Ashanti.wiki is a website built to promote the Ashanti Kingdom — Asanteman — and to introduce its history, institutions, culture and people to the widest possible audience, from Osei Tutu I to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II. It is fully bilingual (English and French) and the language automatically follows your browser's setting.
Our Mission
- Celebrate a kingdom that built a complex state, a body of law, an army and a gold economy, and that still exists today.
- Pass it on: a clear, well-sourced and enjoyable encyclopedia for students, travellers, researchers and the diaspora.
- Connect the Akan world: from Kumasi to Baoulé country, from the Tano River to the Ivorian lagoons.
What You Will Find Here
Dossiers on the origins, the Asantehenes, Yaa Asantewaa, the Golden Stool, the Twi language, Kumasi, the Tano River, a complete timeline and a glossary.
Sources and Approach
The content draws on a reference document on the Asante Empire, supplemented by public sources (encyclopedias, historians' work, cultural institutions). Where sources disagree or rest on oral tradition, we say so. Spotted a mistake? Write to us and we will correct it.
