History of The Ashanti Empire of Ghana
The Asante (also known as Ashanti) are part of the more prominent Akan people, a significant ethnic group in modern-day Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. "Asante" translates to "because of war" in the Twi language. It derives from two Twi words: "ɔsa," meaning "war," and "nti," meaning "because of." This name reflects the origins of the Asante kingdom, which was established to resist and combat the Denkyira kingdom.
The variant name "Ashanti" emerged from British reports, where the pronunciation of "Asante" was transcribed as "Ashanti," reflecting how the British heard and interpreted the word.

The Meteoric Rise of the Asante Empire
From Hostage to Emperor: The Rise of Osei Tutu and the Asante Empire
Osei Tutu was no ordinary king. His journey from a young hostage in a rival kingdom to the powerful Asantehene and architect of the mighty Asante Empire is a story of resilience, cunning, and unwavering ambition. In this video, we delve into the fascinating life of Osei Tutu, exploring his pivotal role in shaping the destiny of a nation.
From Captive to Conqueror: Osei Tutu's Early Life
Our journey begins in the shadow of the Denkyira kingdom, where a young Osei Tutu is held captive. Far from being resigned to his fate, he uses his time to study his enemies, learn their strengths and weaknesses, and forge alliances with other discontented tribes. When the opportunity arises, Osei Tutu escapes back to his homeland, vowi...

The Asantehene of the Ashanti Empire sits in state in Memphis
The biggest traditional Dubar ceremony in Memphis, meant to unify, honor ancestors and pray for the prosperity of the land and people.
The ceremony included an entrance parade for the king, song, and dance, and gift offerings on Beale Street today! The Asantehene sat in state. #memphis
"Otumfuo," in the Asante language, means "All-Powerful Majesty." "Asantehene" means "King of the Asante."
Those are the titles of the dignitary from West Africa who is in Memphis this week to represent his home nation of Ghana as the Memphis in May International Festival celebrates what it calls (perhaps redundantly) "International Week" — a time to contemplate the festival's "honored country" instead of barbecue and Megan Thee Stallion.

The Ashanti Empire in modern day Ghana, West Africa, were to prove one of the most tenacious enemies the British faced in 19th century Africa.
It would take, the ingenuity of one of 19th century Britain’s greatest generals to better them.
This is the story of General Sir Garnet Wolseley and the Third Anglo-Ashanti War of 1873-74.
In 1867, after an internal power struggle, 30-year old Kofi Karikari become king of the Ashanti.
He had no time for the British or the tribes they protected on the coast.
As far as he was concerned these were traditional vassal territories of the ancient Ashanti empire.
In 1873, he sent a 12,000 strong army across the border to prove who was really in charge.
Major General Garnet Wolseley was dispatched to secure British interests, protect the local tribes and bring the Ashanti to heel.
He brought with him a group of 35 hand-picked officers - his fabled Ashanti Ring.
Many would become generals, such as John McNeill, Henry Brackenbury, John Maurice, Redvers Buller, William Butler, Evelyn Wood and George Pomeroy Colley.
Wolseley planned his campaign meticulously to fit in to the 3 month dry season.
Royal Engineers cut a route through the jungle to the border 70 miles away. En-route they constructed 7 fortified bases, containing barracks,, storage sheds, hospitals, water purifying and even bakeries, butchers and post offices.
The engineers also constructed 237 bridges during this campaign.
There was enough quinine for every soldier to be take daily during the campaign.
Wolseley also did away with the British soldiers traditional red tunics, providing uniforms of light grey home spun material. Much cooler and practical for this environment.
Wolseley’s army consisting of British troops from the 42nd regiment (the Black Watch), the Welch Fusiliers, the Rifle brigade, as well as Royal Marines and sailors advanced in January 1874.
They were joined by the 1st and 2nd West Indian Regiments and two regiments of local African recruits.
On the 31st January, he defeated the Ashanti army at the Battle of of Amoaful and 4 days later entered their capital as Kumasi.
Seizing anything of value, the British then blew up the royal palace and set fire to the city.
The third Anglo-Ashanti war was over.
Wolseley’s victory in the Ashanti War had cost just 18 men killed in battle and a further 55 dead from disease.
He had managed a campaign through dense jungle and had got his army in and out during the 3 month dry season.
Wolseley returned to a heros welcome in Britain.
Sir Garnet Wolseley was feted in the press as “Our Only General”.
His meticulous organisation led to a popular slang phrase in Victorian Britain: “All Sir Garnet” which meant everything was okay or sorted.

