Benin City, the Mighty Medieval Capital Now Lost Without Trace

Guardian UK


https://i.pinimg.com/originals/60/06/b5/6006b51fb301c12f5275f30584f7d044.jpg


With its mathematical layout and earthworks longer than the Great Wall of China, Benin City was one of the best planned cities in the world when London was a place of ‘thievery and murder’. So why is nothing left?

This is the story of a lost medieval city you’ve probably never heard about. Benin City, originally known as Edo, was once the capital of a pre-colonial African empire located in what is now southern Nigeria. The Benin empire was one of the oldest and most highly developed states in west Africa, dating back to the 11th century.

The Guinness Book of Records (1974 edition) described the walls of Benin City and its surrounding kingdom as the world’s largest earthworks carried out prior to the mechanical era. According to estimates by the New Scientist’s Fred Pearce, Benin City’s walls were at one point “four times longer than the Great Wall of China, and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops, [in Egypt]”.

Situated on a plain, Benin City was enclosed by massive walls in the south and deep ditches in the north. Beyond the city walls, numerous further walls were erected that separated the surroundings of the capital into around 500 distinct villages.

Pearce writes that these walls “extended for some 16,000 km in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They covered 6,500 sq km and were all dug by the Edo people … They took an estimated 150 million hours to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet”.

Barely any trace of these walls exist today.

Benin City was also one of the first cities to have a semblance of street lighting. Huge metal lamps, many feet high, were built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace. Fuelled by palm oil, their burning wicks were lit at night to provide illumination for traffic to and from the palace.

When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle. They called it the “Great City of Benin”, at a time when there were hardly any other places in Africa the Europeans acknowledged as a city. Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world.

In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain Lourenco Pinto observed: “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.”

In contrast, London at the same time is described by Bruce Holsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of “thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for exploitation by those with a skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket”.


African fractals

Benin City’s planning and design was done according to careful rules of symmetry, proportionality and repetition now known as fractal design. The mathematician Ron Eglash, author of African Fractals – which examines the patterns underpinning architecture, art and design in many parts of Africa – notes that the city and its surrounding villages were purposely laid out to form perfect fractals, with similar shapes repeated in the rooms of each house, and the house itself, and the clusters of houses in the village in mathematically predictable patterns.

As he puts it: “When Europeans first came to Africa, they considered the architecture very disorganised and thus primitive. It never occurred to them that the Africans might have been using a form of mathematics that they hadn’t even discovered yet.”


At the centre of the city stood the king’s court, from which extended 30 very straight, broad streets, each about 120-ft wide. These main streets, which ran at right angles to each other, had underground drainage made of a sunken impluvium with an outlet to carry away storm water. Many narrower side and intersecting streets extended off them. In the middle of the streets were turf on which animals fed.

“Houses are built alongside the streets in good order, the one close to the other,” writes the 17th-century Dutch visitor Olfert Dapper. “Adorned with gables and steps … they are usually broad with long galleries inside, especially so in the case of the houses of the nobility, and divided into many rooms which are separated by walls made of red clay, very well erected.”

Dapper adds that wealthy residents kept these walls “as shiny and smooth by washing and rubbing as any wall in Holland can be made with chalk, and they are like mirrors. The upper storeys are made of the same sort of clay. Moreover, every house is provided with a well for the supply of fresh water”.

Pipefitter:
America has saved a lot of people and ruined the lives of many too, sending someone to prison for 15 years on the account of a stripers statement and another 4 years for an old warrant.. where is the justice? Trump and his friends are known molesters but his is being protected by American SS and fed with tax payers money.

Ajsmart:
100 percent unadulterated truth from you. Without Nigeria, the U.K will degenerate into a 3rd world country within a decade. The U.K barely manufacture or export anything so it’s evident it needs Nigeria to stay corrupted and divided so as to support its own economy through unrestricted access to Nigeria’s resources.

England will always see Nigeria as a massive competition and victory for Nigeria over England I’m ANYTHING gives psychological advantages, and self-belief to its citizens which is one of England’s greatest fears.

Reference:
Britain has always looked upon Nigeria as a competitor and somewhat of an uneasy ally. Together with India, Nigeria was its most important cash cow and to the empire a highly regrettable loss at independence. It percolates through all walks of life.

1. Melania wasn't a p0rnstar.
2. He said "they LET you grab 'em by the...."
3. The Bible wasn't upside down, and even if it was, the mere fact that he was brave enough to walk to a church that was almost burnt down by violent Biden supporters, loudly & proudly standing with Christians all over the country, was enough for me. Christian Biden didn't condemn the attack on the church.
4. LGBT+ people are humans too, the Bible condemns the act not the people.
5. Biden proudly supports abortions, is that a Catholic stance? I'd rather have a Christian by mouth who uses his office to push Godly values that a practicing Catholic who pushes evil practices.
