Sorokogne

Sorokogne lies in the inland country of Saloum, where a megalithic site forms part of the wider Senegambian landscape of stone circles and burial mounds. Nearby Wanar and Sine Ngayène contain groups of carefully shaped laterite pillars associated with graves. Their builders used iron tools to quarry and fashion the stones, maintaining a monumental tradition over many centuries. The Saloum country later became home to a Serer kingdom linked to the wider politics of Jolof.
