Bizarre that the century-old theory that the Phonecians/Arabs/etc. built Great Zimbabwe is still in circulation.

What, not the British-Israelites? This is clearly a mistake.

That shit just will not die. Last time I was in Port Elizabeth I had a white cab driver who would not shut the fuck up about it.

This one with a novel twist about mining, which fails to account for the fact that there isn't a gold or silver mine under Great Zimbabwe.

I mean, if we’re ignoring all the other archaeological evidence we might as well invent King Solomon’s Mines for good measure, right?

Ha! As you may know, there was a company called Ancient Ruins Mining in early c20th Zimbabwe that assumed these stone structures did have gold and old mines in them, and destroyed several of them in the search for gold.
