Uncovering Ancient Southern African Kingdoms

Across the face of southern Africa are more than 460 remarkable stone palaces – some small, others rambling, but many are astonishing. All are the legacy of kingdoms past. Some, such as Great Zimbabwe, Khami near Bulawayo, and Mapungubwe in South Africa, are famous world heritage sites, but the majority are unknown to the general public, unsung and unappreciated. Palaces of Stone brings to life the history of various early African societies, from AD 900 to approximately 1850. By exploring a selection of known and unknown sites, the authors uncover the emergence of ancient civilisations and reconstruct the meaning of the ruins they left behind. Patricia Glyn will be in conversation with authors Mike Main and Prof. Tom Huffman, welcome by Roelien Theron – managing editor at Struik Travel & Heritage and Struik Nature, Penguin Random House SA.
