As Andrianampoinimerina was born in the auspicious month of ''Alahamady'', the first month in the Malagasy year, his grandfather predicted royal destiny and oversaw his grandson's Merina education at Amboatany and later at the court in Ambohimanga. Today, Andrianampoinimerina is the most popular of the Malagasy kings, because Madagascar's unification was based on his territorial actions. <googlemap versionHTML5video type="0.9" lat=youtube">bO_bE6wL-18zA</HTML5video> There are 74 people living in Amboatany (November 2013).757878" lon="47The village has a church and a small school.535583" zoom <div style="16" controls="largemax-width:600px;">{{#display_map:-18.757878763394, 47.535583536978~'''Amboatany'''~~;|type=satellite|service=google|width=auto|height=400|zoom=17|controls=pan, Amboatanyzoom, type, scale|copycoords=yes|icon=https://www.madacamp.com/images/madagascar/Green_marker.png}}</googlemapdiv> == Additional information == * https://www.madatana.com/colline-amboatany.php View all [[Amboatany photos]]
