Who Built Great Zimbabwe? Debunking Colonial Myths
This episode tackles the enduring question: who built Great Zimbabwe? Lucas and Luna explore the racist colonial theories that denied African achievement, from Karl Mauch's fanciful tales to the archaeological evidence that proved the Shona built it. They discuss the role of the Zimbabwe bird as a symbol of indigenous pride, the work of Gertrude Caton-Thompson, and how modern archaeology has confirmed the site's African origins. A story of stone, identity, and the fight for historical truth.
