A fact from Sao civilisation appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 17 January 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Sao civilisation is the earliest to have left clear traces of their presence in the territory of modern Cameroon?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/January.

Contradiction regarding dates in current text

"The Sao civilization began as early as the sixth or fourth century BCE, and by the end of the first millennium BCE, their presence was well established around Lake Chad and near the Chari River."

How can a civilization begin at one point in time, and be well-established 400 to 600 years earlier? Either the timeline is presented wrong, or the grammar or word choice in the sentence is in error. I'm a complete neophyte on the topic, so I can't be of help. 2600:1700:A644:6000:953C:CF69:4915:994B (talk) 06:11, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Civilization/Civilisation

The difference in spelling should be corrected between the title and what is used in the article. 128.252.154.3 (talk) 17:46, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
