Mapungubwe and Great Zimbabwe were both prominent ancient civilizations in Southern Africa, but they had distinct characteristics. Mapungubwe, located in present-day South Africa, thrived between the 11th and 13th centuries, known for its early social stratification and trade connections, particularly with the Indian ocean. Great Zimbabwe, flourishing from the 11th to 15th centuries in present-day Zimbabwe, is famous for its impressive stone structures and was a major center for trade in gold and ivory. While both societies engaged in trade and had complex social hierarchies, their architectural styles and geographic locations set them apart.
