Great Zimbabwe Historiographical controversy Who built Great Zimbabwe?

Great Zimbabwe “It can be taken as a fact that the wood which we obtained [from Great Zimbabwe] actually is cedar-wood and it cannot come from anywhere else but from the Lebanon. Furthermore, only the Phoenicians could have brought it here; also, Solomon used a lot of cedar-wood for the building of the temple [in Jerusalem].” Karl Mauch, German explorer & geographer (1871) “The word ‘peacocks’ in the Bible may be read as parrots and amongst the stone ornaments from Zimbabwe are green parrots.” Cecil Rhodes, English businessman & politician (1891) “In recent years, most Africans have not only claimed the ruins as the product of an indigenous African society but have taken pride in them as a reminder of past glories.” Peter Garlake, Zimbabwean archaeologist & art historian (1973)
