Great Zimbabwe Ruins (Zimbabwe)
The Great Zimbabwe Ruins are the remains of an ancient city that was the capital of the Kingdom of Zimbabwe during the Late Iron Age, flourishing between the 11th and 15th centuries.
This site, which includes impressive stone structures and walls built without mortar, stands as a testament to the architectural and engineering prowess of the Shona people. The ruins reflect the rich history of African civilizations and their contributions to global culture, challenging the misconception that Africa lacked advanced societies before European colonization.
