Failaka Island is an island in Kuwait, located at the entrance to
Kuwait Bay, 20 kilometers off the coast of Kuwait City, near the outlet of the
Tigris and Euphrates The Persian legolfe. It has an area of 43 km2, measuring
approximately 14 kilometers by 5 kilometers.
Ancient history
Several archaeological excavations have uncovered traces of ancient
occupations on the island of Failaka. They were led by Danish, American, French
and Slovak teams in connection with Kuwaiti archaeologists. The earliest known
ones date back to about 2000 BC. J.-C. (Age of the Middle Bronze Age). It is a
group of residences in the south-west of the island, dominated by a sanctuary
on the terrace and a tower-like building, adjacent to a large residence built
to the north and Artisanal installations with ovens where copper was worked ceramic
or even stone. Inscriptions indicate that the temple is dedicated to the
divinity Inzak, known as the main god of the country of Dilmun, a Persian Gulf
border region that served as a transit port in the maritime trade at that time.
The island of Bahrain is generally identified as Dilmun, but it is possible
that the Mesopotamians also designated other Gulf islands, including Failaka
(but also Tarut). In fact, the material culture of this period, including the
seal seals, is characteristic of the cultures of the Gulf, while presenting
contacts with Mesopotamia, Iran, Oman, the Indus Valley, Egypt and even
Anatolia, thus revealing the importance of the commercial networks in which
Failaka Island was taken at that time.
Trade in the Persian Gulf has been declining since the 18th century
BC. J.-C., causing the fall of the culture of Dilmun. In the 14th century BC.
BC, Failaka and Bahrain are temporarily incorporated into the kingdom of
Babylon, then ruled by the Kassite dynasty. In the levels of the first half of
the 1st millennium BC. J. de Failaka, a stela written by Nebuchadnezzar II was
found, and a bowl dedicated by the same king to the local temple, proving the
Babylonian hold on this place had resumed at that time. An indication of
occupation in the following period, that of the dominion of the
Persesachemenides (539-331 BC) was found in the center of the island at Tell
Khazneh, sheltering the ruins of a temple.
The island was visited by Greeks in the 3rd century BC. BC, during
the passage of Nearque (who did not stop in Bahrain) at the head of the fleet
of Alexander the Great. It was called at that time Ikaros, according to the
Greek island to which it resembles, while Dilmun bore at the same time the
Greek name of Tylos. During the Hellenistic period (3rd and 2nd centuries BC),
Failaka was occupied by a garrison in the service of the Seleucids, who had a
fortress located to the east of the island at Tell Said. Subsequently, it
became a colony in 203/202 BC. AD as a result of a decision of Antiochos III.
The fortress was enlarged and the residential area extended, while a temple
dedicated to the goddess Artemis was erected. The fall of Seleucid power in
Mesopotamia after 114 BC. BC precipitated the abandonment of this garrison.
The end of the ancient period is poorly documented on the island of
Failaka. The French teams have located an establishment on the site called
al-Qusur ("the castles") which is a Christian monastery of Sassanian
or early Islamic era, namely a church of 31 × 19 meters in bricks1 . Stucco
crosses characteristic of the Christian communities of the Sassanid Empire were
uncovered on the site. This site is abandoned in the eighth century or the
ninth century.
The excavations of Tell Said and al-Qusur resumed in 2011 under the
direction of the Franco-Kuwaiti Archaeological Mission of Failaka (MAFKF) 2.
Nowadays
Now reopened to the public for one or two years, some fishermen
have reinvested some houses in ruins, and a new resort is trying to attract
Kuwaiti families for the weekend. Since the Kuwaitis have not yet gotten used
to the island, the ferry is only filled with workers to rebuild (the ferry is
to be taken to Salmiyapres of the Scientific Center, 1h30 journey, 2 return and
Day and time in the morning 8:00 or in the afternoon 13:00).
Finally, the visit of the "museum" or temple is only
possible with written authorization from the ministry, to request through the
embassies.
