| 説明 | The ancient city of Mapungubwe (meaning 'hill of the jackal') is an Iron Age archaeological site. Mapungubwe hill is 300m long, broad at one end, tapering at the other. It is only accessible by means of two very steep and narrow paths that twist their way to the summit, yet 2 000 tons of soil were artificially transported to the top by a prehistoric people of unknown identity. One thousand years ago, Mapungubwe appears to have been the centre of the largest known kingdom in the African sub-continent. The civilization thrived as a sophisticated trading centre from around 1200 to 1300 AD, trading gold and ivory with China, India and Egypt. Archaeological enquiry uncovered the remnants of numerous dwellings, which had been built on the ruins of predecessors over many generations, resulting in a series of habitation phases. |
