Mapungubwe was rediscovered in the 1930s by archaeologist Edward Goodwin. He uncovered the remains of the ancient African kingdom of Mapungubwe, which was a powerful state that thrived between the 9th and 13th centuries.
Mapungubwe was forgotten until 1932. On New Year's Eve 1932, E. S. J. van Graan, a local farmer and prospector, and his son, a former student of the University of Pretoria, discovered the wealth of artifacts on top of the hill. They reported the find to Professor Leo Fouché of the University of Pretoria, paving the way for excavations that continue to this day.
