Zimbabwe means "stone" in Bantu, so Greater Zimbabwe is also called "stone city". This stone town is rich in African culture, and the former Monomotapa Kingdom is the epitome of Zimbabwean culture.
Monomotapa Kingdom is located in present-day Zimbabwe and Mozambique. It is a very important ancient civilization in ancient southern Africa, also known as the kingdom of Mvenimatapa, and is famous for its "stone city" and gold trade.
It is generally believed that the kingdom of Monomotapa was founded between10-12nd century. 19 17, the contract of mwinyi matapa was murdered by the Portuguese, which marked the demise of the dynasty.
The supreme ruler of the kingdom of Motapa is the king, who is the chief executive of the country and the commander-in-chief of the army, and has the highest power in the country. Under the king, there are the governor's office, the king's guard, the secret police, musicians and witchcraft institutions. The inheritance system of the kingdom of Motapa is similar to the autocratic system in the East.
The architecture of Greater Zimbabwe represents the civilization level of the people at that time. Although modern Africa gradually lagged behind many countries in the world in the process of western colonial invasion, it also created brilliant civilizations in the past.
