@Mighty_Shnikins Thanks for your interest in the site. We will report our findings here and in scientific publications as they surface.

[Milot Archaeological Project @milotarch]

@Mighty_Shnikins That source cites one interpretation, which assumes construction began when Christophe became king. Other sources, now corroborated by our archaeological excavations, push the construction earlier, when Christophe was Chef d’Etat if the northern state.

[Milot Archaeological Project @milotarch]

@Mighty_Shnikins The important point, one that is universally accepted by all credible sources, is that the complex was constructer AFTER the end of the French colonial occupation.

[Milot Archaeological Project @milotarch]

@Mighty_Shnikins The dates you cite (reported on Wikipedia) might relate to one part of the site but not the entire complex. Twitter is not the place to explain the complex construction history of the site, which our archaeological team has published elsewhere......

[Milot Archaeological Project @milotarch]

@Mighty_Shnikins The Haitian Revolution began in 1791 and ended with the expulsion of the last French forces at the Battle of Vertières in November of 1803, and the French never reoccupied Haiti. This complex was designed and built by the Haitian architect Chéri Warloppe between 1806 and 1813.

@butteposter1 @ConanOBrien The complex was designed and built by the Haitian architect Chéri Warloppe between 1806 and 1813. Sadly, it was destroyed in an earthquake that devastated the region in 1842.

[Milot Archaeological Project @milotarch]

@AltSwitters @ConanOBrien No, this is the home of King Henry Christophe. Born a slave in Granada, he served as a drummer in the battle of Savannah in the Am Revolution, became an officer during the Haitian Revolution, and staved of French colonial reconquest until his untimely death in 1820. A real hero.

@ThuleLives @ConanOBrien The palace complex was built by the Haitian architect Chéri Warloppe between 1806 and 1813. The French were not involved.
