Around 1430, a prince from Zimbabwe traveled north in search of salt among the Shona-Tavara. The prince was Nyatsimba Mutota, and the land he conquered would become the kingdom of Mutapa. Within a generation, Mutapa eclipsed Zimbabwe as the economic and political power in southern Africa. By 1450, the capital and most of the kingdom had been abandoned.
