Bat referred to as Dilmun

[edit]

There doesn't seem to be any evidence of Bat being referred to as Dilmun. There are references to Dilmun in ancient texts, and Bat does exist, but I can't find anything that links them together. This article (https://popular-archaeology.com/article/archaeologists-excavate-ancient-bronze-age-remains-in-oman/) explores the possibility that these sites where in Magan (civilization).

I propose that the sentence "Several Sumerian texts, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh, called it Dilmun." be removed from the article. There is potential to replace it with a sentence referring to the possible Bat-Magan link, but it is much more important to remove misinformation than to add hypotheses.

Any objections?
