Lost King of Dongola Confirmed by a 17th-Century Arabic Royal Order

The Meroe Pyramids in the North-East of Sudan. Inset, the manuscript.

A single sheet of paper, roughly the size of a postcard, has rewritten a chapter of African history. Archaeologists from the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology at the University of Warsaw (PCMA UW), excavating at the medieval site of Old Dongola in northern Sudan, have recovered a 17th-century Arabic manuscript that confirms the historical existence of King Qasqash, a ruler previously dismissed by many historians as a semi-legendary figure.

The manuscript from Old Dongola

The manuscript from Old Dongola which is a written order from King Qasqash. (PCMA)

The document was found within Building A.1, a large residential complex at Old Dongola that local oral tradition has long referred to as the “King’s House.” The site has previously yielded luxury items including silk, ivory, and rhinoceros horn, strongly suggesting it was a residence of the city’s elite. The manuscript itself was not found in a place of honor; it was recovered from a rubbish deposit, discarded alongside organic waste. Yet its contents, once deciphered, proved to be anything but ordinary.
