The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

These are the remains of a big city in Zimbabwe from the 11th to 15th centuries.

This part was mostly ruined.

But the big walled enclosure was less ruined.

These stones were obviously put this way for a reason.

The walls were very smooth and even.

This tower is much taller than Matt.

The wall had pretty decorations on one side.

If there had been more decorations in the wall it probably wouldn’t still be standing today. This should be a lesson for architects everywhere.

From the top of the hill you could see how huge the city used to be.

There were more mostly intact walls up there.

They were built around giant rocks.

This was where they cooked for the king.

This wall was also artistically enhanced.

Building a palace around a mountain must be difficult.

This rock is supposed to be shaped like a woman.

This rock is shaped like a bird. I have a million Zimbabwe dollars for anyone who can show it to me.

This is where the king sat with a good view of the city.

Goodnight.
