Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: This is a picture I took on the grounds of the Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, in Kumasi, Ghana in late July or Early August, 1995. It is said that this is the blade of the sword that the priest Okomfo Anokye buried to the hilt as a symbol of the strength of the Ashanti People sometime around the year 1690. It marks the spot where the first King of the Ashanti people was standing when the "Golden Stool" came down from the Heavens and landed in front of Osei Tutu. The legend is that as long as the sword remains in the ground, the Ashanti kingdom will not be destroyed. The doctor who told me the story, said that Europeans came along at one time with tanks and chains to pull the sword out of the ground, but they only managed to pull off the handle of the blade, and the blade remains in the ground as of when the picture was taken in the summer of 1995., Kumasi. |
