The "diversity" they refer to is the Roman/Anglo-Saxon/Norman diversity...

[@marquonuk]

I was recently watching some vintage UK TV shows originally broadcast in the 1950s and 1960s (as is my wont). One of the things noticeable, if all this current diversity is on your mind as you watch these old shows, is how few non-white faces you see in each programme, if any at all - whether it be a drama, quiz show, panel game, kids' show, documentary, news, vox pop, comedy, advertisements, etc. It's yet another cultural example of how the current obsession with pretending the UK has been multicultural for decades (if not centuries - see Bridgerton) is simply unsupported. One was episodes of the (superb) TV series Callan, a great cold war espionage drama starring Edward Woodward, set largely in the demonstrably 99% monocolour London of the 1960s (and not just because it was filmed in black & white). The one exception to this that comes to mind is Top of the Pops, that started in 1964, where famous black singers and groups (like Chuck Berry, Louis Armstrong, Jimi Hendrix, Aretha Franklin, and Little Richard) regularly appeared alongside mostly white artists, but back then they were visitors from abroad, mostly America, and with very few exceptions not from the UK. The colour of a person's skin doesn't bother me one way or the other, but people telling obvious porkies about what people did or didn't do in history does. Like a drunken man loudly gatecrashing a party, it just embarrasses everyone...

[@augustcanyon3438]

That's because they are revising history for the Great Replacement (which requires the subjugation and erasure of white people from Western lands).

The original pillars has been taken by a local war lord to trade for Ammunition. The engineer in charge of the project was later found to be a 16 year old school boy named George Agdgwango who had no formal training in structural engineering. Over the ensuing years the remaining animal dung pillars were with stolen amd held hostage or consumed with water as traditional medicine.

Simon I agree with the gist of what you said, but looking at some pictures of the walls of Great Zimbabwe they actually appear to be very neatly constructed, certainly not haphazardly arranged piles of rocks.

I have done archaeology in the State of Mississippi and found the remains of wattle and daub huts there built around the same time as Great Zimbabwe. The only reason part of these structures were preserved is because they burned and the mud was fired like brick. You could still see impressions of the reed mats over which the clay/mud mixture was smeared. At this time in the American Southeast the Native Americans were building earthen mounds shaped like pyramids atop which were temples or the houses of chiefs. The Natchez were still doing this in Mississippi when the French showed up in the late 17th and early 18th Century.

Zimbabwe Ruins was not the centre of a great civilization. It was a massive trading post and collection area. It is situated perfectly to access the great hunting areas as well as the rich gold and emerald deposits. The high hill of the acropolis allowed the traders to burn fires at night which could be seen from great distances, guiding those inbound to sell their wares. It is also very close to the save river, which is big enough to run barges directly to the coast. The Chevron pattern on the Eastern wall of the great enclosure is the marker, when using the sun and shadow to accurately know the equinox. Thereby knowing exactly when the traders must depart from Zimbabwe to meet the dhows at the coast. It is a magnificent construction to be sure. And very well built. Over time the construction definitely became better structured and the rocks more even in shape and size.

@@NanakiRowan “Many tribes, including the Shona and Venda, maintain that their ancestors were responsible for Great Zimbabwe, but the Lemba are "particularly insistent," says Tudor Parfitt. "They claim that one of their clans, the Tovakare, were the actual builders of Zimbabwe," he says. "They even call them Tovakare Muzimbabwe, which means `the ones that built Zimbabwe.'" Certain evidence appears to support the Lemba claim. For instance, unlike other Bantu tribes, who bury their dead in a crouched posture, the Lemba bury theirs in an extended position, as did the ancient Zimbabweans. One of the strongest pieces of evidence concerns trade, Parfitt says. "Great Zimbabwe was a civilization that was constructed very largely on wealth generated from cattle and trade. And given that for hundreds of years we know the Lemba were the great traders of southern Africa, it seems almost certain that their ancestors would have been involved in this trading nexus between Great Zimbabwe and the Indian Ocean." - PBS Nova (2000), Mystery of Great Zimbabwe
