		Dotawo was a kingdom that might have existed in Lower Nubia in the Middle Ages.
		It has long been known that a kingdom by this name is mentioned as existing during the collapse of Makuria in the thirteenth century.
		One explanation for this is that Dotawo is simply another name for Makuria.

	Makuria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dotawo could be another name, or it could refer to an entirely separate kingdom.
		Makuria seems to have been stable and prosperous during the eighth and ninth centuries.
		It is unclear what the reality was, but the Kingdom of Dotawo, prominently mentioned in the Qasr Ibrim documents, might be one of these sub-kingdoms

	The Islamic period
		The territory of Makuria (Nubian Dotawo) shrank to the region between the First and Second Cataracts, originally the southern part of the kingdom with the main centers at Qasr Ibrim and Gebel Adda, and to Batn el Hagar.
		Alodia collapsed at about the same time, it, too, having been disrupted by foraying Bedouin tribes and subsequently subordinated to the new Funj sultans, whose authority in the sixteenth century extended even as far as the Third Cataract in the south.
		To believe the evidence of documents from Qasr Ibrim and Gebel Adda, the kingdom of Dotawo (Makuria) in the region of the Second Cataract still existed in the fifteenth century.

	Why Christianity die out in Northern Sudan? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		From the sixth century to the fifteenth century Christianity was the official religion of the three Sudanese kingdoms of Nubia, Alwa, and Makuria (later Dotawo).
		The fall of the Christian kingdom of Dotawo in 1484 and the fall of the southern most kingdom of Alwa in 1530 heralded the demise of Christian faith in Northern Sudan.
		The National Islamic Front (NIF) regime has declared Jihad (holy war) against the Christian South and against the Arabic speaking Nuba Christians in central Sudan.

		In AD 1550 the Ottoman Turks annexed a disunited Lower Nubia to their great Near Eastern empire.

	A History of Africa, Chapter 5
		In 1364, in the face of new Arab threats, the king and his court fled Dongola; they founded a Moslem Nubian kingdom named Dotawo, between the first and second cataracts, with the main centers at Qasr Ibrim and Gebel Adda (the new royal seat).
		As a satellite of Egypt, Dotawo managed to last until the early sixteenth century.
		The Juhayna came from Upper Egypt; we don't know their relation to the Arab tribes that had lived there previously.

		At first the Ottoman Turks were more concerned about Moslem opponents--the Safavids in Iran and the Mamelukes in Egypt--until Sultan Selim I won a crushing victory against the former (1514) and completely conquered the latter (1517).
		Technically Nubia belonged to whoever had Egypt, so the Turks advanced as far as the third cataract, annexed the Moslem Nubian state there (Dotawo), and turned Lower Nubia into two provinces, controlled by garrisons at Qasr Ibrim and Sai (an island in the Nile).
		Because the Portuguese were a threat to Mecca as long as their ships could enter the Red Sea (Portugal had a base on the island of Socotra for a while), Selim built a fleet to oppose them at Suez, Egypt.

		Egypt should own Aswan in 1419, not Nubia
		Nubia should own Dotawo and Awsa, not Ethiopia
		Portugal conquered Cebta in 1415, so it should belong to Portugal in 1419 but should still have nationalism for another 26 years.
