About Matopo-Gebirge

Other, Unclassified Objects, Interesting Places, Historic Object

Das Matopo-Gebirge (auch Matobo-Gebirge) ist ein Gebirgszug im heutigen Simbabwe südlich der Stadt Bulawayo. Das Matopo-Gebirge beheimatet eine der umfangreichsten Ansammlungen von Steinzeitkunst und Höhlenmalereien im südlichen Afrika. Seit 2003 steht es auf der UNESCO-Liste des Weltkulturerbe.

Die Gegend gilt als das Zentrum des Glaubens der Shona an den Gott Mwari, der dort aus den Felsen spricht. Noch gibt es in den Bergen Orte mit besonderer kultischer Bedeutung, etwa Njelei und Dulu. In dem Gebirgszug liegt das Grab des Gründers des Matabele-Königreichs, Mzilikazi.
