Osei Tutu I and the Birth of the Ashanti Empire

In this episode of The Story of Ghana, we go back to the dawn of the Ashanti Empire. Lucas and Luna explore the life of Osei Tutu I, the exiled prince turned empire-builder, and his spiritual adviser Komfo Anokye. They recount the legendary descent of the Golden Stool from the heavens, the decisive Battle of Feyiase in 1701 that broke Denkyira's grip, and the ingenious political structure that united the Asante states. Along the way, they touch on the role of the queen mother, the significance of the sacred stools, and how this foundation shaped Ghana's later resistance to colonialism. A fresh look at the empire's origins, not covered in our previous episodes on the wars and treaties. #AshantiEmpire #OseiTutuI #GoldenStool #KomfoAnokye #BattleOfFeyiase #Denkyira #Asante #GhanaHistory #WestAfrica #18thCentury #PrecolonialAfrica #Akan #StoolArt #QueenMother #Feyiase #Asantehene #AfricanEmpires #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
