When people think of Africa, they generally think of primitive tribes. In fact, in history, Africa also had many slightly established civilization kingdoms. Among them is the Ashanti Kingdom in West Africa and his mysterious Golden Throne. It has always been a hit in the field of historiography.
Around the time of the Song Dynasty, the grassland environment around the Sahara Desert deteriorated, and the more civilized black natives in the north had already migrated here. Gradually formed the Ashanti people. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Ashanti people came out with a tyrant, Audi. Arkendon. Under his leadership, the Ashanti people gradually developed and grew. Post-Audi pawn. His nephew Obiri Yeboa inherited the sheikh throne. The kingdom gradually took shape.
Around the time of the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, the Great Chief of Ashanti, Obiri Yeboa, died. His nephew's son, Ossay Dudu, succeeded to the throne. In this way, after three generations, the Ashanti tribe, which has accumulated strength, has finally grown and grown. The capital was established in Kurssi to become a kingdom. Also an African kingdom, Ashanti predates the founding of the Zulu Kingdom in South Africa. Ashanti was a unified kingdom established during the Kangxi Dynasty. The Zulu Kingdom was established during the Qianlong period. Moreover, the tribes around Ashantitong disease are relatively civilized after the means. The Zulu kingdom was conquered by killing. Ashanti, on the other hand, ruled over the subordinate tribal clans.
After Jianyuan became king, the Ashanti kingdom naturally also wanted to create artifacts to pass on to future generations. Thus the Golden Throne was born. However, this golden throne is not the throne of the Nine-Fold Hall as most people think. It's just like the swords of other countries, the golden crown, the jade seal, the scepter. It's just a symbol of royal power. The manufacture of this golden throne stems from ancestor worship. West African ministries have episodes of worshipping the stools on which ancestors sat. So the Golden Throne is the most precious treasure of the Kingdom of Assati. The kings of the past, even if they gave up their lives, could not let the golden throne have the slightest loss.
Africa is not in chaos in West Africa, and Africa is already in peace. This West Africa was the first place of western colonists to invade. As early as the ming dynasty, Henry, the third prince of Portugal, had sent people to colonize Africa. But of the two teeth, Spain's main ambitions were in the Americas, while Portugal's appetite was relatively small. So the plundering of West Africa is mainly a population plunder. And slaves in West Africa were not stolen by the Europeans themselves. It was sold to the Europeans by the king chiefs. Europeans began to establish strongholds in West Africa in the middle and early Ming Dynasty. Ashanti only established the kingdom during the Kangxi Dynasty. Grow and grow. The crisis of persecution gradually threatened the Ashanti.
By the end of the Industrial Revolution, the role of black slaves began to weaken. At this time, the European and American powers put up the mask of hypocrisy to abolish slavery. Start by wanting no one. In the 19th century, there was a frenzy to divide Africa. Because it directly threatens the dominance of African royal families. The war between the Africans and the European aggressors had not yet begun completely. In the past, however, Ashanti was confronted by the Portuguese on wooden boats. Now we are facing the British who have guns on their ships. Rao, the Kingdom of Ashanti still fought against the British nine times. It was not until the beginning of the twentieth century that the Kingdom of Ashanti was destroyed by Britain. A stubborn kingdom has finally paid the price for its backwardness.
