For over a millennium, powerful Christian kingdoms flourished along the Nile in Sudan. But in 1365, a catastrophic civil war left Dongola sacked, reducing the Kingdom of Makuria to a tiny strip of land, while southern Alodia fell to invaders. Church institutions vanished, murals disappeared, and by the time the Ottomans arrived in the 1560s, a thousand years of African Christian civilization had slipped silently into history. #AfricanHistory #MedievalHistory #HistoryShorts #ChristianNubia #Makuria #SudanHistory #LostCivilizations #Dongola
