Mysteries of Great Zimbabwe: The Lost City of the Shona”
Uncover the secrets of Great Zimbabwe, the legendary stone city built by the Shona people between 1100 and 1450 AD in what is now Masvingo Province, Zimbabwe. This episode dives deep into one of Africa’s greatest archaeological marvels, exploring how the Bantu/Shona civilization constructed massive dry-stone walls, towers, and enclosures without mortar—an engineering achievement that still puzzles historians today.

Through breathtaking aerial footage of the Great Enclosure and the Hill Complex, we reveal how Great Zimbabwe once thrived as a powerful kingdom and a bustling trade hub, linking the African interior with the Swahili Coast through the exchange of gold, ivory, and iron.

Experts and archaeologists explain how the site’s grandeur challenges outdated colonial myths and showcases the ingenuity of African civilization. We also explore local legends linking Great Zimbabwe to the Queen of Sheba, adding a layer of mystery and cultural depth.

Join us as we rediscover a city that stands as an “exceptional testimony” to Africa’s Iron Age innovation, trade, and identity.
