considering the present ruins isn't that far under the current sea level. This is around the times when the Harrappan coastline cities where lost due to increasing sea levels.
Dilmun from what I can see was a huge cultural and commercial center.

Here is something that seems to indicate an earlier position of Dilmun near the North Eastern cost of the Persian Gulf

Just as cuneiform sources situate Dilmun and Magan on the western shore of the Persian Gulf, recent scholarship has favored locating the region of Mishime (Miæima), attested in pre-Sargonic and Old Akkadian sources, or P/Bashime, as it was generally known in Old Akkadian, Ur III and Old Babylonian texts, along the northeastern coast of the Gulf, roughly between Bushehr and the Shatt al-Arab (ˆatÂt al-¿Arab) estuary (Steinkeller, 1982, pp. 240-2) or possibly more precisely in the area of Bandar-e Deylam (e.g. Vallat, 1993, p. CXXVI). Mishime is first attested during the reign of Eannatum of Lagash (ca. r. 2450-25 BCE) who, in addition to conquering Elam, claims to have raided and destroyed Mishime (Sollberger and Kupper, 1971, pp. 58-59; Selz, 1991, pp. 34,
For me personally I think Bahrain is a second Dilmun which transferred from Dilmun of North Eastern Persian Gulf Iran I believe Iran Dilmun is the first Dilmun.
I wonder what scholarly information leads them to Dilmun on the North Eastern in section of the gulf?

Hi
That was beautiful. I really enjoy reading the Adventures of Robert Sarmast. If it wasn't for him all this type of research wouldn't of happened. I'm glad he walked in faith and went out there and found 1stEden/Atlantis. I was so inspired by his efforts that it lead me to search for Eden in the Bible and through other scripts which simply led to where I'm at right now. On the shores of Dalamatia, Dilmun and Babel, how fantastic is that!!
I wish Robert Sarmast all the best in all he does in uncovering truth. Robert Sarmast is the biggest history changer around. Where no ones dares to venture to, he goes there and does stuff!
Currently, I'm researching the sea level at around 12,000 years ago to make sure Dilmun was above water.

and some aspects of Dilmun found in tablets
web page
"...Bit-Iakin on the shore of the Bitter Sea, as far as Dilmun's border- all these I brought under one rule..." (p. 335. Potts)
"...Uperi, king of Dilmun, whose camp is situated, like a fish, thirty beru (double-hours) away in the midst of the sea of the rising sun..." (p. 334. Potts)
Hymns to Enki, who resided at Eridu, stated that the city was at the edge of _the sea_ and the shadow cast by its fruit trees panted by his shrine fell upon the nearby snake marsh.
The Mesopotamians called the salt-marshes marattu meaning "bitter" (marah = bitter), perhaps the Hawr Hammar preserves in Arabic the earlier Mesopotamian marattu ?
(Seems to match dilmun submerged Northeastern Persian Gulf.)
I wonder what scholarly information leads them to Dilmun on the North Eastern in section of the gulf?

Archaeologists said that radiocarbon dating was not yet precise enough to establish whether einkorn or emmer wheat or barley was the first cereal to be domesticated. All three domestications occurred in the Fertile Crescent, probably within decades or a few centuries of each other. It was a hybrid of emmer and another species from the Caspian Sea area that produced the first bread wheat.
Dr. Bruce D. Smith, an archaeobiologist at the Smithsonian Institution and author of "The Emergence of Agriculture," published two years ago by the Scientific American Library, praised the research as another notable example of new technologies' being applied in trying to solve some of archaeology's most challenging problems. The einkorn findings, he said, made sense because they "fit pretty well with archaeological evidence."
Not far from the volcanic Karacadag Mountains and also to the south, across the border in northern Syria, archaeologists have exposed the ruins of prefarming settlements and early agricultural villages that appear to have existed only a few centuries apart in time. Sifting the soil turned up seeds of both wild and cultivated einkorn wheat. The ruins of Abu Hureyra, an especially revealing Syrian site on the upper Euphrates River, contained firm evidence of einkorn farming more than 10,000 years ago. The European research team also pointed to this archaeological evidence as supporting its conclusion that the domestication of einkorn wheat began in the Karacadag area.

Here is a thread on the road to Dilmun in the journey to the ancient places

The Paradise-Dilmun (for a lack of a better term) is described as the "place where the sun rises" so it would have to be to the east of Sumer
