Akan pre-history and Neo Akanist

[Awurade Kasa @AkanAxis]

Many Akan communities trace their origins to sacred forest sites and rock shelters through oral traditions. Archaeological evidence not only confirms the indigenous origins of the Akan but also shows that many settlement sites were occupied for thousands of years.

@Adgarpo1 @sunbeltblues Here’s another example:

The eagle feathered headdress of the chief sword bearer of Offinso, Asante

[Awurade Kasa @AkanAxis]

@Adgarpo1 @sunbeltblues It’s quite literally the most common headdress worn in Akanman.

@NativeLandgrab @AkanArchives Unless you’re from Egypt or Sudan, the likely hood of you being a direct descendant of an ancient Egyptian is nonsense and psuedo. Yes they were Africa but there were multiple civilizations developing independently of each other, just like in Asia and Europe.

[Awurade Kasa @AkanAxis]

@NativeLandgrab @AkanArchives Hey buddy, there’s no connection. Just like how there’s no direct connection to the inhabitants of the Indus Valley Civilization and Yellow River Valley Civilization just because they share the same continent.

[Akan Archives @AkanArchives]

Eva Meyerowitz is not a credible historian. This book has done irreparable damage to Akan history. Meyerowitz deliberately chose to ignore the stories of Akan traditonal rulers who said their people were indigenous to their own lands, & instead pushed the false claims that Akans came from Egypt & North Africa.

@AkanAseserm @Kay_Ghar @simpattack Read a goddamn book and stop this fantasy. You’re not a Hebrew, Egyptian or some ancient royal migrant from Mali. Use your brain, our language, culture, customs and people can’t be found anywhere else but Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire and parts of Togo. Stop being an idiot.

[Awurade Kasa @AkanAxis]

@AkanAseserm @Kay_Ghar @simpattack My guy, learn how to read and stop being argumentative. Two archaeologists went to Ashanti Region and found evidence of the Akans being long term inhabitants of the forest. You believing you’re an Israelite is mental illness.

[Awurade Kasa @AkanAxis]

@AkanAseserm @Kay_Ghar @simpattack What you’re saying has been disproven for over 3 decades now.

[Awurade Kasa @AkanAxis]

@Kay_Ghar @ChiefWitxh @KissiSteve This person is ignorant, they’re clearly willingly to die on this hill instead of admitting they’re wrong.

[Awurade Kasa @AkanAxis]

@Nii_Noi @AkanArchives @ChiefWitxh Read more books you ignorant fool:

[KayGh 🌋 @Kay_Ghar]

Ghana as a modern state was established in 1957, so any group that has lived here over time, including Hausas, is just as Ghanaian as anyone else.
At the same time, migration narratives about Akans settling in the region are not accurate. Akans, like the Guans and Ga-Dangme, are indigenous to the area and have longstanding roots rather than being settlers.

@Nii_Noi @AkanArchives @ChiefWitxh Hey moron, this nonsense has been disproven for the last 40 years, but you’re clearly late to the party. The Akan are indigenous to the central forest belt, I suggest you read more books before you embarrass yourself even further:

[Awurade Kasa @AkanAxis]

This theory was popularized by British colonial historian Eva Meyerowitz, who collected long-distance migration stories in the 1950s, many of which have since been refuted by the very oral historians she referenced, or proven exaggerated or misunderstood.

@GeneralPorcupin Aowin invaded Asante in the early 18th century as well, during the war campaigns against Akyem.

@nubianohemaa @akanspace @eben_offen @Akanarts @AkanArchives @MeraNkron @AkanfoAbrabo Gold was used for external trade, primarily between states while internally people bartered with goods produced locally or from elsewhere. More information can be found here: https://t.co/D0jeM5oh4Q

Free history education: the Asante Kingdom isn't the beginning of when the groups that formed the union came to Ghana. The Kwabres, Sekyeres, Adanses, Ahafos, Atwimas, etc. merely joined forces centering around the Golden Stool. But they had been here for ages since Bono States.

[Awurade Kasa @AkanAxis]

@domynych Asantemanso is one of the oldest Akan towns in the forest interior. Archaeologists excavated various areas in the Asante region for 9 years and discovered large scale towns in Adanse and Amansie.

[Awurade Kasa @AkanAxis]

Archaeological excavations from 1986 to 1995 revealed that by the 9th–10th centuries, southern Akan towns like Asantemanso, had large urban settlements that engaged in gold trade, ironworking, and pottery making.

@BTNupdates I’m sorry man, you can’t even comprehend the chart you just posted. I’m genuinely sorry for taking your serious.

[Awurade Kasa @AkanAxis]

@BTNupdates You still don’t get it. “Indigenous to the forest belt” refers to Akan ethnogenesis in that region, not where a deep upstream Y-DNA branch split tens of thousands of years ago. The Akan people and language didn’t exist over 10,000 years ago.

[Awurade Kasa @AkanAxis]

@BTNupdates You’re psuedo because this doesn’t even prove what you think it does. If anything you just exposed yourself. Dude I can’t believe you just posted this 😂😂😂

[Awurade Kasa @AkanAxis]

@BTNupdates That chart does not prove direct descent. A distance plot shows relative similarity in a chosen dataset, not language origin or ethnic ancestry. Niger-Congo is still a distinct language family, and Akan are Central Tano (Kwa), not Semitic 💀
