    Old DongolaSudan5th century–14th century

    Old Dongola was the magnificent capital of the medieval Christian kingdom of Makuria, perched on a desert plateau overlooking the Nile. Renowned for its multi-story brick Throne Hall, subterranean monastic crypts, and vibrant wall paintings of archangels, the deserted city is associated with stories of phantom monks, subterranean chanting, and spectral guardians protecting Christian tombs.
