A proposito di questo titolo

Episode 8 of The History of Sudan delves into one of the most remarkable diplomatic achievements of the medieval world: the Baqt Treaty. Signed in 652 CE between the Christian kingdom of Makuria and the Muslim caliphate in Egypt, this agreement maintained peace for over six centuries. Lucas and Luna explore the treaty's origins after the Arab siege of Dongola, its terms—including an annual exchange of slaves and grain—and how it shaped relations between Nubia and the Islamic world. They discuss the role of King Qalidurut, the Baqt's religious and economic dimensions, and its eventual breakdown under pressure from the Mamluks. This episode illuminates a forgotten example of long-term coexistence, offering fresh perspective on cross-cultural diplomacy in the Middle Ages.
