I'm from Zimbabwe I have been telling people that in central africa and Southern Africa there are more than 20 independent tribes that used to do dry stone walling scattered all across central africa and Southern Africa . There are more than 10 000 of these that have been studied and registered. There is volumes of encyclopedias explaining which monument belonged to which tribe. This I saw it in a library not long back in harare there are about 4 volumes. I tried googling these books but I guess no one has tried to upload or make a website with this infor.
Try to get a serious and trustworthy book on it. Personally I only have the history of Joseph Ki Zerbo, which, well, has its flaws. Okay, on Mali and Egypt you will find a lot. But try it for less famous topics. Even for Kush and Ethiopia it is difficult. Name Information not hidden in universities and archives or behind walls of money and I will be glad, to hear of it. But yes, it is ten years ago we searched for it. Our search was a reaction to an article in a newspaper, which described this situation.
*1:12 is a picture of otumfuo osei tutu II asantehene of the ashanti people. the picture used at 1:21 is also of a person of the ashanti ethnic group in ghana. the two pictures at 2:55 are of kings from the grassfields region of cameroon. i think the picture at 3:18 is of a king from the congo. i understand that the lack of pictures may be hard to work around, but i was wondering why these pictures were used, as they don't exactly provide an accurate representation of sao culture/history. nevertheless, thank you for this video!
Yes, and two ladies were from Kotoko ... however, as the civilization does not exist anymore, it is hard to find material .., 3D-animation would be required, but then again there are no basic Infos on how the people really dressed.. which would be again a subject of speculation
Nice - finally a video presentation which is impressive and challenging due to the scarce material on their culture or their own name ... good job, thx
You did again! Yet another little known culture brought to my attention by SAMA! Love this attention to the little explored, please keep taking the less travelled path to history. Congratulations people! And thanks, more on Africa please!
The Nok culture was just as old as the Sao (probably older in fact) but separate and in another part of Nigeria (central Nigeria), and had a different art style. So, not descended from them. But the Nok may have influenced some southern Nigerian cultures.
@@skellagyook The fact that no one knows which tribe the Nok civilisation were may give reason to believe that black Africans from the Sahel or Sahara had some role in it. Don’t dismiss the theory of the Sao being connected so quickly. You’re doing African history a disservice by suggesting they can’t possibly have relation. I do agree that the Nok may have influenced later art in Nigeria such as Igbo Nri Bronzes, Ife Bronzes and Benin Bronzes though.
I wonder if the connection between Ancient Egypt and the Sao was a strong one, as well as the connection between between the Sao and Meroe in Kush. Maybe the remnants of the latter fused into the former.
It's possible immigrants from Kush formed the Sao or the Sao were a satellite kingdom of Kush and included colonists and people native to the Logone Chari region. It's also possible that the Bantu were created from this assimilation of several groups from Kush to Cameroon and developed in Cameroon/Nigeria. The ancient Kushites definitely traded with Sao. There are records of Caravans going East. That trade will have gone both way's. Very sad the Sao were later crushed by Islam and descended into the less organised Sara people who were victimised by the Islsmic slave trade.
@@truthseeker215 I would image when sea level was lower and the Sahara was more hospitable, it would have been easier to travel thru Africa than over glaciers
They said that their ancestors came from the North. They were invaded by Bantu migration and turned black. But the reals ones are albino looking. This is why they are persecuted.

Amazing products.
thanks for shedding light on this highly underrated African Civilization
I am from Chad 🇹🇩 and they used to teach us about the SAO civilization in school.
What did they teach you ? :)
I'm from Zimbabwe I have been telling people that in central africa and Southern Africa there are more than 20 independent tribes that used to do dry stone walling scattered all across central africa and Southern Africa . There are more than 10 000 of these that have been studied and registered. There is volumes of encyclopedias explaining which monument belonged to which tribe. This I saw it in a library not long back in harare there are about 4 volumes. I tried googling these books but I guess no one has tried to upload or make a website with this infor.
Unless you are dedicated Scholar, there are not a lot of books on precolonial Africa that the average person can just find.
What’s that name of the books
A very interesting video. Since there is only few information out there on African history, I hope, you will do more on it.
"Few", based on what?
Try to get a serious and trustworthy book on it. Personally I only have the history of Joseph Ki Zerbo, which, well, has its flaws. Okay, on Mali and Egypt you will find a lot. But try it for less famous topics. Even for Kush and Ethiopia it is difficult. Name Information not hidden in universities and archives or behind walls of money and I will be glad, to hear of it.

@@fraso7331 I recommend 'Tulikuwa Wafalme' by LaRon 'highly intellectual' Jenkins. Hard to find but worth it.

Wow!! didn't get by alarm on this ,well done ,never thought anyone would tackled the Sao civilization.
You did again! Yet another little known culture brought to my attention by SAMA! Love this attention to the little explored, please keep taking the less travelled path to history. Congratulations people! And thanks, more on Africa please!
Thanks for that introduction, I'll have to hunt down more on the Sao, will check out Lost in the mists...
Nice video make more. These are fascinating.
Beware a commentor with variations of the name "Ario", always lurking around African related channels trolling and pushing revionist bs
I am Kotoko a decsendant of Sao Civilation
The same as Gannibal Avram.
Whats that@@Pyrrhic537
Are you going to do one for the nok people? Their influence can be seen in southern Nigerian art works. Could they be descendants from them
The Nok culture was just as old as the Sao (probably older in fact) but separate and in another part of Nigeria (central Nigeria), and had a different art style. So, not descended from them. But the Nok may have influenced some southern Nigerian cultures.
There is no Sao in southern Nigeria!! In northern Nigeria, there are Sao, the Hausa and the Borno

Another great video. Really good quality ad always
First I have heard of them. Thanks.
Are y’all gonna do one on the Ghana empire or Gao?
Thank you!
Fascinating.
I always said their is probably so many missing pieces to our human puzzle buried under the sahrah.
Sahara is the way a lot of Europeans migrated from the middle east.
@@tonyu5985 the Sahara was green 4,000 years ago

I love their art. The way they do faces cracks me up. Very Simpsons / cartoonish!
The predecessors to many other tribes.
example of the ideas of Griaule perhaps even as he concieved of them, since the exact boundaries are unclear!
Proto Saharans ?
No
no

That was a very long pause
I read Sao were 12 feet tall giants
You're not even using the correct pictures
Keep talking about mother Africa
Very beautiful however. The Idriss Aluma tribe is a mixture of Sao and Toubou people

The Sao people were likely caucasoid Cro Magnon people with blonde and red hair and blue eyes. They were probably one of the lost tribes of Judia.
This is Africa!The Sao people were not Caucasoid.there are Africans who have blue eyes and red and blond hair.
