About this product
Product Information
Mapungubwe was discovered 75 years ago and has remained one of South Africa's best-kept secrets. The Hill of the Jackal was the centre of a thriving civilisation around 800 AD-1200 AD. Extensive trade with Arab and Chinese merchants took place here, as did the making of exquisite gold ornaments. Eventually, the people moved on to what in now great Zimbabwe, leaving behind a wealth of gold artefacts (3,000 to date), pottery and beadwork in the burial plots on Mapungubwe hill. Was this the site of the legendary King Solomon's mines? Who knows? But, there are 20,000 Iron Age goldmines in the surrounding areas. Here then is a feast of images of the gold artefacts, the pottery and the beadwork - together with a brief history of the civilisation - Mapungubwe is now to become a Heritage site - and there is a permanent exhibition of artefacts at the University of Pretoria. The Vembe Dongola National Park, which contains Mapungubwe, has now been renamed Mapungubwe National Park.

- a***o (685)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent condition for its age (better than the picture)! Very good pricing. Delivery time was amazing- 3 days through Fed Express. I was worried Fed Express package would not prevent book from getting wet today, but I was wrong. Very, very well packaged. Inside the envelope it was in a cardboard container and inside that it was wrapped in plastic. Book is perfect. Very happy and would not hesitate to buy from her again.Stout, Rex ..
