Delving into the stories and history around the treasure enhances the storytelling, adding depth to the storyline. Throughout, I sat on the edge of my seat, itching to unravel this age-old enigma. Great work on making such an engaging and immersive video!

    I love it when European explorers came to Africa and declare they were the first white men to see something😂The Portuguese and the Boer hunters saw these things long before, they just did not write about it or have a Society sponsoring them. Example is Vic Falls named by Livingstone, he was not the first European to see it but first to give it a name. My family trekked to Zimbabwe in 1894 and our family moved there because the men had surveyed the land ahead for years before we moved. The Moodie trek was in 1893 right past the Zimbabwe Ruins. Selous, Hartley, Bell were all there long before this German explorer.

      He never even got that! He never found any of her gold mines, just some gold. not any ancient mines. Next, he didn't find her city, either, as what he found was something else entirely, built by someone else and WAY after her time. He made ZERO discoveries, just conclusions (and WRONG ones at that) -- all he got was an "experience." That's it. And years of his life wasted living harshly chasing something he was wasn't even close to finding.
      Sheba's gold/precious stone mines AND her city/palace have never been discovered...no one even knows the country she lived in, as those are just guesses as well. Look at all the guesses here in this comment section: The Philippines? How silly...
      And did the video say Solomon never existed? Then why are they looking for anything related to him? What a crap video of "entertainment" value only...for the clueless & gullible.

    The first Century Roman-Jewish Historian, Flavian Josephas had given correctly in my estimation the origin of the Queen of Sheba as INDIA. No other country on earth has more gold, or a love for gold, per head per capita as India still holds. There are elephants, tigers, leopards etc there too, as well as all the spices known to man. India was Egypt's ancient trading partner and suits the bill as an ancient civilisation to more than rival anything on the Mediterranean in King Solomon's time.

      There is a region of Ethiopia called “Afar”. I can’t help but think that if Ophir were in Africa and associated with Saba (Sheba) then it would be in a part of Africa not far from there, although the name “Afar” may simply sound close to “Ophir” by coincidence rather than actual historical connection. But that is an interesting line of thought that someone more learned than I must have pursued by this point.

    1) the local Africans at the time of the discovery FUCKING SAID SO THEMSELVES, THAT THEY DIDNT BUILD IT
    2) did the Africans that were there 1,000 years prior and still there to that day just somehow FORGET how to build structures like that, or did they just choose to live in mud huts ?
    3) neither of the two “professional” archaeologists after him, proved that he was absolutely wrong…there’s a difference in timeline of a thousand plus years…

      @user-vw6bk4pb4l 8 місяців тому +3

      1. The builders of the structures are the acestors of the Shonas and other related tribes in the region who have always claimed and recognised it. There have been many expedictions to that region this guy literally learnt about it from a Portuguese source. The dscendents of the people who built it have always claimed it.
      2. The people living there at the time were a different tribe/clan who recently moved into the area, there are many tribes in that region who are constantly migrating. That's like asking a white Mexican of Spanish descent living there if they built the Aztec pyramids, and they say no, that doesnt mean that there are no indegenous people in Mexico who are direct descendants of the Aztecs! The Shona are the largest tribe in Zimbabwe, but there was major discplacement in the region for centuries most notably 19th century due to Shaka Zulus wars, when the Ndebele tribe and others who arrived in that region and caused major diplacement of the native people. Its basic history and common sense.
      3. There has been loads continued of professional archeological work in that site and throughout region including anthropological studies of remains and genetic studies. It is now an insdisputable fact that it is an African settlement and there are many other kingdoms and cities of precolonial Africa too. But of course you have never bothered to do any research, you'd rather invent a narrative based on your imagination that has zero grounding in the reality of the situation. African heritage by Africans get over yourself!

    The ruins at Great Zimbabwe have long been debated not least by Africans. This collection of buildings is the only extensive stone structure found in Central and Southern Africa .Hence Europeans thinking that Africans didn't build it. It was the British contended otherwise. The program mentions towards the end that artefacts from the outside were found there.. Unlike the beginning where it states this wasn't the case. As this building is so singular and lonely without written inscriptions it is capable of supporting many racial and nationalist positions.
    A strong one was that it was built by African labour and even by an African king but the major source of wealth for these rulers was the ivory & slaves. In the late medieval period onwards the Arabs were the major slavers especially in the African interior and in this area .in particular and remained so until well into the 19Cth until the British suppressed the trade. Major slave collecting point for an African ruler. This offends the politically correct, but knowledge like nature doesn't support sensibilities.
    Interesting that there are no references to the House of David found pre 1990. A lot of this reminds one of the various attempts to 'authenticate. " Homer ( about the same time as the Bible is being written ) . A lot of good stuff was found and knowledge was greatly expanded, but in the cases of these seekers .It often turned out to be much older than that it was taken to be at the time . Rather than in case of this poor German and Great Zimbabwe which turned out to be much too young. Good program

