		Some 45 kilometers from Matadi one can find the caves in which the Portuguese discoverer Diego Caô left his ’signature’ in the shape of inscriptions in the cave walls in 1487 A.D., in a time when the colonisation was still a matter of ’influence’ rather than ’occupation’: the Congo empire continued to exist.
