THEY ARE DAHOMEANs!

In tribute to the valiant ''Amazons, the Agodjié'' of Dahomey (now Benin), a statue erected!

The Dahomey Amazons (Fon: "Agojie", "Agoji", "Mino", or "Minon") were a Fon all-female military regiment of the Kingdom of Dahomey which existed from the 1600s until 1904.

Bow down to the most exceptional female warrior who ever lived (Tassin Hangbè).

💪🏾 Ultra-powerful, the Amazons of Dahomey formed an exclusively female army, which their statue "L'AMAZONE" has finally unveiled in Cotonou, Benin.

👉🏿 30m high.... The #monument entitled ''Amazone'' aims to establish a strong identity symbol in tribute to the Amazons of Dahomey.

👉🏿 This is a metal structure statue with a bronze envelope with an overall height of 30 meters.

👉🏿 "By this monument not only pays tribute to female bravery, but places women at the heart of development".
Says, President Patrice Talon.

The place d'AMAZONE has been the new attraction in COTONOU, Benin.

🎥 And the story of these warriors has been told in a film, with the incredible Viola Davis in (The Woman King!), the #1 Movie in America with an A+ Cinema Score! Playing exclusively in theaters since September 16.
