Talk:Golden Stool

Untitled
I didn't think that anybody could sit on the Golden Stool, but that during the coronation ceremonies the king-to-be pretended to sit on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.180.3.242 (talk) 15:11, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Merging Golden Stool/Asante Royal Thrones
I think this article should be merged into the larger Asante royal thrones article, as this is only a stub and the other is much larger and complete. ---BMW, Minor Copy-Edit 05:20, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * All links to this page now go to asante royal thrones. Merger finished. ---BMW, Minor Copy-Edit 01:32, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Merging of Golden Stool/Asante royal thrones
The Golden Stool article should be merged with this one because this article is much bigger and more complete. The work needed to do so would be minor, as there are only a couple sentences at the the other article. ---BMW, Minor Copy-Edit 05:31, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree, go ahead if you'd like to do it. Tom Stringham 06:02, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, I will do it. I should be able to finish it, as well as wikifying, by tommorrow at 9:00 PM. ---BMW, Minor Copy-Edit 06:21, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Merger finished; Golden stools article now redirects to here. Wikification also finished. Further cleanup will be needed (Grammer, syntax, etcetera), but I am done here for now. ---BMW, Minor Copy-Edit 00:47, 18 September 2006 (UTC)


 * This article should be moved to Golden Stool from Asante royal thrones since that's the only Asante royal throne which it discusses (are there any others?). Kappa 00:51, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I understand that some also existed at tribal level but poorly documented.©Geni 13:28, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

No mention of this being in blandford
This throne is in the royal signals museum in blandford. Surely must merit a mention?94.172.135.224 (talk) 17:24, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

the surrender of the stool
At the Mueseum of the Ashanti in Kumasi 27 November 1988 the guide told us that the Ashanti never surrendered the real stool. At independence, the British offered to return the stool. They were surprised that the Ashanti seemed disinterested, so the Ashanti explained that they had created a replica to surrender, so that the real stool had remained in Ashanti hands. 08:22, 7 June 2019 (UTC)~ Noel Ellis — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noel Ellis (talk • contribs)
