A rock figure that might be a king

Miseeda, northern Sudan. Debated. Free

No named king was found.

Debated. The figure might show a Kushite king, but that is still a theory.

The figure is cut into a granite hill at Miseeda, in the Mahas region of northern Sudan. The study could not say how old it is. It is life-sized. A church was built near it in the seventh century AD.

Whether the figure is a king is still not proven.
