ZIMBABWE ~ Great Zimbabwe - UNESCO ~

... Nice ruins view of a magnificent historical site of a royal empire of Africa from the Middle Ages...  an archaeological wonder where history of a lost civilization comes alive... it is a unique place home to the largest ancient ruins in all of Africa... the Geat Zimbabwe ruins are not only an ancient city but the place hosts a lot of ancient spirits that local people still consult... it is one of the places where they pay homage to their ancestors... this medieval architectural masterpiece was created on a hill with rudimentary granite bricks... Great Zimbabwe National Monument is the country's main cultural attraction and one of the most visited archaeological sites in Zimbabwe... Thanks a lot Alena!(✿◠‿◠)

Great Zimbabwe is known for its large circular wall and tower. It was part of a wealthy African trading empire that controlled much of the East African coast from the 11th to the 15th centuries C.E.

Great Zimbabwe gave the country its name, Zimbabwe, in 1980 after gaining independence from England. Zimbabwe means "stone house" in the Shona language, and the houses of that time were all built of granite stone.
