Great Shona Mashona Zimbabwe From the 1500s onwards many rumours made their way to Europe about stone cities in the interior of southern Africa.
However, because Africa was considered an uncivilised continent, they were passed off as the work of outsiders like King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, or of the wealthy Christian priest, Prester John, who was thought to live somewhere in Africa.
So widespread were these ideas that the first European to encounter the remarkable ruins of Great Zimbabwe in 1871 was convinced that it was indeed the palace of the Queen of Sheba.
The earliest researchers who worked at Great Zimbabwe were so certain that a mysterious race built it that they interpreted everything that they saw according to this belief.
Their science and archaeology were so poor in some cases that they actually damaged the sites.
However, the idea that Great Zimbabwe was built by a very ancient race that lived some three to four thousand years ago suited some people for political and economic reasons. People like Cecil Rhodes, for example, actively promoted this notion, as it provided an excuse to move into the area and exploit its gold reserves. He was able to justify his actions by arguing that he and his British South Africa Company were members of a white race that had formerly ruled in the area. To his credit, Rhodes did try to stop the destruction and ransacking of the site by treasure hunters.
In 1902, it was estimated that at least 2 000 ounces of ancient gold ornaments had been stolen from the ruins.
Masses of gold bangles were found round the arms and legs of the skeleton. Heavy coils of iron bangles round one leg had rusted to a solid mass, in which gold and glass spacing beads could be distinguished. The arms and neck had been surrounded by great numbers of gold wire bangles… . Where the skull had lain were found pieces of curiously shaped gold plate, the convolutions of which suggest they had adorned the wooden headrest of the corpse. A bowl of gold plate … was found, together with a gold plate bangle and a gold circlet and sheath or point, which probably ornamented a staff of office.

Great Shona Mashona Zimbabwe the “land of Ophir - Jacob Hungwe (Zimbabwe): I am a descendant of the royal house of Great Zimbabwe. The Hungwe Dynasty. The ruler was a Great Woman Queen, and her known name is "Queen Of Sheba". The Great Zimbabwe was a trading post, ant the ruler queen, was a great traveller, as she had Gold to back her travels, which became known as "King Solomon's Mines". This can be proved by the fact that the surrounding area all the way to Johannesburg South Africa is still Rich and has an abundant supply of Gold,not to mention diamonds. The Great Zimbabwean ruins according to biblical scriptures and prophecy are to be there until the Messiah (Jesus Christ) comes back to reign in the millenium (1000 years)golden age, as it says that Kingdoms will come to give tribute to the lion of Judah in Jerusalem, inclusive of Queen of Sheba kingdom. There are also some detailed secret things l am aware of but am not supposed to reveal for cultural reasons and the traditional law.
