They became well known to English readers from J: Theodore Bents'sseason at Zimbabwe, under Cecil Rhodes’ patronage.
GREAT ZIMBABWE
Archaeologists generally agree that the builders probably spoke one of the Shona languages. Some have postulated that Zimbabwe was the work of the Gokomere people, who gave rise to both the Warozwi people, and the Mashona people. Great Zimbabwe and various stone cities in east Africa are also claimed by the Lemba, an ethnic group who claim ancient Jewish descent.
