Скачать или смотреть The Benin Story Untold: The Festival That Changed History | 1897 Benin Kingdom Documentary

The Benin Kingdom — once one of Africa’s greatest empires — stood as a beacon of art, power, and spiritual strength.
But behind the walls of its glory lies a forgotten moment — a sacred festival that set destiny in motion.

In this short documentary-style narration, we revisit the ancient Igue Festival — a time when the Oba’s people celebrated renewal, strength, and the divine.
A festival so sacred that no outsider was allowed entry.
But when foreign visitors ignored that tradition, history was forever rewritten.

Join us as we explore:

The deep symbolism of the Igue Festival

The unspoken laws that guarded Benin’s spiritual heart

The misunderstanding that led to the 1897 British Punitive Expedition

The courage, culture, and pride of the Edo people


This is not just history — it’s a story of heritage, respect, and the power of tradition.
🎧 Watch till the end and discover how a celebration became the spark that changed an empire.
