The first European to have visited Great Zimbabwe was Karl Mauch in 1871, he is the one who
rediscovered the site. Some scholars say Adam Renders found the site on his hunting trip in
1867, then he showed it to Karl Mauch in 1871. Mauch thought he had found Va biblical site, he
believed the site was built to replicate the palace of Queen Sheba in Jerusalem.

History of Great Zimbabwe
Great Zimbabwe site was built by the Shona people before the 14th century. It was once a
Shona state, infact a strong one. Shona people occupied the place, they had much wealth in
form of livestock which allowed them to build the walls. The stone capital became known as
Great Zimbabwe which was centre of social, political and religious activities. The King of the
state was called Mambo. Great Zimbabwe state emerged during iron age around 1200 AD. The

Granite stone which they used to build the site was available in large numbers in the area. They
also built it for religious purposes and as well as prestigious reasons.
It was used a a trading place which was controlled by the ruling class. Egyptian artifacts were
found on the site suggesting that they traded between Kingdom and outsiders. The ruling class
was strong enough to organise almost the whole population to build a high surrounding wall
made of granite blocks. Building the wall is believed was not an easy task it required strong
labour, hence they also used slaves they had raided from other states as source of labour to
build the walls.

and destroy CD4 cells. If a person’s CD4 count falls below 200, they have AIDS. If someone with HIV
develops an opportunistic infection associated with HIV, they can still be diagnosed with AIDS, even if
their CD4 count is above 200.

HIV infects vital cells in the human immune system, such as helper T cells, macrophages, and dendritic
cells. HIV infection leads to low levels of CD4+ T cells through a number of mechanisms, including
pyroptosis of abortively infected T cells, apoptosis of uninfected bystander cells, direct viral killing of
infected cells, and killing of infected CD4+ T cell. When CD4+ T cell numbers decline below a critical
level, cell-mediated immunity is lost, and the body becomes progressively more susceptible to
opportunistic infections, leading to the development of AIDS.

It is believed HIV which cause AIDS was caused by SIV. SIV stands for Simian Immunodeficiency Virus.
There is evidence that humans who participate in bushmeat activities, either as hunters or as bushmeat
vendors, commonly acquire SIV. However, SIV is a weak virus, and it is typically destroyed by the human
immune system within weeks of infection. It is thought that several transmissions of the virus from
individual to individual in quick succession are necessary to allow it enough time to mutate into HIV.
Scientists suggest that SIV crossed species from the wild chimpanzee or apes to humans and later on the
virus developed to HIV.

The virus can infect a individual through unprotected sex with an infected person. One can be infected
whether it is vaginal, anal or oral sex. The virus can enter your body through mouth sores, or small tears
that sometimes develop in the rectum during sexual intercourse

It is also caused by use of contaminated needles, syringes or sharp objects that can increase or cause
blood to blood contact. If blood to blood contact occurs with an infected person you will get infected.
For drug injection users HIV can be caused by blood contact through the sharing of needles.In some
cases the virus can be transmitted through blood transfusion. If the blood has not been screened or
tested infections that might attack the patient. Many hospitals now screen the blood supply for HIV so
the risk of this happening is low.

The virus can also spread from mother to child. If a mother is HIV positive there are chances the child
would be positive too. This can happen either during pregnancy,tall, it is found between two walls.
