When treasure hunts from Europe rediscover Great Zimbabwe they thought it was Queen Sheba lost Queendom{Kingdom}.
Tip* {Queendom / Kingdom}
In Africa we had many female / Queen rulers, many ruled before a male / King would rule! Actually in Ethiopia- Egypt the word throne means the Queen / Queen- Mother lap! The King is her child! So the King sits on his mother lap!
Great Zimbabwe is a stoned Royal Palace / Courtyard! This is where the Royal Monarch ruled. Europeans where unsure of the dates because at the time when Great Zimbabwe was constructed much of European Monarch lived in wooden barns and dug- out caves which eventually they turn into castles.
For many years until the 19th century African people had been discredited of being the builders of Great Zimbabwe. Rhodesia is now the country of Zimbabwe in the southern part of Africa, denied access to the ruin and covered up and hid any evidence linking Black Africans to the ruin.
Tip*
Rhodesia is the colony {British} name for Zimbabwe. It is named after Cecil Rhodes the mining magnate and found of the world famous diamond company De Beers. He made Great Britain so much money that the Royal Monarchs parcel him so much land he could form his own country!
Great Zimbabwe is only one of over 200 stoned cities in southern Africa! This one just happens to be the largest of them all. No mortar is used and some parts of the wall stand 25 feet high and 17 feet thick. The stone city has a wall all the way around its circumference which is about 1,800 acres.
The country is named after the great city of Zimbabwe. There is not a lot known about the builders of the Great Zimbabwe the area was plagued by war, many indegious groups of Black Africans have ruled and fought in this area. {Much gold is in the area.}Like most great cities in the world as rulers, ruled over them they added on and put their own final touches on them!
Tip*
Some may not understand why I identify Africans as Black Africans? When you start getting into deep studies of Africa you will find that not all Africans are Black! Some are White {Afrikaner} and some are Arabs {Some Berber Tribes}. Its very important that these non- black indegious people be included in our history. They will not be wrote out of African History as they have tired to write us out of World History!
The history of Great Zimbabwe is distorted and is still be sorted out to this day! I will not go into great detail about Great Zimbabwe because new evidence is being found and studied everyday to help paint a more clear picture of what happen in this area to our ancestors, the area was devastated by the Arab Slave trade that went on in East and Southern Africa.
