The Ashanti stone palace was based on European designs built by Fante masons from the coast who were trained in masonry by Europeans.

They just couldn't recognize that African people could be original. Our people may resemble other civilization and designe, BUT lets be ckear the Akan and the Ashanti culture is the result of thousands of years of indigenous culture with some small outside influence. And these influences went both ways. We really have to understand that Europeans were HIGHLY BIASED in thier observations of our ancestors and ill just put it like that. The Ashanti empire was and is an indigenous empire and of course it had contact with the outside. I bet in its peak it was glorious!

An Arab traveller Al Bakri who visited the Ghana empire described their kings, how they wore gold it was very similar to Akan kings. He also stated that the king’s nephews were his heir not his sons just like with Akans. I’m not saying the Ghana empire was Akan but there was some cultural connection. It’s probably why the name Ghana was chosen after independence.

Nice work, although I wanted to point out some more details. The Ashanti palace was called Adum. It was surrounded by a wall covering 5 acres. It goes back to the formation of the Ashanti Empire. The description by Bowdich @3:50 , might be the Adum Palace. However, within the Adum, another stone castle called the Aban palace was erected by Osei Bonsu in the 1820s as some sort of presonal residence and museum. It is this structure shown @3:34.

"The Asante were also the largest suppliers of slaves to the Europeans" Provide a reliable source for that claim. The entire Gold Coast region even before the existence of the Ashanti Empire is among the 3rd or 4th largest. Provide a peer reviewed source for your claim that they were the largest source of suppliers.

Let me guess they're lying right" Largest SLAVE OWNING state in MODERN GHANA not Largest SUPPLIERS to the Europeans. The OP claimed the Ashanti were the largest suppliers of slaves to the Europeans but on that same Wikipedia page "Atlantic slave trade" the entire Gold Coast region 14th-19th century supplied 10.4% which is behind Bight of Benin 20%, West Central Africa 39% and Bight of Biafra 14.6%. The Gold Coast region isn't even top 3. In "Economy of the Ashanti Empire " wiki page, it states the Ashanti first established commercial relations with European merchants under Osei Tutu around 1701, 300 years long after the Atlantic slave trade was already thriving. No primary source or peer reviewed records exists to show that the single state of Ashanti was the largest supplier to Europeans when the entire region isn't even the largest nor were the Ashanti the earliest participant. This is why I asked the OP for peer reviewed sources.

The moorish architecture can be explained by the saharan trade, but I wonder how Egyptian architecture got in there...

[@saratmodugu2721]

Mamluk “Egyptian”

[@maxxmabemwe4859]

There was no Egypt. The empire was called Kemet. That Egypt crap came from the Greeks who did not have anything to do with the greatness of Kemet. The Greeks changed the names of everything in Kemet because the Greeks could not speak the language of Kemet. They called the empire Agptos which later became Egypt. To put things in the proper perspective, Cleopatra, yes she was a Greek, is closer in time to us than she was to the people who built the Mers, the Greeks called them pyramids which means pile of stones. They changed the names of everything in Kemet. e.g. The Horemakhet became a Sphinx, the sphinx is a monster from Greek mythology and it does not resemble the Horemakhet, they changed the name of Asuar to Osiris, Aset to Isis, Heru to Horis, the Tekens to Obelisk, even the names of the kys, the people of ancient Kemet did not refer to their kings as Pharoah, Pharoah is a perversion of an Israelite term that they used to honor a ky of Kemet, it means great house or stone house. It would be like calling Biden white house. I guess you can not imagine that the Moors got their architecture from the Asante. To put another lie to rest. The Bible says that Moses, by the way, there is no mention of Moses in all of the writings of Kemet, led the Israelites out of Egypt. During that epoch, the kingdom would have been called Kemet because the Greeks had not taken over the empire yet. A lie can travel all around the world while the truth is still putting its shoes on.

[@saratmodugu2721]

@@maxxmabemwe4859 ok? How is that relevant? Because its not like we get a different impression of kemetic culture just because we use a historical anachronism We say Jesus even though he was really called Yeshua, so that doesn’t mean a thing

[@thevisitor1012]

@@maxxmabemwe4859 Okay, I'll admit I never considered Ghana creating the Moorish style, but I'm well aware that Egypt was originally called Kemet and all the other changes you mentioned.

[@maxxmabemwe4859]

Africa predates Arabia, actually, Arabia is part of Africa. Arabs were desert tent-dwelling nomads when the Asante people were building those structures. It is more likely that Arabs copied the Asante builders. When Europeans encountered the Ife sculptures they claimed that they were made by the Greeks. When a wandering European saw Great Zimbabwe he claimed that some wandering Europeans built those buildings. The only writings that any honest person should accept are the writings of the Greeks who first encountered African civilizations. However, their writings are hidden away because they flatter Africans. Try reading Herodotus and Pliny.

[@soda8736]

​@@maxxmabemwe4859 the people the wondering European ran into around Great Zimbabwe didn't know who built the structures either. And their current archeology at the time didn't suggest they knew anything of the Zimbabwe structures .