From Hostage to Emperor: The Rise of Osei Tutu and the Asante Empire
Osei Tutu was no ordinary king. His journey from a young hostage in a rival kingdom to the powerful Asantehene and architect of the mighty Asante Empire is a story of resilience, cunning, and unwavering ambition. In this video, we delve into the fascinating life of Osei Tutu, exploring his pivotal role in shaping the destiny of a nation.
From Captive to Conqueror: Osei Tutu's Early Life
Our journey begins in the shadow of the Denkyira kingdom, where a young Osei Tutu is held captive. Far from being resigned to his fate, he uses his time to study his enemies, learn their strengths and weaknesses, and forge alliances with other discontented tribes. When the opportunity arises, Osei Tutu escapes back to his homeland, vowing to one day overthrow Denkyira's oppressive rule.
Building an Empire: Osei Tutu's Reforms and Conquests
Back in Akwamu, Osei Tutu sets about unifying the disparate Asante chiefdoms. He establishes a centralized government, strengthens the military, and fosters a shared Asante identity. His strategic brilliance shines through in his masterful use of diplomacy and warfare, as he expands Asante territory through a series of calculated conquests.
The Golden Stool: A Symbol of Asante Unity and Power
One of Osei Tutu's most enduring legacies is the creation of the Sika'wa, or Golden Stool. This sacred object becomes the embodiment of Asante sovereignty and spiritual authority, uniting the Asante people under a single banner. The Golden Stool remains a potent symbol of Asante identity even today.
A Legacy that Endures: The Asante Empire's Impact on Africa and Beyond
Osei Tutu's reign marks a turning point in West African history. The Asante Empire, under his leadership, becomes a major economic and political power, forging trade relations with Europeans and establishing itself as a formidable force. Even after Osei Tutu's passing, the Asante Empire continues to thrive for centuries, leaving an indelible mark on the region and inspiring future generations.
Join us on this captivating journey through Osei Tutu's life and times. Witness his transformation from a hostage to a legendary emperor, and discover the secrets behind the rise of the mighty Asante Empire.

The biggest traditional Dubar ceremony in Memphis, meant to unify, honor ancestors and pray for the prosperity of the land and people.
The ceremony included an entrance parade for the king, song, and dance, and gift offerings on Beale Street today! The Asantehene sat in state. #memphis
"Otumfuo," in the Asante language, means "All-Powerful Majesty." "Asantehene" means "King of the Asante."
Those are the titles of the dignitary from West Africa who is in Memphis this week to represent his home nation of Ghana as the Memphis in May International Festival celebrates what it calls (perhaps redundantly) "International Week" — a time to contemplate the festival's "honored country" instead of barbecue and Megan Thee Stallion.
Asante King Otumfuo Osei Tutu II will attend the Memphis in May Festival for its salute to Ghana.
Since his "enstoolment" in 1999, the Asante king — who will celebrate his 72nd birthday Friday in Memphis — has occupied what is called "The Golden Stool." Symbolically represented in silhouette on Asante or Ashanti flag, the Golden Stool is a literal object, carved from wood and inlaid with gold, that represents "the royal and divine throne of kings of the Ashanti people and the ultimate symbol of power," according to the African American Registry, an online database that covers "African American heritage in the world."
Our culture is so beautiful 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
