Archaeologists reach the original floor of Nubia’s largest cathedral in Sudan
“Obłuski notes the church was bigger than the White House in Washington, D.C., and says the team plans to dig out the whole thing.”

Polish and Sudanese archaeologists have uncovered new secrets of a monumental medieval church in Sudan, believed to be larger than the White House.
Excavations at Old Dongola revealed a grand staircase, the church’s original floor and traces of another ancient church, offering fresh insights into medieval African Christianity.
