A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Kingdom of Makuria, medieval Nubia's most powerful Christian state. They delve into how Makuria emerged after the fall of Kush, its conversion to Orthodox Christianity in the 6th century, and its flourishing capital at Old Dongola. Lucas sheds light on the Baqt treaty—a remarkable 600-year peace with Muslim Egypt—and how Makurian kings like Merkurios navigated diplomacy with the Fatimids and later repelled Mamluk invasions. The episode also examines Makuria's cultural achievements, including the vibrant wall paintings at Faras Cathedral, the use of Old Nubian language and Greek liturgy, and the kingdom's gradual decline due to tribal pressures and shifting trade routes. A pivotal figure is King Merkurios, called 'the New Constantine' for his role in unifying the Nubian church. The conversation covers the Battle of Dongola (1272) where the Nubians defeated the Mamluks, and the later destruction of Dongola by the Mamluks in 1317, leading to fragmentation. Listeners will gain a nuanced understanding of a forgotten African kingdom that maintained its Christian identity for centuries.
