Ancient Christians lived alongside followers of mysterious faith 1,500 years ago, archaeologists say

Archaeologists in Iraq recently uncovered evidence suggesting that Christians co-existed with a now-little-known religion. 

The discovery, announced by Goethe University Frankfurt in Germany, was made public in December.

The excavations began in the late summer of 2025. They focused on a building complex at the Gird-î Kazhaw site in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, built around 500 A.D.
