Having set out in search of the ancient copper country, which constituted an essential source of wealth before the 19th century in the Congo, and whose possession was coveted by Europeans (the Portuguese in particular) who were always excluded, Abraham Constant NDINGA-MBO actually discovered and identified the generations of men who succeeded one another in the copper-bearing Niari-Djoué since Antiquity. He patiently reconstructs the migrations of the successive copper masters, the Teke present until the 18th century, then the Kongo.
Abraham Constant NDINGA-MBO establishes deep and precise chronologies on the copper civilization in Congo and presents this copper civilization in its material and socio-cultural aspects.
