\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nA sua pe\u00e7a central \u00e9 uma estrutura chamada o Grande Recinto. Os artes\u00e3os constru\u00edram-no, amontoando mais de um milh\u00e3o de pedras, sem nenhuma argamassa, com a precis\u00e3o que \u00e9 evidente at\u00e9 hoje. \u00c9 a maior estrutura antiga de toda a \u00c1frica Subsaariana.<\/p>\n
A sua muralha el\u00edptica exterior possui 250 metros de circunfer\u00eancia e 11 metros de altura no seu ponto mais alto. Uma muralha interna que segue em paralelo a muralha exterior forma uma passagem estreita, de 55 metros de comprimento, que d\u00e1 para uma torre c\u00f3nica. A torre, de 10 metros de altura e 5 metros de largura, pode ter simbolizado um celeiro. Ou pode n\u00e3o ter tido qualquer significado sen\u00e3o apenas como um enfeite, como a linha de divisas pr\u00f3xima.<\/p>\n
Era uma tamanha fonte de orgulho para a regi\u00e3o que, quando a Rod\u00e9sia ganhou a independ\u00eancia, em 1980, o Primeiro-Ministro, Robert Mugabe, mudou o nome do pa\u00eds para Zimbabwe, que se traduz para \u201ccasa de pedras.\u201d<\/p>\n
No seu pico, era uma cidade pr\u00f3spera, conhecida pela sua minera\u00e7\u00e3o do ouro e como um centro de com\u00e9rcio regional. Mas para toda a sua influ\u00eancia, n\u00e3o foi capaz de se manter firme. As pessoas come\u00e7aram a desertar a regi\u00e3o em cerca de 1450. Ficou abandonada dentro de alguns anos.<\/p>\n
O arque\u00f3logo zimbabwiano, Shadreck Chirikure, fez com que fosse o trabalho da sua vida provar que o Grande Zimbabwe constitui uma parte importante da hist\u00f3ria. As suas descobertas foram reconhecidas e honradas internacionalmente.<\/p>\n
Existem v\u00e1rias teorias para o decl\u00ednio e eventual abandono do Grande Zimbabwe. Alguns dizem que a \u00e1rea ficou superpovoada e n\u00e3o podia mais produzir comida suficiente. Apesar de antes j\u00e1 ter sido um entreposto comercial, pode ter perdido os seus neg\u00f3cios para regi\u00f5es de com\u00e9rcio mais a norte.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nOutra teoria indica que o local tinha o suporte da minera\u00e7\u00e3o do outro e n\u00e3o p\u00f4de manter-se depois que as minas ficaram esgotadas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAlguns investigadores sugeriram que a fome, a car\u00eancia de \u00e1gua e a instabilidade pol\u00edtica fizeram com que o Grande Zimbabwe perdesse a sua utilidade. A maior parte das teorias indica as provas de que o Grande Zimbabwe esgotou os seus recursos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cN\u00e3o aprendemos do passado tanto quanto dev\u00edamos,\u201d disse Chirikure ao The Economista, em 2021. \u201cAqui est\u00e1 um lugar que foi ocupado por pessoas que investiram muito na produ\u00e7\u00e3o, que desenvolveram liga\u00e7\u00f5es regionais, que tamb\u00e9m estavam a interagir com outras partes do mundo \u2014 e eles constru\u00edram um lugar com tamanha for\u00e7a e resili\u00eancia.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
