The Greek philosopher Theophrastus, pupil and successor of Aristotle in the Peripatetic school who lived in the period 371-287 B.C. and whose interests apart from philosophy that included grammar, language, logic, ethics and metaphysics, also included medieval science such as biology and physics, wrote in 315 B.C. that pearls came from the waters off the coast of India, and certain islands in the Red Sea and in the Sinus Persicus (Persian Gulf).Another ancient cuneiform tablet dated around 2,000 B.C. was found at Ur of the Chaldees, believed to be the birthplace of Patriarch Abraham. The inscription on this tablet, refers to a parcel of "fish eyes" from Dilmun, which some scholars have interpreted to mean pearls from Bahrain Island, that was sent to Babylon, the capital city of the ancient Babylonian empire (from around 2,000 B.C to 539 B.C.), which is today in present day Iraq.
