| Summary | "Great Zimbabwe, Mashonaland, Rhodesia" by R. N. Hall is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume details Hall’s two years of investigative work regarding the Great Zimbabwe ruins, specifically focusing on their architecture, history, and the archaeological findings associated with the site. The book aims to uncover the story of Great Zimbabwe while dispelling myths and conjectures surrounding its origins and significance. The opening of the book introduces Hall's arrival in Victoria, a town in Southern Rhodesia, en route to uncover the mysteries of Great Zimbabwe. He discusses the logistics of his expedition and provides vivid descriptions of the site, emphasizing its grandeur and the imposing nature of its ancient architecture. As Hall and his companions explore the Elliptical Temple and Acropolis, feelings of awe and reverence wash over them, raising questions about the purpose of the structures and the beliefs of those who built them. The narrative captures the beauty of the ruins juxtaposed with the surrounding vegetation and the lively native culture, setting the stage for an exploration of a civilization rich in history and significance.
