The name âZimbabweâ is an anglicized form of an African word meaning âstone housesâ, for the ruins of the Great Zimbabwe are comprised of several stone walls, monuments, and buildings built mainly of granite. The structures were created using a method called dry stonewalling, which requires a high level of masonry expertise.
The Great Zimbabwe, a Unesco World Heritage site that is one of the few surviving precolonial monuments in sub-Saharan Africa, has long been the continentâs fiercest archaeological battleground. Europeans used its supposed foreign origins to justify their domination.
