The Great City of Benin (Edo): A Lesson on African Architecture (and British Theft)
For our first episode back, we examine one of Africa's finest medieval cities known to its locals are Edo and foreigners as Benin. We examine the city and kingdom's origin, its structure, what made it so great and just why every visitor to the city was stunned by what they saw. We also examine one of the most revered Edo traditions - the Benin Bronzes and of course how it declined and the role of the British in that.
