For those who din't know, besides the Great Zimbabwe Ruins and Khami Ruins (the biggest), Zimbabwe has some other 150 major stone ruins scattered across the country, and also hundreds more smaller stone ruins. Thank you Wode Maya for showcasing our Zimbabwe history to Africa and the world. Ndatenda, Ngiyabonga, Asante sana, Ke a leboga.
@@kmu3795 Yes you can also find them in Botswana and one of the most famous one is called Domboshaba Ruins and is found in Masunga village. Its also a tourist attraction site.
To correct you the larger ones are 500 they range from 4km2 to 7km2 the area they cover from different time periods . The smaller ones which are like villages e.g nyahokwe village great example from different time periods .
Am karanga from Masvingo, my grandfather taught me our history and I have been to all these places , the modern ruins being Naletale ruins . Am proudly karanga , the stone people of Southern Africa .
As a Son of Africa, living in the US, Wode Maya stirs our hearts and minds , presenting our Motherland and all of her proud Sons and Daughters at Home and in the Diaspora. To those of you who have been blessed to have been born in the Motherland, breath the air , see the sky, hear the languages and share the cultures of Mother Africa, let not the challenges, issues, struggles and concerns of our collective past or the present day, stop you from embracing all your histories and your family. We are ONE. Africa is the soul of the Earth. The future of the world rests upon the strong shoulders of Mighty Africa.
Zimbabwe, like all African States, has history backdating to Royalty and Chiefdoms. Thank you Wode Maya for taking your sweet time to teach the 🌎 about Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
I studied architecture in the US, but after a 2 year degree decided that I do not want to learn from those who copy. I want to learn from the source... I must go learn architecture from the ancient Africans.
Yes!! Yes!! And yes!! There's an entire Wikipedia article on the Architecture of Zimbabwe. You must check it out. Also, look up Eastgate Centre in Harare which uses African termite biomimicry in its ventilation system.
That’s great, I studied architecture in Africa first then in Europe and I am glad I did because by the time I was in Europe and they were teaching the history of world architecture, I could immediately tell the strong African influence in their architecture just by looking at the structures. At the time I was very open to different explanations of the origins but just looking at the architectural language I could tell what the inspiration was particularly the Greco/Roman styles. You won’t believe the fictional explanation our lecturer in the U.K. gave of the inspiration/origins of the Greco/Roman style of architecture… and this was a supposedly top architectural school.
@@kmu3795they love to make up lies that will promote European superiority. But, the Greeks went to universities in Alexandria, in Africa so clearly the source of their knowledge wasn't European.
I am Jamaican, and my grandparents use to build retainer walls with stone and no mortar, if you go to very rural Jamaica there are sections of these that still exist with out mortar
Zimbabwe is still the intellectual capital of Southern Africa. The history should inspire the nation to reclaim it's glory. The Portuguese paid curva or tax to the Mutapa Kingdom for decades. Apart from paying the curva all goods entering the kingdom were levied an import duty equivalent to 1/20 of their market value. Non payment led to seizure of the goods. Thank you Wode Maya for showcasing the rich history of Zimbabwe. Look out for my book entitled, ' North of the Limpopo : A Fascinating History of Ancient Zimbabwean civilizations '. Out in November 2022.

Even in Jamaica growing up I remember the men in the villages would blow those sea shell to tell the other villagers that they we going to cut/reap bananas the next day,that was wireless.🇯🇲🇯🇲
Listening to this master piece has made me realise how Afro-pessimism, anti-blacks racism and how structural gratuitous violence against Africans has destroyed our identities. We really need a sharp turn to undo the persistent racial subjugation that is deeply embedded in our minds and modern society. Thanks Wode Maya 🔥🔥👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Deep naked truth he said Africa proplem is we have migrated mentally but physically we are in Africa. i agree with him this we see it in many things Africans do e.g bleaching skin bcoz we want to be like a white person, weave hair like a white person long hair, and being busy concerned about US European issues etc Ukrain War, Qeen Elizaberth funeral yet we have enough things to deal with in Africa starting with our minds. Thanks Wode Maya.
What this man said about the people of Cameroon is right not only Cameroon my country is more close to west African nations but culturally and mentally we are more close to the people of Angola Namibia Zambia Zimbabwe or south Africa.
