About this listen
In 1897, British soldiers invaded the mighty Kingdom of Benin—burning its walls, looting its treasures, and calling it a “punitive expedition.” The legendary Benin Bronzes were stolen, its people scattered, and a civilization that once stood as Africa’s pride was brought to its knees. This episode tells the untold story of how empire met greed, and how art became the evidence of a crime the world still refuses to correct.
