TWIN ENIGMA TO EGYPT'S SPHINX*. ZIMBABWE, SOUTHERN RHODESIA 



The ruins of the Great Zimbabwe, near Victoria, Southern Rhodesia, are as yet an unsolved 

 puzzle to men of science. Some believe that the great pile was an ancient temple. Others 

 consider it merely a kraal fortress, of Bantu design and construction, of the fourteenth century. 

 This view shows a passage between walls 30 feet high, constructed of small cubes of hand- 

 tooled granite.