African Heritage is the Key!! Maya you are bringing the whole continent together. Yes go back to our spiritual systems. You really making me want to live in Zimbabwe. I want a copy of his book also.
Mighty Africa! There is so much that Zimbabwe and ALL the nations of Africa have given to advance civilizations all over this world and that is fitting, as Africa is the birthplace of all of the human race. Mother Africa, Mighty Africa.
Wow now that's the history I'm familiar with as someone coming from south Africa especially in Limpopo province I grew up knowing that my great great grandparents are coming from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 thanks Wode Maya
Marvelous! Zimbabwean historians, you have real work to do now and all pan and African historians, get to work. The challenge is in your hands now. Great job, Wode Maya!

Well presented Wode Maya. You ask relevant questions and the responses are great! Much respect for you young man, and congratulations to you and Trudy ,for the union.
In the Nederland they only show the soffering and war and poor africa country on the news and tv.Africa is a nice beautiful country and a rich country love it
We were wireless. Africans used drums. The drums were drummed a certain way to say there is war, dance, feast, or other events. In my village people wrap their hands together to inform the whole village and beyond that there is beer or meat for sell and the people knew exactly what was communicated. In my village, people take one week turn to graze the whole village cattle. So when the person on duty is ready to go grazing, he wraps his hands together and blow into the hallow created by the palms of the hands. By so doing everyone who owns cattle comes out, frees the cattle and drive them to the person on duty. The same happens in the afternoon when the animals are brought home. There were also signs put on roadsides to communicate. For example, if there's beer for sale in a household you will see a sign on the walkway to the home. There were different signs and people knew what they stand for. So nothing is new. We were wireless before the west is wireless.
You should be, it’s not even that far away from Bulawayo. Please try making an effort to know your history, heritage and country. There are many hidden gems.
Portuguese knew what they were doing, they brought their negative energy and intentions. Wow, the ancestors really had great ideas! We need to reconnect and integrate some of the ancient ways of knowing. I am so proud of my Afrikan roots. Don’t be fooled, there are those who study what they call witchcraft only to use it against you. These things are done in secret.
The only way we can move forward is to embrace our culture and go back to the drawing board.As a Zimbabwean I feel colonisation distorted everything and made us feel inferior yet we've a great mystical culture.
Wode Maya you're doing a great job. Well done African son. May God grant you with more resources, sponsors to keep changing African narrative. Thank you thank you
Zimbabwe has many knowledgeable people. I really enjoyed this series and learned a lot. I now understand the environment where most Zimbabweans come from in terms of mindset.
He did an excellent job on Zimbabwe. He really enriched our knowledge of our great Continent doing justice on the rich history and culture of Zimbabwe. It is just mind blowing.
My hope is the the African Union gives funding and a passport; and most importantly, you retain power for your creative authenticity. That would be the best situation. So proud of you my brother
But you Jamaicans have forgotten that Some of the people are actually from Zimbabwe originally who went with Portuguese to South America. Portuguese spent lot of time in Zimbabwe before establishing Brazil and other nations. Many people where from these Kingdoms, they where present during construction of some of these ruins. It's sad yall directed to west Africa when seeking your exact roots
@@jayleetzvevo460 We as Jamaicans are mostly west and Central Africans. Our enslaved records, Genetics and elements of our culture shows this. So obviously we would focus more our ancestral land. This doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate other African regions. I am majority Nigerian-Cameron-Congo, with small percentages of southern African bantu. Culturally we as Jamaicans relate more to west Africa than Southern African.
The real truth about Zimbabwe's sanctions is to hinder it from its greatness. If Zimbabwe was to succeed after land reform, then the whole African continent was to follow suit. I feel ashamed of hating Mugabe during his days, I was lost.
Land issues shall be seriously be taken up in south Africa, Kenya , Namibia, Angola, mozambique , Ivory Coast , these are the countries where European settlers illegaly occupy Land .
It's not all about sanctions, we got enough resources to flourish upon that land reform,the major sanctions is our leadership, coz from the word go we knew it that as long we claim our land back, definitely the Western would subsequently sanctioned us,let's stop this monopoly of a blame game and irk out a living with what we have, show the world that the land reform was not a fluke or failure, unless we change our negative and self pitting mindset blaming the West, we won't succeed
@Wode Maya, this is deep, very true, our culture, our societies and forgotten or denying our ancestors because someone said so! We need to go back to the drawing board! They never had prisons, no street kids or homeless people, no stealing, no drug usage, no hunger! They were brother’s keepers, materialism and selfishness was non existent. Forgotten our languages etc, the list is endless! The bond was great. We need to go back to the drawing board and guidance will be unleashed to the whole country or continent of Africa!! Thank you Wode Maya ###AfricaToTheWorld!!
