Africa is so starved of civilization they have to bind themselves to a deserted small town as heritage because there wasnt anything more civilized than a small stone age town before Imperialists arrived. Africa is and has always been an uninhabitable backwater. Now it is an overpopulated backwater where so many animals and plants go extinct every year in an effort to cut down jungles to make room for more farmland to feed even more people. If no one stops this all the rainforests will be butchered by 2050

Just why would the African indigenous people build such a complex structure with intricate Stone work for some royalty and they them selves live in mud huts surely if the city and its people were so powerful in their day like that similar to the hanging garden's of Babylon they would all live in magnificent stone structure's displaying wealth of all its people it just doesn't ring true this story!

0: 51 you know, I have to say it's a little strange for me to hear something outside of Europe called medieval, haha. I mean. I suppose one could say that. but would one call contemporary native structures, villages medieval, or Chinese, etc. It's a little strange, it's as if I expect that medieval is more than just about the given year something was from, but culture, context, etc.

I wish white scholars would do more research and educate themselves way more, in order to understand that there was a major difference between a RELIGIOUS LEADER and a SPIRITUAL(ist) LEADER. They are not the same thing.
And not knowing the difference is the reason you still condescendingly call people 'witch doctors'

I know this is going to sound horribly offensive, but Great Zimbabwe isn't really all that great. Literally plop it down in anywhere in Europe or Asia, or even Central America, and it would be no big deal. The fact that _this_ collection of stones represented the zenith of African civilization is honestly kind of sad.

I'm Zimbabwean and it's beautiful to see my history being told. Sadly a lot of African history was lost making it even more important to preserve what we do know. I also really liked the use of mbira music in the background that made the video even more authentic.

Africa is contrary to perception highly divided from great deserts, to tropical rainforests to temperate regions in southern african regions and economic activity tends to thrive in temperate regions.

It's not madzimbabwe, it's dzimbabwe which means houses of stone. The pronounciation was also wrong, but I get it, it's not your language. I loved the video, though! I don't see much about my country.

I'm Indian but I don't trust most of ancient Indian history narratives because all the 'legitimate' sources are by Britishers. How sad that we can never truly know our own past.
