Given the geographic conditions of Bahrain, it is not strange that an ancient culture dedicated a tempel to Enki, God of freshwater.
Bahrain contains some very old remains of temples and forts. One of those is Barbar Temple, which actually are remains of three different temples built one on top of the other. The oldest temple is thought to have been built around 3000 BCE. The temple is dedicated to Enki, the god of freshwater. Appropriately, the temple is built on a spring of water. The spring, the most holy place of the temple, could be approached using stairs.
