Walls of Benin
Adimchi
The Walls of Benin were a complex system of fortifications that spanned over 6,000 kilometers (3,700 miles). They consisted of ramparts, moats, and bastions, and were built with incredible precision and attention to detail. The walls were constructed using a technique known as "rammed earth," which involved compressing layers of earth and clay between wooden frames to create a solid wall. The walls were then reinforced with layers of palm oil and palm fiber, which made them resistant to erosion and weathering. This level of engineering skill was truly remarkable for its time, and it allowed the Benin Kingdom to establish a strong defensive position that helped to ward off many invading armies. The walls were also an important part of the kingdom's trade and commerce network, allowing the rulers to control the flow of goods and people in and out of the city. Today, the Walls of Benin stand as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of West Africa and the remarkable achievements of the Edo people. While much of the wall has been lost over time, efforts are underway to preserve and protect what remains so that future generations can appreciate and learn from this incredible engineering marvel."
