Sao civilisation

Central African civilization

The Sao civilization (also called So) flourished in Central Africa from the 2000 BC, to as late as the 16th century AD. The Sao lived by the Chari River basin in territory that later became part of Cameroon and Chad. They were the earliest civilization to have left clear traces of their presence in the territory of modern Chad and Cameroon. Sometime around the 16th century, conversion to Islam changed the cultural identity of the former Sao.
