Great Zimbabwe, having a city.

First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Yeah, there are legends of transoceanic voyages, and in the case of Mali it was Mansa Musa I who supposedly ordered the exploratory voyages?

Correct. Mali Empire. And the interesting fact is that its ruler, Abubakari II (Mansa Musa was only interested in spending gold in Cairo) went in person towards the New World.

Her name was Hypatia. What was the honour given to the leader of the mob that tore her limb from limb?

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

There is a substantial Mennonite community in Chihuahua, Mexico that was settled around the turn of the 20th century by Mennonites fleeing Canada because they feared they were going to be forced to stop speaking/educating their children in Plattdeutsch.

The Mexican government agreed to give them substantial land grants and leave them alone in terms of education/language under the condition that they provide what service to the Mexican people, which they are still famous for providing to this day?
