Great Zimbabwe

   
       

The Ancient Ruins of Great Zimbabwe, UNESCO World Heritage Site, Zimbabwe, Africa, by Andrew Mcconnell . . .  —  Buy this art print at AllPosters.com
 
 
 


Meaning "sacred house" in Bantu, it is the largest ancient stone construction south of the Sahara, covering nearly 1,800 acres composed of three distinct sets of ruins known as the Hill Complex, the Valley Complex, and the Great Enclosure
.


Built between the 12th and 15th centuries by the ancestors of the Shona, one of Zimbabwe's many Bantu-speaking groups, Great Zimbabwe is made of dry masonry with stones shaped and fitted together with no mortar, but marvelously accurate, resembling the skill of the Inca builders of Peru.

It is believed that at some point the stone complex may have had as many as 18,000 inhabitants.


Some of Great Zimbabwe's walls are over five meters (16.4 feet) high and were constructed without mortar. Eventually the city was abandoned and fell into ruin.


White colonial settlers at one time linked Great Zimbabwe to the source of King Solomon's gold, the fabled city of Ophir.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny, shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since 1995 — at first in a free web space provider (Tripod.com), and in 1997 finally with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the curious and the unusual.
