From the Kingdom of Kush and the pyramids of Meroe to the mahdiya, Anglo-Egyptian condominium, and the birth of two Sudans, this show traces the full arc of Sudanese history. Hosts Lucas and Luna guide listeners through the rise and fall of Nubian pharaohs, the spread of Christianity and Islam along the Nile, the brutal legacy of the slave trade, and the colonial border-making that set the stage for Africa’s longest civil war. Along the way, they explore the legendary Candaces of Meroe, the Funj sultanate of Sennar, the Turkiyya under Muhammad Ali, the Mahdist state of the 1880s, the 1898 Battle of Omdurman, and the complex politics of independence in 1956. The show delves into the cultural richness of Sudan—its diverse ethnicities, languages, Sufi traditions, and the Nile as both lifeline and contested resource. It also confronts the tragedies of the Second Sudanese Civil War, the secession of South Sudan in 2011, and the ongoing struggle for democracy and peace in the post-Bashir era. Why does Sudan’s history matter today? Because its fault lines—religious, ethnic, economic, and geopolitical—continue to shape the Horn of Africa and the entire Arab world. This is a story of resilience, empire, and the long shadow of the past. #KingdomOfKush #Meroe #Nubia #Candaces #FunjSultanate #MahdistState #BattleOfOmdurman #AngloEgyptianSudan #SudanIndependence #SecondSudaneseCivilWar #SouthSudanSecession #OmarAlBashir #NileValley #SufismInSudan #SudaneseHistory #AfricanHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • The Nubian Pharaohs: Kushite Rule Over Egypt's 25th Dynasty

    The Nubian Pharaohs: Kushite Rule Over Egypt's 25th Dynasty
    2026/07/21
    Long before the pyramids of Meroe, the kings of Kush conquered Egypt and ruled as pharaohs for nearly a century. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the 25th Dynasty — starting with Kashta's expansion into Upper Egypt, the reign of Piye who marched north and unified the Nile Valley, and the powerful Shabaka who moved the capital to Memphis and revived ancient traditions. They discuss the role of the god Amun at Thebes, the famous 'Victory Stela' recounting Piye's campaign, and the dynasty's building projects at Karnak and Gebel Barkal. Luna asks how Kushite pharaohs reconciled Nubian identity with Egyptian kingship, and Lucas reveals the propaganda of the 'Nubian archer' trope. The episode also covers the conflict with Assyria under Taharqa, the sacking of Thebes, and the dynasty's withdrawal south after Tantamani. A nuanced look at a period when the 'Black Pharaohs' — a term that has caused some controversy — ruled the Nile. #25thDynasty #KushitePharaohs #Piye #Shabaka #Taharqa #GebelBarkal #Napata #Karnak #VictoryStela #Assyria #BlackPharaohs #NubianArcher #Kashta #Tantamani #Amun #AncientEgypt #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Kushite Golden Age: Temple-Building and Apedemak

    Kushite Golden Age: Temple-Building and Apedemak
    2026/07/20
    This episode explores the golden age of the Kingdom of Kush during the Meroitic period, focusing on the ambitious temple-building program of King Natakamani and Queen Amanitore in the first century CE. We examine the double temple of Apedemak at Naqa, a rare structure dedicated to a Kushite war god with an elephant-headed human form, and the nearby Lion Temple of Apedemak at Musawwarat es-Sufra, with its reliefs depicting bound captives and the king receiving divine weapons. The conversation also covers the Graeco-Roman influence visible in the architecture, including a small temple with a Roman-style kiosk and a depiction of the emperor Augustus alongside Kushite deities. We touch on the mystery of Amanitore's co-rule with Natakamani—whether she was his wife, mother, or sister—and the meaning of the kandake title. The episode also examines the decline of Meroe after the third century CE, partly due to overgrazing and desertification, and the shift of the capital to the south at Soba. Along the way, we discuss the Fexingo History Network's ad-free model and how listener support sustains this deep-dive history content. #Kush #Meroe #Apedemak #Natakamani #Amanitore #Naqa #MusawwaratEsSufra #LionTemple #Kandake #MeroiticArchitecture #GraecoRoman #Soba #Desertification #Nubia #AncientAfrica #History #FexingoHistory #Sudan Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Meroe's Royal Cemeteries: Pyramids of the Black Pharaohs

    Meroe's Royal Cemeteries: Pyramids of the Black Pharaohs
    2026/07/20
    In this episode of The History of Sudan, Lucas and Luna venture into the royal cemeteries of Meroe, home to over 200 pyramids that served as tombs for Kushite rulers. They explore the architectural evolution from steep-sided Nubian pyramids to the distinctive Meroitic style, the religious significance of pyramid complexes, and the plundering of these sites in the 19th century. Lucas explains the role of the royal cemetery at Begrawiya, divided into the South, North, and West cemeteries, and discusses notable burials, including that of Kandake Amanishakheto, whose pyramid yielded a treasure of jewelry now scattered across European museums. The conversation touches on the pyramid-building tradition's origins in Egyptian and Napatan practices, the unique Meroitic funerary inscriptions, and the ongoing archaeological work by teams like the German Archaeological Institute. Lucas also reflects on how these silent monuments have shaped modern understanding of Kushite civilization. #Meroe #Kush #Pyramids #Begrawiya #KandakeAmanishakheto #Nubia #AncientSudan #Meroitic #RoyalCemeteries #Archaeology #GiuseppeFerlini #GermanArchaeologicalInstitute #PyramidBuilding #KushiteKings #AncientAfrica #History #FexingoHistory #NorthAfrica Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
