Great Zimbabwe: The ruins of the Citadel and Royal Enclosure

Great Zimbabwe is the ruined capital of a late Iron Age Civilization situated near Lake Mutirikwe in Zimbabwe. It dates from the 11th to the 14th Centuries. It covers an area of over 700 hectares. The most prominent ruins visible today are the Citadel - on the central hill - and the Royal enclosure.

How is it that the back round song is Ndebele inspired instead of being Shona

[@guillaumerusengo9371]

Of maybe Kalanga, the true stone builders!

@Ozzy Mandias Thug? I am a truth seeker and fake curricula slayer. I wish Africans would really wake up, their intellect was raped!

[@guillaumerusengo9371]

@Q S Language does not always equate origin, stupid! People have always abandoned or adopted languages! That architecture is from further South not North where shonas came from, centuries after that development.

you should use Zimbabwean music at the start, no offence intended.

I’m not sure it’s a city. A village yes, a town maybe but a city ? Don’t think so.

[@blessingmasawi3616]

amazing, even though it had the same population as London did at the time. Astrology, Drainage etc.

[@stevengwenya5262]

That was built by Europeans I'm sure of that.

[@itumo2645]

Steve Ngwenya What a dumb assertion to make. So Europeans built hundreds of stone settlements in Southern Africa, yet there’s no genetic evidence of them every being there? This was built by the Shona people. Stone masonry exists in southern, Eastern and Western Africa
