KINGDOM OF KONGO

We are The Anziku Kingdom, also called the Teke Kingdom, the Tyo Kingdom or Tio Kingdom.

The word Anziku comes from the KiKongo Anziku Nziku meaning "to run" referring to inhabitants who leave the interior to protect the border.
The term was applied most famously to the BaTeke, which is why the state is sometimes called the kingdom of Teke or Tiyo.

Other groups within the Anziku included the Bampunu and Banzabi. The Empire is ruled by a king called a MAKOKO.  This led to the state sometimes being labeled "Great Makoko" on European maps. According to the millenar tradition, the Makoko ruled over 13 crown vassal kings, also called King Princes.

TRADITIONAL KONGO EMPIRE TERRITORY

Anziku Kingdom, The Anziku Kingdom, also called Kingdom of M'Bé, Kingdom of Kongo, Teke Kingdom, Tyo Kingdom or Tio Kingdom, has its Palace in the modern Republic of Congo (to whom it gave its name of Congo).

It is known as the most ancient Kingdom of the world (4,000 years old). Oral traditions about the early history of the Kingdom were set in writing for the first time in the late 16th century, and the most comprehensive ones were recorded in the mid-seventeenth century, including those written by the Italian Capuchin missionary Giovanni Cavazzi da Montecuccolo.

The kingdom consisted of several core provinces ruled by the Mani-kongo or Makoko, the Portuguese version of the Kongo title 'Mwene Kongo', meaning lord or ruler of the Kongo kingdom, but its sphere of influence extended to neighbouring vassal kingdoms. 13 vassal Kings or Royal Princes (in modern language) nowadays help the Makoko to rule the Kingdom which is over the modern republics (The 2 Congo, Centrafric, Angola, Gabon, part of Chad and Cameroon.) Their job is to keep the traditions alive, to strickly respect the King's Will and to modernize the territory.
