I've heard about the Great Zimbabwe site several times, but because some believed it to be of foreign origin, and since I never heard anything about any other sites(in fact, all the wild documentaries about it praise it for being so bloody unique) - I assumed it existed in a state of vacuum, where it just appeared mysteriously without any similar sites anywhere close. But obviously that was wrong, and I'm glad you chose to focus a lot on all these other sites, they are the testimony of a great African civilisation, the wast complex of sites - and not just one site alone. We're talking about a wide-spread culture linked with other cultures in the region, forming an organic African society with a healthy trade with other continents. They lived in a society.

For those saying that Great Zimbabwe was inspired by foreign influence, this is not possible because we all know that the closest foreign influence they could get is from Swahili Coast. And Swahili architecture is totally different from Great Zimbabwe (Giant circular non-roofed strucures, conical towers built in hills using dry-stone techniques and well-cut blocks, while swahili used corals, built pillars only in tombs, mosques rectilinear buildings and they used mortar - not dry stone techniques - and the mosques were built using irregular-shaped blocks). They were totally different.

The earliest known written mention of the Great Zimbabwe ruins was in 1531 by Vicente Pegado, captain of the Portuguese garrison of Sofala, on the coast of modern-day Mozambique, who recorded it as Symbaoe. Those 16th century Portuguese explorers were traveling everywhere, but I don't think anything was ever really "lost", so many nations from so many different parts of the world had knowledge of places like this. I think that the problem was how history has been recorded and taught especially since printing became available. In some way Rome's conquest of the Druids in Anglesey, Britain and subsequent dumbing down of the natives etc in the very one sided, limited history of pre Roman Britain is an example of what "I think" happened here. When one side controls the narrative, not only does truth become distorted, so too does the history. Aside from that though; what fascinates me are those ancient "eagle", or bird statues that Rhodes took from Great Zimbabwe, I've watched some Michael Tellinger videos about very similar artifacts being discovered in South Africa, I wonder what the connection was, if there was one.

[@Alex_Plante]

I'm fascinated by the African civilizations of West Africa (Benin, Ghana, etc.) and also by the great Bantu migration into Central and Southern Africa. The culture of the Zimbabwe plateau was probably at or near the southern limit of the Bantu expansion as well as being at the furthest limits of Indian ocean trade networks, so it was truly a frontier civilization. I'm intrigued that genetic testing shows that the aristocrats were of Koi-San ancestry. I suspect that the Bantu migrations occurred in waves, and that probably the earliest waves were by small bands of Bantu men who married local Koi-San women, and their descendants became the local aristocracy ruling over later waves of Bantu immigrants, that were perhaps larger and came with Bantu women. So you may have ended up with a ruling class that was culturally Bantu but of mixed Koi-San / Bantu ancestry ruling over a largely Bantu population.

Yours goes into more detail on this area and it helps because I know that when white European culture looks into native culture they always think that they are not capable of doing anything this fantastic so it had to be someone else who did this. It was this way in North and South America and Australia along with the Pacific Islands. The African people are a very lovely people who are much more forgiving of what has been done to them. They have had their lands exploited by Europeans who thought they were smarter and that nothing the native population did was noteworthy. Your show hopefully will open the eyes to others who are looking for information on Africa.
