Sao people - Sao (English spelling)
|
A tribe that lived from the 10th century to the 16th century in a wide area in central Africa, from the southern end of Lake Chad, 40km east, 60km west, and 200km southeast across the Chari River. They built many settlements in various places and carefully buried their dead. According to legend, the Thao were "giants of fearsome strength." One theory is that this means that they were descendants of the tall Kushite people (Kush Kingdom) from the upper reaches of the Nile River. The Thao, along with their successors, the Kotoko, had a metalware culture, casting bronze products using the lost-wax method and also making iron products, most of which were ornaments.

アフリカ中央部，チャド湖の南端から，シャリ川をはさんで東に40km，西に60km，南東へ200kmの広い地域に，10世紀ころから16世紀ころまで住んだ部族。彼らは各地に多くの集落をつくり，ていねいに死体を埋葬した。伝承によると，サオ族は〈おそろしい力の巨人〉であったという。これはナイル川上流の長身のクシュ族(クシュ王国)の末裔であることを意味する，との説がある。サオ族はその後継者であるコトコ族Kotokoとともに金属器文化を有し，失蠟法で青銅製品を鋳造し，鉄製品もつくったが，それらの多くは装身具であった。
