Great Zimbabwe is a stone masonry marvel, a city built on sheer nerve and an eleventh century show of the consistent and unique prowess of the people of Zimbabwe. It is by no accident that Zimbabwe is a country that invites intrigue and interest from many corners of the world. It is by design that Zimbabwe is strategically located on the African continent and is set for a return to those glory day...s of the Great Zimbabwe Empire. Great Zimbabwe was the economic hub of the whole continent and a booming trading empire that flourished between the 11th and 15th centuries. Great Zimbabwe's most enduring and impressive remains are its stone walls expertly constructed from granite from the surrounding hills. All of Great Zimbabwe's walls were fitted without the use of mortar by laying stones one on top of the other, each layer slightly more recessed than the last to produce a stabilizing inward slope. Zimbabwe and Zimbabweans have a duty to revive the country and bring the Great out of Zimbabwe again. It was the collective spirit of the people of Great Zimbabwe that saw the kingdom dominate and we have a duty to carry forward the bravery and valour of our forefathers.
