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 Kingdom of Kerma: Sudan's First Empire

    The Kingdom of Kerma: Sudan's First Empire
    2026/05/20
    Long before Kush and Meroe, a powerful kingdom thrived in Upper Nubia from around 2500 to 1500 BCE. This episode explores the Kingdom of Kerma, one of the earliest complex societies in Africa. We delve into its massive mud-brick structures, including the Western Deffufa—a unique religious monument that still stands today. Lucas and Luna discuss the Kerma kings' wealth, built on trade with Egypt, and their formidable archers who challenged Pharaohs during the Second Intermediate Period. We examine the archaeological evidence for Kerma's sophisticated burial practices, with thousands of cattle skulls placed in elite graves, and the mysterious 'Kerma Bow' that gave the region its Egyptian name, Ta-Seti. The episode covers the kingdom's eventual conquest by the New Kingdom pharaohs Thutmose I and III, and how Kerma's legacy influenced later Nubian cultures. Discover the story of a civilization that rivaled Egypt and laid the groundwork for the great kingdoms of Sudan. #Kerma #Nubia #TaSeti #WesternDeffufa #SecondIntermediatePeriod #ThutmoseI #ThutmoseIII #GeorgeReisner #KermaBow #CattleBurials #SudanHistory #AncientAfrica #NileCivilizations #KermaKingdom #Deffufa #NubianArchers #Archaeology #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Mahdist Revolt: Sudan's Revolutionary State

    The Mahdist Revolt: Sudan's Revolutionary State
    2026/05/19
    After the fall of the Funj sultanate in 1821, Sudan was absorbed into the Ottoman-Egyptian Khedivate, a period of harsh taxation, slave raids, and growing resentment. By the 1870s, a charismatic Islamic scholar named Muhammad Ahmad declared himself the Mahdi, the prophesied redeemer of Islam. This episode traces the Mahdist Revolt from its origins on Aba Island to the dramatic fall of Khartoum in 1885. We explore the Mahdi's theological vision, his strategic brilliance at battles like El Obeid and Sheikan, and the establishment of a revolutionary state centered in Omdurman. We discuss the role of the Baqqara Arabs, the siege of Khartoum and the death of General Charles Gordon, and the brief but transformative Mahdist period that ended with the Anglo-Egyptian reconquest at Karari in 1898. The episode also touches on the legacy of the Mahdiyya in modern Sudanese identity and the controversial figure of the Mahdi's successor, the Khalifa Abdullahi. #MahdistRevolt #MuhammadAhmad #Khartoum #Omdurman #GeneralGordon #ElObeid #Sheikan #Karari #Baqqara #KhalifaAbdullahi #AbaIsland #SudanHistory #ColonialAfrica #IslamicRevival #19thCentury #History #FexingoHistory #Mahdiyya Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the royal necropolis of El-Kurru, the burial ground of the Kushite kings who ruled Egypt as the 25th Dynasty. They discuss the tombs of Piye, Shabaka, and Tanutamun, the unique pyramid architecture, the discovery of the intact tomb of a horse, and the controversial 1919 excavations by George Reisner.
