The largest single man made site on the planet

The Great Walls of Benin today Edo, Nigeria ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌ were a series of more than 500 interconnected earth walls (Edo: Iya) in the area around present-day Benin City.

They extended for some 16,000 km in all, took an estimated 150 million hours of digging to construct and were perhaps the largest single man made site on the planet in the absence of modern Earthmoving machines. This wall was destroyed to the ground by the British and their allies.

Respect and Honour to Great Benin Ancestors
