title: Kings graves in Benge, Ankiliabo, Madagascar, 1937

description: "Avec M.F.Birkeli j'ai visité en 1937, la tombe du roi Andriamandrese (peut ètre aussi d'Adriamisara), fils d'Andriamandazoala, qui conduisit les tribus sakalava dans le Menabe et fonda la tranche des Maroserana Sakalava. Cette tombe ce trouve près du village de Benge (près d'Ankiliabo) situé au bord du Sakalava, petit affluent du Mangoky. Ce village fut la premiere résidence des tribus envahisseurs, et cette petite rivière de Sakalava leur donna leur nom actuel. A proximité de la tombe se trouve une case, ou habite l'esprit du roi Andriamandresy. Cette case, de construction récente, remplaca une vielle case, dont la photo no. 1 montre quelques détails" ("Together with Mr. F.Birkeli I visited  in 1937 the grave of Andriamndrese (could  also be that of Andriamisara), son of Andriamandazoala who led the Sakalava tribes to the Menabe and founded the branch of sakalava  Maroseranana. This grave can be found close to the village of Benge (near Ankikiabo) placed near the shore of the Sakalava river, a little  tributary to the Mangoky . This village became the first residence of the invaders and this little river Sakalava thus gave them their actual name of today. In the vicinity of the grave there is an old house, where the spirit of Andriamandrese lives. This house, constructed recently,  replaced an old house, of which photo no. 1 shows some details").  --  Fridtjov Soeiland Birkeli was a missionary in Madagascar from 1933-1937 and Madagascar Inland from 1937-1945.