      The ruins of Zimbabwe were not such an outlier, there were countless 'mysterious' stone ruins and cultures all over that region of Africa. And if you read the records left behind by the European explorers of the ages, its very common for them to remark about how they cannot believe they are witnessing the level of advancement in the African interior. Laughable actually. And that is the result of 17th-19th century ideology that promoted the innately superior white man and the uncivilised barbaric savages of the world, expecially the black man who was even claimed to be closer to ape than to other men. Africa was labelled as the 'dark continent.' There was also a popular myth around the 'curse of Ham.'
      Here is an example of the city of Simbamwenni a Wanyamwezi settlment in the Tanzanian interior 19th century:
      "Within two hours on the following morning we passed close under the wall of the capital of Useguhha-Simbamwenni. The first view of the WALLED TOWN at the western foot of the Uruguru mountains... was one that we did not anticipate to meet in Eastern Africa. In Mazanderan, Persia, such a scene would have answered our expectations, but here it was totally UNEXPECTED. The town may contain a population of 3,000, having about 1,000 houses; being so densely crowded, perhaps 5,000 would more closely approximate. The houses in the town are eminently African, but of the best type of construction. The fortifications are on an Arabic Persic model-combining Arab neatness with Persian plan. 👉 Through a ride of 950 miles in Persia I never met a town outside of the great cities better fortified than Simbamwenni. IN PERSIA THE FORTIFICATIONS WERE OF MUD, even those of Kasvin, Teheran, Ispahan, and Shiraz; THOSE OF SIMBAMWENNI ARE OF STONE 👈, pierced with two rows of loopholes for musketry. The area of the town is about half a square mile, its plan being quadrangular. Well-built towers of stone guard each corner; four gates, one facing each cardinal point, and set half way between the several towers, permit ingress and egress for its inhabitants. The gates are closed with solid square doors made of African teak, and carved with the infinitesimally fine and complicated devices of the Arabs, from which I suspect that the doors were made either at Zanzibar or on the coast, and conveyed to Simbamwenni plank by plank; yet as there is much communication between Bagamoyo and Simbamwenni, it is just possible that native artisans are the authors of this ornate workmanship, as several doors chiselled and carved in the same manner, though not quite so elaborately, were visible in the largest houses. The palace of the Sultan is after the style of those on the coast, with long sloping roof, wide eaves, and veranda in front." - Chapter V, How I found Livingstone by Henry Morton Stanely
      Its all over the literature. The reason for ignorance was unjustifiable, the Europeans would always credit Africa achievement to outside invasion, or a race of lost white men especially during and after the englighenment era. Even today many people in the West still think Africa is a jungle, and dont know there are many large modern cities. There's nothing new...

    Mapungubwe as it's now called is actually built by Indians who travelled during the Gupta empire period in search of gold - the area known as Mashonaland is 2 Indian language words of North India - Maha ( great) + Sona ( gold) ,a professor from Univ of Cape town did a paper on it where he did indepth research to prove the Indian origins of it + many temples to Indian Hindu gods have been discovered in these areas. The locals use the term Surya for the sun ( Sanskrit) , they farm according to Asian systems not as other African tribes do , & the gold plated rhino with a short horn is indicative of the Asian rhino not the African species that has a much longer horn. These Indians settled in this area & probably bred with locals as was the case along the African coast ( Ethiopia, Egypt, red sea area ) . Some of Israel's lost tribes trace their present places as central Asia & parts of the Indian subcontinent.

That tells of commerce with asians and not asians building Mapungubwe. The tribe is called shona not "mah sona"!!!

And why would this legendary queen leave her amazing kingdom to visit some two-bit monarch north of Saba? This is all bible lore. Most of it is made up, fiction, as most of the bible is.

    I'm starting to get tired of this type of documentary where they never find what's in the title, even with all the grandiose promise and bombastic orchestral music score. This one's a perfect example.
    The actual information is quite interesting, so why not make it all about how the incredible ancient city of Zimbabwe was discovered, disproving the pervasive, lingering attitude that black Africans are useless, instead of some bullshit about a bible-obsessed white guy who refused to believe the evidence right in front of his eyes?
    Unlike people like Heinrich Schliemann, Arthur Evans, Augustus Pitt Rivers etc., this bloke, whose name I refuse to write, deserves to languish in obscurity. Putting a ton of effort into something clearly doesn't always mean you get something worth remembering out of it. You also need a competent brain in your head.

    Hades, Hell, and Tartarus (Tarshish) are all Central American regions of what-became the Underworld of mines, mining, torture, heat, sweat, turmoil, torment, physical-psychological-mental-emotional distress. Hades is a Greek word of the area. Hell (Roman) (Hebrew and Greek Gehenna) were all American anathema banishment life-penalties from the Israelite empire. These were American prison mines and camps. Tartar-us of the Greeks was where the civil war of the Olympians (Old Guards) and the Titans (young new upcomer New Guards) war, where the Titans were banished to (the Americas). As such, all these precious metals mines were from the 1000s BCE and later (if not earlier) in the greater Central America. It is only when Prince/Rabbi Jesus stopped all of the Americas' gulag and prison systems and releasing all the captives (prisoners) that all of these biblical tales of tormenting hell and hades orignated.

The Jewish (closed) community having banishment (anathema) practices would send people to their own gulag mines etc. Other expat Jewish communities like the Lyons (Gaul-France) and the Septimanea Midi Jewish kingdom on the Rennes Le Chateau area (700s-900s CE, recognized by the catholic church) were other jewish communities, besides North Africa and the Spanish peninsula. Tarshish was the western European seaport for sailing over to the Americas (i.e. Jonah). The Underworld is just saying the other hemisphere of the planet, not some supra-dimensional sphere. The ancient legends tell of the (dying) leaving god(s) and their (resurrection) arrival, having switched between the northern hemisphere growing season and the southern growing season. Those Elohim, fallen angels, ETs, call them whatever name, they (and the lesser humans) did circum-navigate this planet. And they did mine all of the Central and South American (Mexican and Peruvian) precious (gold silver copper tin, zinc) and industrial (iron) of the area. It was these mines and colonies that were the gulags and torment of physical life, implied into an afterlife of sinful torment and torture by the catholics. See through all of the lies, and you see Jesus coming to the Americas (vastly mentioned in native legends) and he "freed the captives" and stopped all of the gulags, as the "Lord of Mercy."
