À propos de ce livre

Deep in the southern African plateau lies a sprawling metropolis of towering, mortarless stone walls. At its peak, it was a bustling hub of international trade, controlling gold networks that stretched to the shores of China. Yet, for centuries, the world was taught that it never existed. Great Zimbabwe represents one of history's most profound examples of archaeological denial. When European colonizers stumbled upon the massive ruins, they refused to believe that an indigenous African civilization possessed the engineering prowess to construct such an architectural marvel. To justify colonial dominance, they fabricated racist theories attributing the walls to Phoenicians, Arabs, or lost biblical tribes. This book unearths the true history of the Shona people who built and ruled this formidable empire. It traces the complex trade routes, the sophisticated cattle-based economy, and the political hierarchy that sustained Great Zimbabwe, while simultaneously exposing the political weaponization of archaeology. Reclaim the stolen history of a continent. Explore the monumental legacy of Great Zimbabwe and understand how historical narratives are manipulated to serve the architectures of power.
