About Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is introduced here through six dated records from UNESCO and the World Bank. The lessons use Great Zimbabwe, Khami, Matobo Hills, mbira or sansi, a country overview, and a population indicator. Each lesson keeps a source and date close to a claim. It also separates a checked fact from a broader story that needs more evidence.
