Kingdom of Butua Ruins | Zimbabwe, Africa

[@Jenjen-qc5eq]

I love the way Africans embrace their African American brother, as a member of the diaspora it like watching a family member returning home after a long time. UK

[@PAAKWAMEPAA]

Thank you so much for showing this to us. You are a great educator, it’s a wonderful feeling to know about the intelligence and understanding of mathematics that these people had to have in order to engineer such tall buildings that have lasted for hundreds of years. Thank you so much for teaching me this, please continue to tell these stories and show your adventures, this has made my day.

Lol, one of the guards is my uncle. You would have learned a lot if you had sat down with him, I haven't met a man with a deeper understanding of our history and culture.

Which one was he? I actually did sit down with one guy which is why I was able to have some knowledge of the site.

This was chief Mlevu Ndlovu kingdom from kalanga tribe, he later joined by a ndebele chief called Soluswe NDLOVU from Gatsheni clan. They moved away from the area by colonilists.

Kalanga/karanga built these ruins

[@kenneth2455]

Kalangas only man

[@_genova6230]

@@kenneth2455 kalanga/karanga are the same people, some karangas are just kalangas that moved north ,north east and east ,and not only one peoples stayed at khami one of the things the trowa dynasty is famous for is intergrating other groups into their kindom last point the torwa moved from great zim(but not only the torwa other people and skills left great zim) which was a colbarative effort the reason shona people have languges so and traditions so similar was because pf prior centralistaion (great zim and the many surrounding centers) the torwa themselves probebly didnt see themselves as separte peoples having been in the same vaccinity as other shona peoples for hundreds of years lots of the separtion is recent most of all mashona used to be called kalanga /karanga ,but either way the we'ev lost the name of the singular architect ....

In rozvi culture and worship there is no use of a cross ,so how come there is a large cross on top of the hill at kharma ruins

[@anenyashamusonza8336]

Does it mean that the kingdom of Butua and Torwa are one and the same thing)

[@enosmugadzaweta9384]

The cross there could be another explanation. The natives believed in Mwari (God) before the Europeans came. The oldest Jews are known to come from Zimbabwe- to a point the Eurpeans thought Solomon hid his Gold treasure in what is known as Zimbabwe now. Cecil John Rhodes called it Orpher and got fellows to track down to help colonise. The locals used a medium to worship(spirit) God. The concept of Jesus could have been distorted over time to anyone in the ancestry. So later on they used the ancestors and spirit to communicate with God. This was demonised by the Europeans to a point were a lot of Morden day Zimbabweans associate it with witch craft and idol worship. People should research on the African Jews to get a better understanding

[@grillz26]

The question I have is what language did these people speak as this place is in matebeland ??

[@sebzhamatv]

Karanga now Kalanga. Remember the place is called Matebeleland because it was later invaded by Mzilikazi the Ndebele King. Matebeleland is home to many people other than Ndebele speaking people, like Tonga, Tswana, Shangani, Venda, Kalanga and Sotho people and even Xhosa

[@gaonesetlalekgosi5311]

No that cross is not European it's from our ancestors they stand for the for 4 celestial stars that crucifies the sun around 21 June wen we celebrate our African birth of the sun (zuva) this happens around 25 December for Europe, so the cross of Jesus originated from this idea

[@jaycee9752]

We do not find anything useful today from looking and studying ruins made out of stones. The Almighty forbade His people Israel from building stone buildings or stone altars. There you are, it is a waste of time to study ruins, which are best left forgotten. Let us build our nation Zimbabwe, without digging up a long gone past.

[@jackholman5008]

Facts

[@mticha9566]

The great history is what Zimbabwe is all about. Those ruins are our heritage and we should be proud of our ancestors for building such an amazing structure. They must be preserved forever and ever.

[@kenbash2951]

Sad news for you- these ruins were built many centuries before 1,500 and not by the indigenous peoples- sorry.

[@kenbash2951]

This isn't about race it's about technology, bro. How did they shape and move millions of granite blocks and why did they suddenly stop? Why aren't they still designing and constructing these structures today- did they somehow forget how?
