This site is a historical landmark where the Legendary Okomfo Anokye Sword is cited. The Sword site is the exact place where the Golden Stool of Asanteman descended unto the laps of King Osei Tutu I,” Opemsuo” the founder of Asante Nation. The site was predicted by Okomfo Anokye to be a healing place for millions of people.
Lo and behold, the site happens to be the exact place where the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital is situated within Bantama, a suburb of Kumasi Metro.
