The Kingdom of Mapungubwe (1220–1290 ) was a pre-colonial state in Southern Africa located at the confluence of the Shashe and Limpopo rivers (22°2′S 29°36′E / 22.033°S 29.6°E / -22.033; 29.6), south of Great Zimbabwe. The Kingdom was the first stage of development that would culminate in the creation of the Kingdom of Zimbabwe in the 13th century, with gold trading links to Rhapta and Kilwa Kisiwani on the African east coast.

Famous quotes containing the words kingdom of and/or kingdom:
“...I do deeply deplore, of the sake of the cause, the prevalent notion, that the clergy must be had, either by persuasion or by bribery. They will not need persuasion or bribery, if their hearts are with us; if they are not, we are better without them. It is idle to suppose that the kingdom of heaven cannot come on earth, without their cooperation.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“The kingdom of our Prospero, Freud, now dissolves in air.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
