The Asante are a proud tribe in Ghana, Africa. They have their own king, flag and history. Kumasi is their capital.
According to legend, the sword sticks out of the earth exactly where the Golden Stool descended from heaven, thus marking the beginning of the Asante people. It is said that should the sword ever be removed, the Asante kingdom will cease to exist. Unfortunately, although I arrived well within "office hours", the guard of the sword had already gone home with the key of the building.... The last landmark I visited was the Manhyia Palace, built by the British to accomodate the King upon arrival from the Seychelles where he had been in exile at the beginning of the 20th century. The actual king now has his own, new palace and the old palace is turned into a museum. Where you might expect huge rooms and luxurious furniture, the palace is actually a humble house with humble furnishing. This certainly added to my respect for the King. In some rooms, wax copies of deceased Kings and Queen Mothers can be found which are very realistic indeed. The first one I saw actually made me think that I had the honour to meet His Majesty in person.
