Excerpt from The Ancient Ruins of Rhodesia (Monomotapae Imperium) This work is presented to the reader as a contribution towards the preparation of that brief, which, when all the possible evidences forthcoming from the hundreds of ancient ruins in Rhodesia have been secured, shall be submitted to acknowledged archaeologists and antiquarians for their final pronouncement as to the origin of those ancient peoples who have left such substantial evidences of past civilisation and industry in the territories known to-day as Southern Rhodesia. The authors are forced to admit that the theory of the successive occupations of Rhodesia by South Arabians and Phoenicians has, so far as researches have been made, exceedingly strong claims for acceptance.

The Silence of Great Zimbabwe
Author: Joost Fontein
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1315417200
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
This book examines the politics of landscape and heritage by focusing on the example of Great Zimbabwe National Monument in southern Zimbabwe. The controversy that surrounded the site in the early part of the 20th century, between colonial antiquarians and professional archaeologists, is well reported in the published literature. Based on long term ethnographic field work around Great Zimbabwe, as well as archival research in NMMZ, in the National Archives of Zimbabwe, and several months of research at the World Heritage Centre in Paris, this new book represents an important step beyond that controversy over origins, to focus on the site's position in local contests between, and among individuals within, the Nemanwa, Charumbira and Mugabe clans over land, power and authority. To justify their claims, chiefs, spirit mediums and elders of each clan make appeals to different, but related, constructions of the past. Emphasising the disappearance of the 'Voice' that used to speak there, these narratives also describe the destruction, alienation and desecration of Great Zimbabwe that occurred, and continues, through the international and national, archaeological and heritage processes and practices by which Great Zimbabwe has become a national and world heritage site today.

Excerpt from The Ruined Cities of Mashonaland: Being a Record of Excavation and Exploration in 1891 IN looking over this work for a second edition, I find little to add to the material as it appeared in the first, and next to nothing to alter. Sir John Willoughby has kindly supplied me with details con cerning five weeks' excavation which he carried on the summer following the one which we Spent there, the results of which, however, appear only to have produced additional specimens of the objects we found - namely, crucibles with traces of gold, frag ments of decorated bowls, phalli, &c. - but no further object to assist us in unravelling the mystery of the primitive race which built the ruins.
