Summary

Nutrition label

71% Informative

Archaeologists now believe the site was constructed about 1,000 years ago by religious settlers from what is now Iran .

This hypothesis was made following the first -ever in-depth excavation of Teniky , which was carried out during 2021 and 2022 .

Archaeologists hypothesize that Teniky was built by Zoroastrian settlers from Iran .

The study leaves further questions to be answered, namely when the Zoroastrians first came to Madagascar , if and how they interacted with other communities on the island.
