Search for the Lost Kingdom of Mapungubwe

This documentary searches for Mapungubwe, an ancient African kingdom that flourished near the meeting of the Shashe and Limpopo rivers between roughly 950 and 1290 AD. It uncovers the trade, gold, and sophistication of a civilisation once written out of the region's history. The film restores a lost chapter of southern Africa's past through archaeology and evidence. It is an absorbing watch for anyone interested in African history and the rediscovery of forgotten kingdoms. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
