  1. It was never a city, nothing indicating a city in any form !!! The bloody Shona found the abadoned site and moved in claiming it like everything else !!! The Shona could not have built it if their lives depended on it !!! Same applies to Mapungubwe,,, the palace on top of the rock is a joke !!!

  2. "Madzimbabwe" is not a correct Shona word. Zimbabwe is simply these words "Zi" (huge), "imba" (house), and "bwe" (stone). So, its "huge house of stone". Its not grammatically correct in Shona to say: "madzimba". Also "zimba" is not plural but singular and so you cannot use "ma-" on house but on stones making up the house, which indicates plural. "zi-imba" is simply one huge house, hence the contraction, "zimbabwe".

  3. This is trash. Everybody knows that civilisation in the globe is traced from around 1000AD. Anything behind is pre-historic. Even Europe's civilisation is traced to as far as 1000AD. This was the time of characters like Hagar the Horrible, Ivan The Terrible, etc. Might you want the true history of Great Zimbabwe, allow me to school you in your channel. Am ready and can help you open up

  4. Those are not shona people you showed they're Shanghani people not shona. Shona people had actual clothes and they did not practice tribal makings. The reason why you do this is because you are mixed race yourself a foreigner ,africans are not brown there is a reason why people call us black skinned.

  5. I beg to differ that it is Shona (even if the word is very recent too) who build Gt Zimbabwe. Yes the Shona could have named it Gt Zimbabwe but it is likely to have been constructed by the KaLanga before migrating to SA, compare with Mapungubwe. The Shonas never reverred Birds and Crocodiles. It is a long historical story …..Why couldn't the Shona keep building such?
