Extracted from Description: “Rising out of the highlands of Sub-Saharan Africa are the ruins of the long-secluded, spectacular Great Zimbabwe. Dismissed by racist explorers as the work of some ancient black civilisation and stripped by ignorance and prejudice of many of it's priceless artefacts, white colonisers were certain that Black Africans could not have built the towering stone walls. Only now, after a century of abuse, is the Great Zimbabwe reclaiming it's uniquely African heritage. But can archeologists undo the years of preceding damage? Perhaps the real mystery connected with this site is why society and archeologists took so long to recognise the Great Zimbabwe for what it is: South Africa's first city.”
