Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -By 1450, the capital and most of the kingdom had been abandoned. The end of the kingdom resulted in a fragmentation of proto-Shona power. Two bases emerged along a north-south axis. In the north, the Kingdom of Mutapa carried on and even improved upon Zimbabwe’s administrative structure.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ruins of Great Zimbabwe span out over a 722-hectare area in south-eastern Zimbabwe. Construction began in the 11th century and continued for over 300 years, making the ruins some of the oldest and largest stone structures in southern Africa, which are today a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
