The controversy that surrounded the Great Zimbabwe Ruins until the early 1900s was to establish that African society did not build Great Zimbabwe and it is done by some other migrant society.

There were lots of political pressure put to deny the African people's role in the Great Zimbabwe ruins.

Explanation

Great Zimbabwe was an ancient city that was spread around 1,779 acres containing huge stone walls of height 11 m.

They were built around 11th to 15th century.
