Great Walls of Benin have been largely forgotten

The Walls of Benin City was the world’s largest

man-made earth structure lengthwise, and was

hailed as the largest earthwork in the world.

The Benin Walls were ravaged by the British in

1897 during what has come to be called the

Punitive expedition.

Scattered pieces of the structure remain in Edo,

with the vast majority of them being used by the

locals for building purposes.

The Walls of Benin were used as a defense of

the now defunct Kingdom of Benin and now the

capital of the present-day Edo State of Nigeria.

They took an estimated 150 million hours of

digging to construct, and are perhaps the largest

single archaeological phenomenon on the planet

What remains of the wall itself continues to be

torn down for real estate developments.