@@victortakunda5443 im not denying that but how accessible are they My point was we should promote, be proud of who we are and our history more as a nation
if you did your education in Zimbabwe from grade 1 to Form 4 then everything Maya posted about Zim you already did it in Social Studies, History and Content
@@djsamaria1731 are you sure about that if you have a daughter or a son who just finished high school are they going to back up your claim about Khami ruins. If this history was tought as it was supposed to why are we having identity crisis more than any other nation.
Witchcraft is knowledge, pure good knowledge, those who have it use it for the wrong reasons. Its unfortunate those Europeans had a good plan in place to destroy African knowledge. Many Africans will continue to suffer while waiting in vain
Thanks for posting. No one talks about it because it means we have a history. The colonizers have always said we have no history. Thanks for providing them wrong.
In Zimbabwe, the biggest tragedy is that a lot of Black Zimbabweans aspire to leave like the colonialists. they raise their kids without connection to rural areas,some of the kids barely speak local languages they attend schools that were designed to produce overseas British Citizens by deliberately not having any connection to the local education curriculum.. ...If you acheieve all those things you are seen as prestigious.... We need the upper-class Zimbabweans to come back to Zimbabwe mentally and the lower-class folks will easily emulate them.That's why they have no solutions to our challenges.
As educated as Zimbabweans are and moving all over the world, can the structures in the actual country be changed to meet what the majority of people of Zimbabwe . The people of Zimbabwe deserve better judiciary systems even according to our customs and traditions, performance, merit , and accountability , is what matters to our people . Until all those things are achieved, Zimbabwe will continue to struggle and it’s 2022. We can not continue to be a problem in the SADC region, we are not poor people, in mineral resources, spiritually and educationally. We can do better on the continent of Africa, if things are done right, the blue print is there ,Great Zimbabwe is there , the Rhodesians even put there own blue print !!!!
The Chinese and Indians have been to MIT , their govts have provided an environment intolerant to too much corruption where these people then return home and thrive ,and so they were able to build the same . Mumbai is now the Silicon Valley in computers etc in India . I am sure they were laws in our culture where there were checks and balances in Great Zimbabwe and that’s how it thrived. Until the thuggish behavior, unlawfulness, and there is order, and accountability.We are not going anywhere,
@New Horizons how many spaces are there in Zim where can you dance your muchongoyo and play your mbira in peace without the colonial induced structures making you a pariah? Would you even be able to keep your job if you came out today as a truly proud child of your ancestors who still lives in their ways???
Thank you Mr Ghana 🇬🇭 🙏🏽, I was just home a month ago and only got to take my kids to the most famous ones 'Victoria falls, Mtarazi falls' because of watching your videos. Because of you I have since decided to travel more in Africa and teach my British born children to love our home and continent 🌍Thank you Wode maya👏🏽Amazing job you're doing👏🏽
Harare,Masvingo, Bulawayo,Gweru, Marondera major modern Zimbabwean towns are located close to a historical stone monuments from the ancient civilisation . I think the colonialists new something....
Wow. That is beautiful history. In Kenya we learn abit of african history. Being a kikuyu, some words from Africans from the south are familiar. Who knows what happened, maybe we spoke the same language at one point seeing as we migrated from the south.
Please l need SUPPORT from everyone watching this documentary to HELP ME vote or lobby for MODE MAYA to be given GHANAIAN and AFRICA UNION DIPLOMATIC PASSPORT. He deserves it better than all African KITCHEN presidents AKPE,
Not true. The Scriptures were in Africa before they ever went to Europe. The coup de tat happened during the time of the Nicene Creed by Roman and Greek bishops against the North African holders of the faith. Ask yourself, how could Christianity become an institution about 300yrs after the fact. Africa you were rhe original holders of the faith, and still have the original worship of God. Don't let the West fool you. All they did was take what you knew about God, and restructured in such a way to hide the truth: Assyria battle ax, Egypt my people, Israel inheritance: all the children of Ham. Abraham's genealogy I believe misconstrued. The Scriptures are not referring to these small countries named after biblical places. It is talking about a people, a family....that is you Africa - Zion is who you are.

