On the territory of today Ghana, in the 18th century an Empire riches its golden age, it was the Ashanti Empire. Everything was then destroyed by the European Colonialists from Portugal, Netherlands and Britain. They all took all the riches (gold and ivory and more) and then they transformed the people into slaves and were sold in America and Europe. The things that show us a little bit of that empire are a few houses built of clay, straw and wood, and are vulnerable to natural fluctuations. There is therefore a need for the preservation of the buildings. The buildings were described as "home of men and gods". From 1980 those houses are included in UNESCO World Heritage List. Thank you Emmanuele for the beautiful cards from Ghana.

Pe teritoriul Ghanei de astăzi, în secolul al XVIII-lea a ajuns la apogeu Imperiul Asante sau Ashanti. Totul a fost distrus de colonialismul european. Fără excepţie, portughezii, olandezii şi britanicii au profitat de bogăţiile locului şi i-au transformat de oameni în sclavi ce erau apoi vânduţi în Americi sau Europa. Amintirile fizice despre bogăţia imperiului sunt minime dar au scăpat câteva construcţii de lut, lemn şi paie, simboluri ale unei civilizaţii, casele tradiţionale asante. Din 1980 aceste case sunt incluse în Patrimoniul UNESCO fiind foarte vulnerabile schimbărilor meteorologice şi ar fi păcat ca aceste ultime dovezi să dispară. Mulţumesc Emmanuele pentru vederile frumoase din Ghana.
