Excerpt from The Gold Regions of South Eastern Africa
The region described in the following pages was, until the last few years, when the explorations of Herr Much, Erskine, Elton, Chapman, and others somewhat dispersed the cloud of mystery in which it was enveloped, essentially a mythical one. Its geographical features were generally depicted in the manner described by Swift -
"So Geographers in Afric Maps
With savage pictures fill their gape,
And o'er uninhabitable downs
Place elephants instead of towns."
The name of Monomotapa (which means a place from which something valuable is derived), is seldom used except as a mediaeval.
