Description

Great Zimbabwe is one of the most impressive stone cities in the world, yet for decades, colonial-era historians refused to accept it was built by local people. They preferred to believe in myths about foreign empires rather than acknowledge the skill of the kingdom that stood there. This video covers the story of how archaeologist Gertrude Caton-Thompson helped set the record straight through careful excavation. We explore the architectural marvel of the site and the struggle to reclaim its true history from centuries of misinformation. If you enjoy history that challenges colonial narratives and restores lost credit to ancient cultures, this one's for you.
