Mapungubwe – The African Kingdom Forgotten By Time | History Documentary

Watch ‘Ancient Egypt – Life and Death in the Valley of the Kings’ here: https://youtu.be/lhWSqRl18IE

Between the years 950 AD to 1290 AD, on the Northern border of South Africa, traversing the conference of the Shashi – Limpopo Valley, which today divides Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa, existed an ancient African Kingdom, called Mapungubwe. From the Iron Age to present day this unique one-hour film explores the history and tells the story of this remarkable city.

Governed from an impenetrable hilltop, Mapungubwe became the business centre for all of Africa’s trade which, by this period, had become well integrated into the world economy and thrived on trade with the East Indian Trade Route attracting traders from as far afield as Persia, Arabia, India and China.
Mapungubwe was inhabited by successive groups of people for this 300 year period until it was mysteriously evacuated. No one knows for sure why, but in 1290 Mapungubwes’ inhabitants left, taking with them the memories and stories of Mapungubwes’ early history.

In this film archaeologists and historians take us on a journey through a thousand years of untold African history revealing the controversial discovery of this ancient site and it’s golden artefacts.

you need to say mostly dutch colonizers never use afrikaneer because afrikaneer means nothing but confusion. Keep it short and simple without confusion.

We did not migrate from the central Africa. We are indigenous to these plains. You should stop with these lies.
