EDITORS COMMENTS
Great Zimbabwe: A Glimpse into the Mysterious Past of the Shona Civilization through the Parallel Passage (circa 1940s) This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic remains of Great Zimbabwe, a prehistoric African civilization that once thrived in present-day Zimbabwe. The ruins of this ancient city, which served as a major trading center, are a testament to the ingenuity and cultural richness of the Shona peoples, the ancestors of the modern-day Zimbabweans. The photograph focuses on the Parallel Passage, a unique architectural feature of the Great Zimbabwe ruins. The passage, flanked by two massive stone walls, is a fascinating example of the intricate masonry techniques used by the Shona builders. The walls, which are estimated to weigh up to five tons each, were constructed without the use of mortar or binders, demonstrating the remarkable engineering skills of the civilization. The Parallel Passage is believed to have served as a ceremonial or administrative center, and its exact purpose remains a subject of ongoing archaeological research. The passage's symmetrical design, with its narrow entrance and gradual widening towards the interior, adds to the sense of mystery and intrigue that surrounds this ancient African civilization. This photograph, taken in the 1940s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of prehistoric African history that continues to captivate and inspire. The ruins of Great Zimbabwe stand as a reminder of the complex and rich cultural heritage of the African continent, and serve as a source of pride and inspiration for the people of Zimbabwe and beyond.