Thanks for posting. No one talks about it because it means we have a history. The colonizers have always said we have no history. Thanks for providing them wrong.
In Zimbabwe, the biggest tragedy is that a lot of Black Zimbabweans aspire to leave like the colonialists. they raise their kids without connection to rural areas,some of the kids barely speak local languages they attend schools that were designed to produce overseas British Citizens by deliberately not having any connection to the local education curriculum.. ...If you acheieve all those things you are seen as prestigious.... We need the upper-class Zimbabweans to come back to Zimbabwe mentally and the lower-class folks will easily emulate them.That's why they have no solutions to our challenges.
This thing of forcing a people to learn foreign languages is what Africans here in South Africa revolted against dutch settlers in 1976 .
@New Horizons that colonial education that we are so proud of is the major culprit, it destroyed our souls
As educated as Zimbabweans are and moving all over the world, can the structures in the actual country be changed to meet what the majority of people of Zimbabwe . The people of Zimbabwe deserve better judiciary systems even according to our customs and traditions, performance, merit , and accountability , is what matters to our people . Until all those things are achieved, Zimbabwe will continue to struggle and it’s 2022. We can not continue to be a problem in the SADC region, we are not poor people, in mineral resources, spiritually and educationally. We can do better on the continent of Africa, if things are done right, the blue print is there ,Great Zimbabwe is there , the Rhodesians even put there own blue print !!!!
The Chinese and Indians have been to MIT , their govts have provided an environment intolerant to too much corruption where these people then return home and thrive ,and so they were able to build the same . Mumbai is now the Silicon Valley in computers etc in India . I am sure they were laws in our culture where there were checks and balances in Great Zimbabwe and that’s how it thrived. Until the thuggish behavior, unlawfulness, and there is order, and accountability.We are not going anywhere,
@New Horizons how many spaces are there in Zim where can you dance your muchongoyo and play your mbira in peace without the colonial induced structures making you a pariah? Would you even be able to keep your job if you came out today as a truly proud child of your ancestors who still lives in their ways???
Ooh Maya.. this is awesome
Good stuffs comes in black too
I think our problem is we failed to document some of our rich heritages and inventions
We didn't fail to document our ways, were destroyed languages destroyed

Another geat work Wode Maya, keep going. We have your back.
Harare,Masvingo, Bulawayo,Gweru, Marondera major modern Zimbabwean towns are located close to a historical stone monuments from the ancient civilisation . I think the colonialists new something....
We knew something too
They had to make sure that our belief systems are completely annihilated
Which ruins are close to Harare and Gweru? i know the other three.
What I know is they hanged Nehanda in Harare, it shows there was a shrine close by.
@@bill4all782 Harare has Domboshava ruins, Gweru has Danamombe ruins
Thank you for showing my country
Wow. That is beautiful history. In Kenya we learn abit of african history. Being a kikuyu, some words from Africans from the south are familiar. Who knows what happened, maybe we spoke the same language at one point seeing as we migrated from the south.
Please l need SUPPORT from everyone watching this documentary to HELP ME vote or lobby for MODE MAYA to be given GHANAIAN and AFRICA UNION DIPLOMATIC PASSPORT.
He deserves it better than all African KITCHEN presidents
AKPE,
I love you brother thank you everyday I learned something I'm so proudly and blessed being from Africa
Much love and respect, Brother!!
We Africans are deviated because we are worshipping and fellowshipping the European and Asian cultures.
I think so too
Not true. The Scriptures were in Africa before they ever went to Europe. The coup de tat happened during the time of the Nicene Creed by Roman and Greek bishops against the North African holders of the faith. Ask yourself, how could Christianity become an institution about 300yrs after the fact. Africa you were rhe original holders of the faith, and still have the original worship of God. Don't let the West fool you. All they did was take what you knew about God, and restructured in such a way to hide the truth: Assyria battle ax, Egypt my people, Israel inheritance: all the children of Ham. Abraham's genealogy I believe misconstrued. The Scriptures are not referring to these small countries named after biblical places. It is talking about a people, a family....that is you Africa - Zion is who you are.
Watching Wode Maya wonderful series on Zimbabwe from Uganda 🇺🇬
Thank you Maya
