Kuwait was the central place of interaction between the peoples of Mesopotamia and Neolithic Eastern Arabia during the Ubaid period (6500 BC), mainly centered in As-Subiya in northern Kuwait.
Kuwait 's earliest evidence of human habitation goes back to 8000 B.C. where Mesolithic tools were found in Burgan. As-Subiya in northern Kuwait is that the earliest evidence of urbanization within the whole Persian Gulf basin area.
Ancient coins found on Failaka Island
Mesopotamians first settled within the Kuwaiti island of Failaka in 2000 B.C. Failaka was inhabited by traders from the Sumerian city of Ur and ran a merchant business. The island had many Mesopotamian-style buildings typical of these found in Iraq dating from around 2000 B.C. Kuwait's Neolithic residents were amongst the earliest maritime traders in the world. . One of the earliest reed-boats in the world was discovered in northern Kuwait from the Ubaid period,
The earliest recorded mention of Kuwait was in 150 AD within the geographical treatise Geography by Greek scholar Ptolemy. Ptolemy mentioned the Bay of Kuwait as Hieros Kolpos (Sacer Sinus within the Latin versions).
The bay of Kuwait was home to the Dilmun civilization in 4000 BC until 2000 BC. Dilmun's control of the bay of Kuwait included Kuwait City's Shuwaikh Port (formerly Akkaz Island), Umm a Tamil Island, and Failaka island. At its peak in 2000 BC, the Dilmun empire controlled the trade routes from Mesopotamia to India and therefore the Indus Valley civilization. Dilmun's commercial power began to say no after 1800 BC. During the decline of Dilmun, piracy prospered throughout the region. After 600 BC Dilmun was added to their empire by the Babylonians.
The traditional Greeks colonized Kuwait Bay under Alexander the Good in the 4th century BC, and the traditional Greeks named Kuwait Larissa and Failaka were named Ikaros.
Alexander the good named Failaka Ikaros, according to Strabo and Arrian, because in size and form it resembled the Aegean island of that name. Remains of Greek colonization include an outsized Hellenistic fort and Greek temples.
In 224 AD, Kuwait became a part of the Sassanid Empire. At the time of the Sassanid Empire, Kuwait was referred to as Meshan, which was an alternate name of the dominion of Characene. Akka was a Partho-Sassanian site; the Sassanid religion's tower of silence was discovered in northern Akkaz.
