世界十大神秘古都一览：大津巴布韦(组图)

大津巴布韦

　　8.Great Zimbabwe

　　At 1，800 acres in breadth and the only one of its kind in Africa， the complex of Great Zimbabwe confounded early European colonialists， who couldn’t believe that sub-Saharan peoples were capable of its creation.

　　大津巴布韦

　　占地1800英亩的大津巴布韦曾是非洲独一无二的都城。早期欧洲殖民主义者见到它后大吃一惊，他们不相信撒哈拉沙漠以南的人民有能力建成如此先进的城市，但这是事实。在公元1200年后，有2万人口的修纳人王国占领该地后建造了这种都城。
